Well, April nearly gone by. Went to the range yesterday but post for right hand end of the 25 yard target had been shot off and target board tipped over, having no repair materials I came home.

Today decided to set up a target outside of my shop. Since it was raining I could step inside to load, step out the door and prime while rain drops falling in the pan, and take a quick off hand shot. I wobble so much it took 3 targets before I finally had one with 5 holes, so this is my best rifle submission.

.54 Jaeger, 31 " Douglas barrel, 90 gr. 2Fg, .535" RB, .018" patch Hoppes lube. Temp 40 deg. no wind, rain.



So 26 points here and my pistol submission earlier in the month was 16, so a whopping aggregate of 42 :)

What matters is you got out and submitted targets, foresterdj, well done.

Had some issues with the pistol and the wind.  But here they are. Laid the rifle target over an unfired one.
