Thanks Rob, Thanks Saxon

Lets see if I can answer a few questions. First and foremost, I only try my luck when there's little to no wind. That's key for me. I couldn't make a pimple on PCARMY's butt! LOL. The guy is phenomenal. I guess my 100 yd shooting is short range for him.
I do zero at 100 yds. I set up two targets at a time and my first target is my sighter. Just six huge 1.5" circles on paper. Then when I feel I've got a decent group zeroed in I move to the first NUAH target. The key is to try and get as many shots in the x ring so yes my POA is usually dead center of that. If my score looks bad on that first NUAH target I go back to the sighter target and make adjustments.
For instance one morning I shot this target on the very first attempt after sighting in on the sighter target. First shot was dead in the bulls eye. Second shot was high, then three more shots in the bullseye. It scored a 50/50 with 4x's and measured 0.925 ctc. To me that was my best target ever even if it was a 0.925 ctc because I had 4 x's.
That particular morning on my second target, the group was even tighter at 0.67" , but only had three x's
If my group seems to be moving to the left as in this photo, sometimes I will aim a pellets width to the right but not much, because if the pellet does go where you aimed you're screwed? So yes I am moving poa just a fraction inside that x ring from time to time. So I guess I'm more concentrated on trying to get that ever elusive 5 x's than actually shooting for group size.
For instance, I can't remember what day or target it was, but I was aiming at 2:00 oclock on the 10 ring line to get my shots to fall in the x ring. It wasn't worth the time it would have taken to go back and forth with sighters to get it perfectly centered if you know what I mean?
We've been getting some new NUAH shooters over at GTA and I really enjoy the enthusiasm. I love both of these forums AGN & GTA and hardly visit any other.
I entered my first target on July 28th right after I used that same target to gain entry into the NUAH club. That was match #4 for the year and I've shot every match since. Match #8 is the last one for the year, and we got about 3 weeks left to make an entry.
https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?board=219.0 I've seen lots of GTA members over here and vice versa. I think both forums have their pluses and minuses and compliment each other. If someone wants' to start something similar to NUAH over here I'm game, but I'll post results in both forums as I do anyway.
Sorry I got away from the topic, but just wanted to share a little more info on NUAH for those not aware?
