I shot some amazing groups last weekend at long range that blew my mind. I showed them to a couple of of buddies but said I wouldn't post them because it had to have been a fluke. There is just no way 18 grain pellets can stay together at that distance. Especially when you load them straight out of the tin unsorted and outdoors.
So I went out again this morning to recheck my Optimizer yardage marks and see if I could get lucky again before the morning wind kicked in.
Keep in mind the better groups were shot in near perfect conditions. I had wind flags and strings hanging and if they moved even slightly the groups opened up big time.
Above is from last weekend.
This group is from this morning. Just the slightest head breeze made them drop.
Then I went ahead and confirmed my 183 yard mark when the wind died for a minute. The low shot is from dropping off the reg. By the time I aired up the wind was back and the party was over.
