Howdy!

Was at the local Range today and got to meet the Range Boss. Local LEO who is also the firearms training officer.

Got to talking to him and find out the target backstops are at 25, 75, 100 and 200 yards, not 25, 50, 75 and 100 yds like I thought!

(Hi, I'm Sniper!)

So here all this time I have been popping away 75 yd shots thinkin they were 50!

Guess I shoulda measured.........

BTW, I have a 75 yd target to post from the Savage .22 with el cheapo Tasco 4x fixed scope. I'll scan it in and put it up tomorrow.

:right:

I guess you're a better shot than you thought, huh?

Better than most that swear 200 yds. is 600 yds.
