Ok...I am pretty excited so this story may be a bit winded. Sorry in advance.
To start off, I had my gun in pieces the night before. I sold my NF scope to a friend of mine and decided to replace my trigger with a timney. So the fun began. I had my barreled action and mated it in one of my AICS stocks. Got my trigger in and set the weight. I decided to mount my 5-25 SB PMII scope. I was loading at 11 pm last night and my shoot was at 9:30AM!
I am a bit of a procrastinator and if it wasnt for the last minute, nothing would get done around me.
This was my very first competitive shoot period. I really had no clue what I was doing. Thanks to a couple of nice guys who filled me in on what was going to happen and what to do. I was able to use the left target for siters....Well, after getting my scope zeroed in with the wind ect, I started on my Record target. I did not have any type of timer so I was unsure how much time I had left. I started sending rounds down range at a good pace. I scored a 187 on my first string with 6 bulls eyes. The second time around, I had a bit of a feel for it and nerves were gone. I managed to keep them all in the 9 or better ring. I had 6 more bulls on this one with a 191 score. I won the match by 2 points with a score of 387.
I was just excited to do decent for my very first time shooting.
I know next time, I will have my gun set up and wont be sighting it in at the event and will bring s timing device so I am not frantically sending rounds down range trying to beat the clock.
