First bullseye match of the season

[pepperbelly]

Last year I had a goal of breaking 800 shooting bullseye- I had been hovering around 650 when I started and was stuck just above 750 until late last year. I finally broke 800 with an 824.
Last Monday I shot in our first bullseye league match with my Ruger MkII .22. I have not had time to practice, or even dry fire during the winter.
With my reddot wandering all over the black I still somehow managed to shoot an 806.
My goal this year is to break 850. I know how difficult that is, but I am greedy!

Wish me luck,
Jim

Congratulations! I'm still regularly in the 240s for one leg, with a personal best of 264 last season (indoor, winter - this year will hopefully be my first outdoor season).

It always feels good to set a new personal best.

So now, you need to get to Carrollton on the lst Sunday of the month and at least shoot the .22 900 at the Dallas Pistol Club. Good job.

CDRT, I have been told that before by a shooter who shoots both here and there. I would really like to convince my wife that I need to shoot another match.

The next match is May 4. First shot downrange is at 9:00. I usually get there by 8:30 since we have to sign in, put up a target at 50 yards, etc. They usually have a ten minute warm-up period for sighters.

If you're only shooting the .22 match, you should be done by 10:30 or so.
