Overall this attempt was much better than last time. I shot the same 22 silhouette competition as before. This time I shot both iron sights and scoped at 58 and 100 yards respectively. Both rifles were my pair of Marlin 60s, one with aftermarket peep sights and the other with a scope. I also tried the iron sight section with my Henry lever action but the sights are still a work in progress. Is hot a 63% on the scoped part but only a 5/30 on the iron sights. I took a couple zero shots and saw the wron holes in the target so I moved the opposite way I needed to center the group. On the other hand my group was considerably smaller than last time I tried this. I’ll probably do it again next month but I need to spend a lot more time with the iron sighted rifle. I don’t think it’s accurate enough that I’ll ever win, but I’m just looking for improvement. I did go 1 for 2 on the penny target at 100 yards and I also found out my rifle matches Nikons BDC drop reticle really closely. I shot the first round of 25 shots in the scope competition using the Nikon Spot On app predictions for drop with a 50 yard zero.

The rifle range used for this competition has been closed for construction for a couple months. I just saw it has reopened so I’ll likely try again in June. I finally have the iron sights on my Henry set so I may use that.

Chris,
Awesome! You didn't necessarily mention if you had fun! Did you? It sounds like it would be super fun!

It’s pretty entertaining. The last one was interesting. I was first and last since I was the only one.
