I use the LH side & bottom edges of the centre circle (moth ball) to aim at, I'm told by some US shooters that that isn't right & is too slow....many many ways to skin a cat...
With most guys...
There were plenty of 1.0"-2.0" at 100 yards & 2.0" + at 200 yards, not all were shot my newbys like me
The conditions were extreme for shooting, when you hear "names" saying they would be delighted to be able to shoot a 5 (0.5") at 200 you realise everyone is struggling.
Everyone was shooting 6PPC, a lot of the serious guys make their own projectiles, most guys were using VV N133.
With 65-68 grain projectiles zipping along at 33-3500 fps.
Groups are measured...
They remeasured it & double would be 0.92 :)
An Aussie shot a world record in the 200LV, he shot a 0.160 which was remeasured at 0.138, the world record was 0.184
Thanks Stu :)
These were held at my local range in Nelson from 02 to 12-11-17 & I was asked to post my results.
