Here's my new 3 shot group @ 25 yds
I remembered to breath and squeeze slowly this time. And I put it in a vice

Oops I should put a coin up next to it

That's a quarter

Whatever you do in the end make sure you can make the shot (the same range and shooting setup) in practice before you take that shot while hunting. And be honest about your abilities and the abilities of your gun. Alot of people aren't.

Much better! Adjust your site just a little right and try a group at 100 or 50 if that's all the room you have. If you can get a group like that at 50 1" low you should be good out to 100 on deer.

I may have just rushed those first few shots I took this morning. I had wanted to shoot it before work so maybe I didn't remember to squeeze the trigger and instead just jerked it.

Remember in hunting situations your under even more pressure

Okay, I'll do that. Thanks

Good point

Okay will do!

Thanks for all the ballistic calculator info, guys!

Adjusted my scope a little and shot 3 times (I made a cross over the holes) and then shot 3 more times (the ones without any markings on them)

At 25 yards still

So, I would need to mow a spot to be able to take a 50 yard shot cuz the longest straight mowed path is just over 25 yards and the weeds are too high for me to shoot anywhere else. If I keep my shots 50 yards or under this weekend do you think I'll be ok? Or should I only shoot out to 25 for now?

I agree , with one change to that statment

an inch low at 25
dead on basically at 50

if that picture was your 50 yard group I would be comfortable with you hunting to 100

it was a rest with a vice so keep working on your shooting

here is a tip and it needs no ammo cost
get right on , close your eyes , take a breath you only count yourself as on at the bottom of a breath cycle lungs empty
when you get back to the bottom of that next breath open your eyes and ask am I on ,(don't quickly move the gun and try and lie to yourself), if you are not move your body till you are on
and repeat

with each breath you should watch the rifle move vertically and return to the same spot at the bottom of the breath. that spot when you close your eyes breath in , breath out , open your eyes as you run out of breath and open your eyes , that point is your NPOA natural point of aim , it is where your body is pointing at a relaxed state

anything that you push to without moving your body is not natural and will not stay well

a good marksman with low recoil can with a spotter for safety lay prone , and aim 1 time , and with eyes closed fire 5 rounds on 5 breaths from a semi auto 22lr and have a nice little group having shot all 5 rounds eyes closed because they are not working against their body

spotters job and they need to be right next to you is to make sure nothing enters your field of fire and you don't leave the berm or target backer. so they stand right over the top of you and call cease fire and put a hand on your shoulder if you need to stop because the range became un safe.

youth season starts tomorrow , you should be ok to 50

forearm

Ok, thanks! I'll try that! That's pretty cool!!

all right, thanks!

…. Go bust one cowboy

I'll try
