Range Report (The Tunnel Edition)
First off, pictures will be posted above.
We took out all four rifles on Tuesday afternoon (being the Old Man's primary and backup and my primary and backup). The only purpose of this trip was to shoot in the 100 yard tunnel and bring in the no-wind zeros on all rifles involved.
It was a bit weird, in that all rifles have a 400 yard zero, elevation-wise, (that is the minimum range at Boomershoot), so at 100 yard we were having to aim low and still shooting above the bullseye. In any case, it's not about nailing a group in the center of the target, it's about getting your wind zeroed so you can accurately call shots.
All in all, it took about an hour and after that we shot .22 pistols. Not a bad day.
