Yeah. I’m going to see how the next 200 rounds go, then maybe push the sights a little.

Do not push sights. Be sure it not you (trigger finger). The best way to test it is to shoot reversed two handed grip. Make your left had a shooting one and right hand supporting.
Check if you still shoot to the left.

Roger that. I don’t do anything impulsively. Before I push sights on any of my firearms I get a friend to video me shooting (from multiple angles) and then watch it in slow motion. Amazing diagnostic tool. I also offer this service to my students.

Good idea with videotaping yourself. I use body cam to self diagnose myself after range time.

If you trust your friend, let him shoot the gun to see if he also experiences windage deviation.

Zeroed two scopes today.One was on my 10 inch Taurus Raging Hunter.The other was a Sig tango lpvo on my Ruger MPR.Super easy to zero both. I stretched it out to 100 to check both and the damn wind started gusting to 40 mph.So I’ll have to go back on a calm day and try again.

I can’t believe it’s been four years since I started shooting. I’m up for re-qualification/renewal of my CCW permit in a couple of months.

In New Mexico, you can carry concealed the largest caliber you qualified with. For me that was a 9mm. So to practice for my upcoming qualification, I went out with my Sig P220 in 45 today. You also have to qualify separately for pistols and revolvers. I took my Colt SAO (yeah, the now infamous Colt) with me as well.

With some extra 45 ACP rounds, I had a little fun with some clays people had left behind on the range.

So nice to be out after a long winter.

Is there anything more fun than exploding clay pigeons? Wish we could post videos here.

Nice shooting. Wish I could qualify with my rifles.
Ruger 10/22 75 feet 50 shots


JRC 9mm carbine 75 feet 15 shots

Sig 322 80 shots 20 feet

Sig 365 10 shots 15 feet

Do they go only based on the actual diameter of the bullet? So if you qualify with say a .45 colt you could also carry a .44 magnum?

Hands down, this is one of my favorite drills

Good question. I’d say diameter, but I really don’t know.

(Re-) Calibrating my 100 yard zero. This is the tightest group I’ve ever shot. 5 rounds.

What’s more surprising is I shot this in a 9 mph crosswind.

Congratulations! What gun / caliber?

It’s my understanding that at 100 yards or less, wind very rarely plays a factor with rifle caliber bullets (except the .22). The bullet is covering the entire distance too quickly to be effected by the wind. But go out beyond 300 yards and that’s a different story.

@Alces_Americanus That’s really nice and tight, great grouping, and zeroed in nicely. :+1:

Thanks. This is my Sig Cross PRS in 6.5 Creedmoor.

Moving out a little to 688 yards after zeroing, there’s this little 8”x12” silhouette:

U 14.25 MOA
L 1.75 MOA

I wish the community software supported video posting so I could share the sound of the wind.
