    Yer group is a lil to the left. Aim for his left nip and your group will be into his heart!
    My youngest son is arming himself. That will make all 4 sons armed. This is a photo of his first group at 7 yards under instructors guidance. He bought a S&W 40 cal. I think a XP 40 ImageUploadedByTapatalk1404343603.999125.jpg

    No !

    That ain't it.

    At 50 Yrs it hit dead center of the bullseye.

    I had 8 bullets all together. 5 was threw the same hole.



    At 100 yards with me having in the magnification zoomed all way in.
    Even though I was proped up. The scope would rock back and forth.

    I didn't know why.

    I couldn't make it quit rocking from right to left..
    The dude at the gun store said to pull some of the magnification off.
    When I go next month, I will try to use less magnification on the 4x12x40 Scope.

    Got a 4x12x40 Nikon

    Range master said I had it zoomed in too much. I had it zoomed in all way so I could seethe target great.
    He said after I came off the range and was talking to him.
    To back off on the zoom.
    I'm learning scopes. Never wanted them. Used to have very good eyes.
    But as I'm getting older that far off sight is going out more and more.
    So is close up sight.

    And my hearing. Lets just not talk about that.

    Boy you got that right CB. You probably already know it but when you shoot take a deep breath lets about half out and just squeeze.
