100 yards off hand today

[hunter thompson]

I WENT TO THE RANGE...in a relaxed mood non rushing..BEST times to shoot is being rested and laid back.I went to a competition line shoot and showed up late a few tears ago...THE best ive ever did..i won 25/50/100 offhand that day.Iam more focused and more alert than early mornings and caffeined up. Just a few pointers for you from 1000s of roundballs down range.

Relaxing and slow breathing is the key to of hand shooting.Relax and enjoy the game.

Shot this last week.

4 shots
TVM Natchez PoorBoy Flintlock
.40 calibre, 40 grains fffg GOEX, pillow ticking patch, moose milk lube

Bright Clear sunny day, no wind, 78 degrees

I’m afraid my days of “Shots Touching” @ 100 yrds, are clearly behind me. But still...that’s all shots in the vitals of a deer or antelope

Any Other Takers? I’d love to see other’s 4 shot groups, guns, loads….

That's some pretty good shooting. I know when I can on occasion keep them all in the black at 100 yards at a match it feels really satisfying. It usually means a score in the 40s out of 50, depending on target.

 

[hunter thompson]

yeah thats pretty good but in competition theres 5

Obtaining natural point of aim is another component of offhand shooting.

I have trouble doing that well at 50 yds offhand, so I don't bother trying 100 yds.

Yeah, my eyes are not what they used to be either, and things are a lot more wobbly these days when holding the rifle. The target looks like a tiny fuzzy dot at 100 yards, I felt so good that I was even on the paper with all 4 shots.

I will admit that I’ve been doing long shooting sessions, at least once or twice a week since last November, offhand and from the bench. I think that has helped a lot, shooting is a diminishing skill.

I used to be able to shoot “shots touching“ at 100 yrds…how the heck did I do that?…Longtime ago, much younger eyes I guess.

Good shooting! If I can do that off the bench I am happy. Don't get old my wife says! Ha, I tell her, too late.
Better check the barrel key, for what little I can make out, looks like it is slightly backed out.

Larrry...........THE BBL wedge pin is loose i usually take it out when shooting.Free floated barrel.

yup the wedge pin is loose,,It gives the barrel a harmonic flex when fired and doesnt interupt the performance against the stock that way

 

[hunter thompson]

The set trigger is pretty light ,,helps alot...id never be able to do that if it was any pulling at all...just need to barely touch it to fire..null b too and not alot

It hasn't really been too many years ago that I could shoot 100 yd. groups of 3.5" to 4" from a variety of positions. But those are the laurels we older guys are supposed to rest on. I'm resting now because I can't do that now.

You and me both

 

[Rock Home Isle]

I’ll be at the range on Friday, if I take my new to me .54 calibre…I’ll try a 4 shot 100 yrd group, and post. I have yet to see it at 100 yrds.
