Blowing big holes in little targets now

[KHickam]

I got my lock and trigger back from Bobby - and I have shot close to 40 rds and the last 5 I was able to keep in the 9 and 10 rings on a 8" target - pretty happy about that.

I really love this Carolina fowler I have in 20 ga now!!! :thumbsup:

Addictive - I got my lock and trigger back on Friday - I went out between thunderstorms and tornado warnings today and yesterday - what a blast!

I keep shooting at about 35 yds on an 8" target. Funny, I can shoot off hand better than with a rest.

:rotf:

I'm still working on the offhand shooting with rd balls. But it is fun. :grin:

YOu have to be consistent in how you rest the gun when shooting off a bench. If you can't find a way to balance it on the barrel or underrib, 8 inches from the muzzle, then move the rest back so that it is touching the front of the trigger guard each time you shoot. Mark where your feet are placed when you sit at the bench. Then orient the rest to one position and leave it there for all shots. By putting your feet in the same position each time, you tend to control where you sit on the seat, and even where your elbow rests. The rest controls where the gun is placed, and all of those give you consistency to shoot small groups. Easy, right ?

At Friendship last week I saw a guy shooting a sighted smoothbore, and at 25 yards he shot as well as any rifle. Of course the balls were bigger, but his score was 49 out of 50. I was admiring the target, then he told me it was a smoothbore. Makes me think there's hope for me yet.
