Wish I could shoot my rifles as good as you guys shoot those pistols.

Haven't been able to shoot yet but will try to get it done.

Thanks for posting. Pistols should be used at 15 yds (13.7 M) so feel free to shoot it again at the shorter distance!

I shot this in Coweta, Oklahoma today. Apparently I had such a fear of shooting over the target that I overcompensated and shot under it.

I used the postal targets to finish sighting in my TC Patriot from the bench. Shots 1-5 are on the first target, I'll call shot 1 a fouling shot. I double patched shot 4. I adjusted the rear sight based on shots 2,3,&5 before shooting the second target. Shots 6&7 were still low so I adjusted the rear sight again for shots 8,9,&10.
#10 was just my fault. Score 35
