I just got around to getting out and shooting my free targets today.

Unfortunately the vids I took don't show the targets at all. The targets were set at 50yds and 100yds. I do have a couple pics though. Don't mind the shots though, It was my first time shooting a rifle (m14 with iron sights):redface:

Well if that second target was representative of a gopher patch, there would be no need to worry about there not being any left for next time........;)

Just wanted to make sure there was no survivors;)

From the top of the big square and down I had no idea if I was even hitting paper. I could barely see the target at that distance and when the sights were lined up, the target disappeared.

After I somewhat figured it out. I did the top "group".
 
Baby steps first - hitting paper. It's difficult to shoot at 100 m with iron sights if your're not using a spotting scope. Very small adjustments result in big movement downrange. When I first started shooting 30 cal rifles with irons I was happy to get all the shots into a 6 inch circle. Now I beat myself up if I don't shoot a "good" group or pull a shot. Keep practicing and have fun. I get good results with a no-mod M14 and find the sights good to use but the adjustments are a bit gritty/sloppy.
