17HMR Lunch Break

I managed to hit the range for lunch today, and put 30 rounds of 17HMR down range.  Definately a good way to clear your mind, and remind yourself that more practice is definately in order.  I really need to work on my breathing, and patience.

I was shooting with a light 3 o'clock wind at 100 yards using a bolt action Savage 93R17 - 17HMR topped with a Nikon ProStaff 3-9x scope set at 9x.

This was my first 20 rounds, with my best two '5 shot' groups highlighted (there were some slight 1-2 click adjustments in windage on the scope between groups)...

And my final 10 rounds (with 1 click up added to the scope before shooting), with each 5 shot group marked...

I must get more practice....I'd like to be shooting tighter groups than this.  But overall a rewarding break from life.
