Saturday was a beautiful day to be outdoors "Down On The Farm," and we took a break from our projects to shoot Mr. Completely's March e-Postal contest. I started out by checking my sight settings on the Single-Six. I knew from Merle' contest that the groups needed to move slightly right and down, so I moved the rear sight one click down, and one click right. With my arms rested on the bench I shot two five shot groups at this spot from fifty feet with Remington Yellow Jackets.
This group was shot with CCI Mini-Mags, and we used the Mini-Mags to shoot the targets for the contest.
This month's contest is shot from 25', offhand, with ten shots. Each star can only be scored on one time. The twenty point stars are a pretty tough challenge for someone who's eyes aren't made for iron sights, and the Mrs.' first target had a score of zero. She tried again, and made a score of 35.
I managed to hit a 50 point star with my first shot, then missed the paper trying for the upper right 50 pointer. I concentrated on trying to hit twenty point stars after that, and got three. I shot three more targets, but this was my best one.
You still have one more weekend to shoot your targets for this contest. Remember that every entry gives you a chance to win a $50.00 dollar gift certificate from Cheaper Than Dirt.
