It has stopped raining for a bit so I got out first thing this morning. I drove out to where I shoot and managed to get three shots off before the blackflies and mosquitoes start to feast on me. I really want to shoot today so I drive home and take a bath in some bug juice and return to spot. Take bite of 98% DEET you little buggers. Now with the bug problem solved I get down to some shooting.
In my first target the first 3 shots are from 13 yds. I then adjusted the sights and backed the target off to 50 yds and fired for effect. I noticed that I was consistently right so I drifted my rear sight to the left a hair and set up a new target. The first 3 shots there are in the bull and the last 2 just outside.
I was having issues with the set trigger on the first target. I would cock the hammer, "set" the rear trigger, line up on target and squeeze the front trigger. All I would get would be click and the hammer would fall to half cock. This would happen two or three times. When I shot the second target, I used the front trigger only as that click was playing havock on my pysche and groupings.
Anyone have any thoughts on this set trigger buisiness? I tried adjusting the set screw after I finished cleaning it, but it had no effect on the hammer as it still fell to 1/2 cock only.???
All shots were with 75 gr 3F Goex (charge and prime), .495 ball w/ walmart blue stripe pillow tick, lubed with Moose Milk lube. Point of aim was the bottom of the bull. Shooting off a bench.
