Wolverine Practice from bucket & sticks

[wolfmangreg]

Nice evening to get in a little practice. Good for some wind work too - weather app showed 4-6mph so not crazy, but plenty to push a 10.3 grain pellet enough to miss. Mostly switching back & forth from my 3 & my 9, with an occasional mild gust from 6.

Put some 1" dots on the trap & dragged it to what turned out to be 51 yards.

This one was pretty typical for the session, 6 shots:



Here's one totally cherry picked, & not at all representative of my skill level, 5 shots:



Nice to pull a target that turns out so good, pat myself on the back & smile. But it's also a reminder of what's possible from this rifle if I can just get out of the way more often!

Thanks Kevin!

Wind doping is very much a work in progress. Some days I feel almost competent, others like it's the first time ever shooting outdoors.

BTW, enjoyed the new vids!

Wind doping is a work in progress for me too!!! I feel that last statement about it.

Also thank you very much!

Nice shooting guy!

No such thing as cherry picked, it was a great group when you shot it. It counted then as a representation of what you were capable of at that moment, which was pretty d@mn good! I don't like that term and I get a little peeved when somebody rains on someones parade and says that only your average matters, your highs matter more, it's what keeps us going to be better. Good shooting Greg!

I like your point of view @Pumacarl! Of course the not so great results matter too for assessment of both the shooter & equipment, but if we dwell on those alone, much of the fun disappears. Then it's just work, & I ain't having it
