In all fairness it was a light boy's rifle that was shooting .22 long. I doubt I could've done as much unsupported shooting with an SMLE trainer.
You would be surprised, they're easy to manage and give a nice solid hold because of the weight.In all fairness it was a light boy's rifle that was shooting .22 long. I doubt I could've done as much unsupported shooting with an SMLE trainer.
Come out for an Appleseed Shoot. 25m rimfire events are a lot of fun. Prone, seated and standing are taught with a sling. Timed AQT targets with a magazine change can be quite humbling.
Are you a lefty?I went down to a shooting club in Suffolk county Virginia and shot two matches at steel targets. I had a blast shooting standing unsupported. Its a safe bet that I didn't win any matches today. The rifle was the new CZ American 457 left handed bolt action with a 2.5 to 7 power Leupold scope. Its fun.
Chilipepper I am a lefty and shoot a left handed CZ 457 American 22LR bolt action. My piddly @ss little scope 7 power isn't cutting it. I will go to a higher power. Spoke to a guy on the same range who is shooting a 24 power scope. He says it works for him and that he can hold a target at 24 power. I am not there yet.Are you a lefty?
When I learned to shoot 22lr in my Rifle Class in College, I learned that I was left eye dominant, so I switched to shoot lefty.
I am ambi at most things, so I had no struggle to pull a trigger lefty.
Well, to quote the fishing people. " A bad day fishing, beats a good day at work..."Chilipepper I am a lefty and shoot a left handed CZ 457 American 22LR bolt action.

What kind of targets are you shooting at? Paper or Metal or both?Perseverance is key I suppose.
I shot two strings of 40 22 rimfire standing unsupported. This time the targets were smaller like they are supposed to be. I am making inroads in this discipline. My groups tend to open up at 100 yards but hey Rome wasn't built in a day. A good time all around.
Steel targets and they get mighty small. I hit one and spun it 360 but it didn't fall and I couldn't count the hit. There are two sets of sizes. The larger for plinking and the smaller for scoring.What kind of targets are you shooting at? Paper or Metal or both?
