Pulled out the Slavia 630 tonight, been working on that one a bit but will be taking it apart soon again to have it reblued.

I'm kind of excited that I scored as I did shooting a rifle tonight, think I may even try this target with the others just to see how I do still. Too bad I missed a couple of them.

All,

Well, this one was a fun one for me.

I had very little time and had to shoot it in a rush, but I told my family, "I gotta shoot this competition real quick!". So I ran downstairs and shot it.

I did better then my usual scores, maybe cause I didn't have as much time to "think" about each shot(?). That always messes me up!

Anyways, thanks to all that shot, I look forward to this competition each week!

Here is the results:

Gun: IZZY 46m
Stance: Standing, one hand, right hand
Pellet: RWS Hobby
Distance: 5m
Duration: 7 minutes
Score: 118/180 (20+20+20+6+6+10+13+13+10)

Thanks again to all for a fun one!

Holy cow! Nice shooting John. Some days you got it, some days you don't.

Sometimes being under pressure works like you say, don't have time to think about it, just do it.

I smell a winner here. Smile

Thank you very much!

Believe it or not, I got all excited and told my wife and daughter, "Wow, I shot pretty good!"...

I get a kick out of my rare good scores! They just don't come around often enough! ; )
