A little surprising

[Marlin989]

So I was at the range on Saturday, dialling in the scope on my .22. After getting it zero'd, I shot an 8 shot group a bit larger than a dime.

This was at only 25 yards, leaning over a bench and using a front bag.

Then I tried another 10 shot group, same distance, but using a hasty sling, still leaning over a bench. I was surprised to see 7 of the shots in a dime sized group, with 3 shots that I probably pulled - the three were all left and low and inch or so from the good grouping.

I expected to shoot much more poorly without using a front bag. I definitely noticed a lot more wobble and wandering of the front muzzle, but it was less than I expected.

It was nice to see my accuracy didn't completely go to garbage after a few months of not shooting.

It is like riding a bicycle. Ive gone a year without shooting handguns. Just to jump back and do well.

Thats good shooting , best part is , your going to. shoot some more again.
. I've been using extendable shooting sticks . There's different types and they're easy to use ... yeah , the shooter has to do thier part .
. They hold my rifle steady at. a comfortable height for me...and alot lighter if you need to bring your own sandbags .
I'm more than confident using them and use them for turkey and deer hunting .
