That’s a fantastic result. Well done, Tommy.
I’m still learning to read the flags in a more disciplined manner and not rush through the card. I tried two cards at 50m but couldn’t get above 230 this time round. The rifle is accurate enough. We again had a cold front come through on Saturday here in Pretoria causing the wind direction to snap from one direction to the next, often 180 degrees. Speed and direction changes were highly erratic. This was at the same range where the last 25m Benchrest world championship was shot.
Tried a few targets at a 100m. Managed to read the wind better. Also retuned the Impact and found the most accurate setting yet, shooting JSB KOs 25 grains at 990.
This was my first 6 shots. It unfortunately didn’t go any better on the other 3 target but all were far better than what I achieved during the competition last Saturday. My friend Greg shot even better, so we are hopeful that our Impacts can get us into the 230s soon. He had four or so slugs go through one ragged hole in the 9 ring.
Cannot wait for Saturday. This is becoming marvelously addictive.
