[NY.SS-Bar9]

Got to the range this weekend to practice before shooting the match.

Learned the follwing

• I haven't shot competitive rifle for so long, I forgot how to use a sling. (Thankfully, I brought my Brother, the ex Army armorer along)
• South African surplus ammo shoots really well out of my AR. I had been shooting XM193 and getting 2" groups at 100 yds. this stuff was well under 1"
• A .22 LR will drop over 12" from 50 to 100 yds.
• I can shoot offhand and kneeling but not prone???
• I've got a long way to go to get to Master

Use of the rifle sling. I thought that the information was outdated but I studied the steps and that is the correct way to use a leather sling. The leather loop keeper is between the arm and the hook. That way the leather doesn't slip on the arm. On the cotton sling like I said, it's disassembled until the clamp is on the arm and the buckle adjusts.

A .22 LR will drop over 12" from 50 to 100 yds

Glad you confirmed that, I thought maybe I was in some weird downdraft...

I went to the range also...but with the intention of shooting the match...Ha ! Was I ever over confident.

I wasn't real impressed with the results I was obtaining with my Krag carbine...I'm sure it's the user...I'm getting about a 10" group at 100...humbling in the least. I'll give it another shot though. It's really a unique firearm and up until Saturday I had put only 1 round through it the whole time I've owned it.

I was happy with the results from the 10/22 and had a similar come up when going to 100.
