The "problem" these days is that expectations are starting to prevent the total enjoyment of shooting.
.22 cal rifles are what we are supposed to experience and develop a love for "just shooting".
As a kid if you consistently wailed a soup can at 50 yards you were an all star. It was a perfectly achievable goal and because you succeeded you continued in the sport.
Now with the internet and the high volume of cherry picked never to be repeated one hole groups prevalent to view anything less than 100 of 100 in the X ring is failure.
As a teenager with my Tasco 10-22 there wasnt a bird that was safe within 100 yards.
I probably shot better than because my targets were at varied unknown distances shot from different positions at varied angles of fire with targets that might move at any instant.
It was practical shooting as opposed to me now sitting down at a bench with static cookie cutter targets.
Now anything that isnt in the defines target causes disappointment.
We should shoot with young kids more and return to the enjoymant of making a big old milk jug bounce.
Brought an AR today to try to sight in a new to me ACOG TA33. Supposed to do some family dinner thing tomorrow night but if I can I want to break out either than Win 75T or Springfield M2 and shoot some of my cheap CMP Remington surplus ammo.
What do you want to see
@Alabusa - Iron sights or a scoped rifle? Single group or a dot drill? Cant do dots with the iron sighted gun, they are too small. Perhaps the 10-22 with iron sights?
