I must have miss calculated when I came down with my scope setting because the first shot went under the target. So I came up and I guess I've got a ways to go on this scope, any scope really, the next one was at the top of the cardboard. That like 30 inches! So I shot the next one to the same place (very close to it). Since I only had 3 of each loaded I now had to decide if I just skip that load and move to the next or go back to the house and load one more and shoot it hoping it hits the target. Well, I just had to know! I loaded one more. The darn thing went in the same place! So 3 shots in 2 7/8 inch. That's the best yet.

Next up.

So I came down for the next load. Too far again, now I at the bottom of the paper! Good enough! Those 3 then went into 4 3/8 inches.
