Little things matter - 02/11/20
Now and then one needs to step back and not be too quick to blame this or that for a disappointment. As some of you know I've been plinking pigs over the years with a Contender and CB shorts. They worked because I could put them where it mattered.
Note the label style on the ammo box please. Time passed and my supply was getting low so in good faith I orders another brick and it arrived with the new blue label. Didn't give it a lot of thought at the time, but then one day I put some to the test. Yuk. 'Curse the new product' was my thought. Tried some CCI .22 Short Target with the same results. Dang it all. The old stuff shot very well, thank you. Starting with a clean barrel at 25 yards with a red dot sight.
Well, of late I've been having some vision issues and it has been quite vexing. Bad enough that I finally took the red dot sight off the gun due to the dot's appearance of being a bowl of spaghetti. Put an ancient Leupy M8-2.5x Compact on it and today was the day to get it zeroed. As it typical the first shot thru the clean barrel went wild in the streets. #1 far lower left. Then it got a little better. Hmmmmm...adjusted the sight and went a step further.
The next three targets were shot in numerical order, #2 & 3 using CB Short and the 4th with Target Shorts. Target #3 is a perfect 1/2" group. #4 illustrates something of interest. Put two in nearly the same hole and decide you need to adjust the bags? Sure....and put the next three in another hole. -laffin' here-
Gettin' old ain't for sissies.
