Grabbed the gear and the .30 cal Boss right at dark thirty.Put a flashlight just off to the side of the target at 100 yds. Took about 4 or 5 sighters to make sure I had my bearings straight. Shot a 50/50 w/1 X at 0.73" ctc on the very first card! Good enough for me. The Boss makes it so easy. Put it back in the case and headed to Food Lion to make sure we had supplies if the Big "D" makes it up the coast like they say?
Came back home and grabbed the .25 FX 500 and tried my luck with it. Not quite as easy to get tight groups with it, but it can be done. About a half dozen targets later I finally shot a 0.73" ctc with it. Scored 49/50 with no x's and 0.73" ctc. I did manage a 50/50 w/1X but it was 1.4" ctc.
Then I grabbed my .22 Cricket pup and couldn't get anything less than 1.5" so I gave up. The Sightrons seem to do better in dark conditions than the Mueller on the Cricket. Hope to try all three guns in the daylight one of these days.
Note : I can only do this when it's dead calm. Throw in a little wind and my groups go to hades in a handbasket ;-)
