A beautiful day for punching holes in paper from 100 feet away.
With winter finally moving out and nicer weather arriving, my step-dad invited me up to the ranch for a little shooting...
Here's the setup: A couple bales of hay to hang targets on, and some of those little rotating plates for grins. The pistol is a Buckmark UDX. It's very reminiscent of my little Ruger KMK678-GC.
This is only from 30 feet, but you can see the LDX is accurate enough to shoot into nearly the same hole when I do my part. I didn't like the fiber-optic front sight nearly as much as I thought I would. It's just so darn big, it's hard to tell exactly where you're aiming. The 5 shot group near six-o'clock shows the kind of winds we were having.
After about ten minutes of playing with the Buckmark, we backed out to 100 yards. My step-dad had a nice stand set up, and we were trying to sight in the scope on his new rifle: an octagonal barrel, lever-action Henry in .22 WMR.
The Henry's accuracy is really quite good. Those four shots would have easily fit inside the X if the scope had been correctly sighted.
This was my last group of the day. I had some much better groups than this, but also some much worse. So it's fairly representative. The center to center distance on the two farthest apart holes was exactly 1", so I'm shooting 3 MOA. Not too bad for a guy who hasn't pulled a trigger in at least two years.
