I went to the range again today. I got some new ammo that i wanted to try. I also got some tips from this site and other sites on how to improve my groups. I am doing better each time i shoot. Today was 100 yards open sights. (i know some people say that 100 yards with an AR is a waste of ammo, but i want to be accurate at 100 yards before i move out to 200.)
Conditions-About 40 degrees. There was a very slight breeze at times that seemed to kinda swirl.
Here are some of the new things i tried today.
1. I put a small dab of white out on the tip of my front sight post.
2. I mostly used official 100 yards NRA Military rifle targets.
3. I changed the position of my trigger finger. I now squeeze the trigger with the tip of my finger about a half inch in.
4. I tried to control my breathing better.
5. I also moved my cheek anchor point closer to the charging handle.
Thanks to everyone who has been helping me. I should be receiving my 200 yard targets soon. I will post those results when i get back to the range.
Here is the setup. I used a front rest only. I rested the rear of the gun while i was taking breaks.
Here are the targets downrange
100 yards with PRVI Partizan 55 grain SP
100 yards with Remington 55 grain FMJ
100 yards with Federal XM193 55 grain 5.56 FMJ BT
