saitainaWhy is it my both eyes open, short range is getting better yet my narrow focus long range is sucking?
I can only guess that the short range is making up for the utter blind feeling I get when both eyes are open and I'm still attempting to focus.
I need to work on keeping my finger folded and off the trigger when I'm not aiming (as well as cocking the gun while pointed down, not pointed randomly to the side), good thing I'm only working with plastic BB's (hurt like a bitch but not much more then that unless it's an EXTREAMLY lucky shot).
I've also discovered re-bound's a bitch in the rain, for some reason wet pellet's hurt worse when they bounce back at you. Maybe I need something other then plywood as my backing (and then I wouldn't loose so many pellets...maybe like foam or something that will capture the pellet.
hehe, kinda makes me miss dad's old metal pigs he used for riffle practice, they had a nice PING when you hit them, not this 'thunk' of plastic.
Oh well, another day another twenty shots missed (okay so I'm exagerating but still...not winning any contests here).
