Spent Thanksgiving with Dad in Virginia, and we squeezed in some trigger time (of course). As always, it was a blast!
I brought the 308 Remington 700, and my AR-15 this time. I'm finally getting comfortable with the recoil of the 308, and my shooting is showing it. These are my first two rounds of the day at 30 yards...the first shot was aimed dead center on the target and impacted low (as expected with the scope height above the barrel, and the close distance), and the 2nd shot, i aimed 1.25" high to compensate for the bullet trajectory...the picture says it all....
This weekend we focused on our offhand shooting....my brother in law was there, and he showed us up pretty good...he's been a life long hunter, and it showed in his off hand ability. The shots above were not off hand....just for the record! After an hour screwing around, we were able to hit beer cans consistently at 30 yards off hand...not bad...a little more time and I'm sure we can do the same at 50 yards+.
308 vs beer can full of water....total carnage! The cans literally explode on impact....much more dramatic than the 22lr or 17hmr!
Looking forward to some more off hand practice...I can't let my brother in law show me up like that again! Ha ha ha!
