Meh; Bangity Ed.

Bullseye practice: .22 rimfire, open sight S&W Model 17, 6" barrel, with Winchester bulk-pack cartridges. 50' slow fire.


Not terrible, but not great. I don't seem to do as well on an indoor range as I do outdoors. The last time I seriously shot this gun at a match, one of the other shooters said that I was using ammunition that I had swept up off of the floor at a range. Probably because he was shooting match-grade stuff (and I whomped his ass).

The nice thing about the range is that, if I'm the only shooter and if I have a weapon properly equipped, they'll let me switch off the range lights and do some low-light practice.

    Yep, I corrected the post to add the distance parameter.

    I'd like to get them all into the black, though. If I can consistently break 80, I'll fee as though I'm getting somewhere.

    I run about 475 in Bullseye...

    Not quite there, but I don't practice as often as I should.

    w3ski,

    Could be. But then I'd have to take the trouble to number all of the chambers and then shoot groups from each. Sounds like work. ;)
