I made it to the range pretty early this morning, before it became unbearably hot and humid.
Carried the 10/22, Ruger MK II, and my old Marlin Mod 80 DL, with the new Leupold rimfire scope.
I didn't shake as bad as I have been and with the Marlin managed one group of 7 shots that measured approximately 3/8", and the other one that was a string.
I just purchased some cheap bags to shoot from, and I quickly found out that shooting from them takes concentration and practice. I shot the string on the right side first, followed by the other one.
Question for you guys that really know how to shoot from bags: I had the bags adjusted so that the scope was showing 1-2" high, then as I let out my last breath before shooting, I would squeeze the rear bag to lower the scope to the bullseye before firing. On the string, I think I squeezed the bag again when the rifle fired. Am I correct with my thinking?
Thanks for you input.
Have a blessed day,
Leon
