9:50 am - Win94ae, 300 Yards, Off the Fence 3
|
YouTube: Win94ae, 300 Yards, Off the Fence 3
Took yet another shot at 300 yards with the Win94ae at the 8 inch target.
The fence is a bit tricky but I pretty sure that was my fault. The last two shots missed by just as much, one low the other low left and now high. I just have to concentrate on the shot more.
Off the log is easy but i can't see that target off the log, I need to shoot off the bench, off the fence, a sitting position, or offhand; off the fence is the most stable field position.

11:55 am - Win94ae, 300 Yards, Off the Fence 2
|
Took another shot at 300 yards with the Win94ae at the 8 inch target. I was as low as I was yesterday so I adjusted the sight 4 clicks up.
I adjusted the exposure on the camera so the sun's reflection off of the bullet would be a bit more noticeable; it is very noticeable now... but I forgot to set the brightness back to normal.
current mood:  chipper

9:24 am - Win94ae, 300 Yards, Off the Fence
|
Shooting the Winchester model 94 Angle Eject at an 8 inch target off the fence at 300 yards.
This is another time when you can see the sun reflecting off the base of the bullet.
I just missed the target, I'll get it next time.

9:44 am - Win94ae 30-30, See The Bullet
|
Shooting the Winchester 30-30 at an 8 inch target 250 yards downrange.
I made a new target stand as to make it easier to tell if there is a hit on the smaller targets. It works pretty good.
You can see the bullet traveling to the target since the sun is reflecting off the base of it. I made the video HD in order to better see it on YouTube.
Never load cartridges with pointy bullets in tube magazines.

5:16 pm - Scope Trouble
|
When my shot went errant, I tried to find out why with some shots at 100 then 300 yards. When I figured it was the scope at fault I removed it and mounted my Williams FP peep, then took 2 shots at 350 yards, using the scope to record video through.

9:57 am - Winchester Lever Action

Shooting the Win94ae at a 4 inch target 350 yards downrange... I missed it by an inch.
It was hard to focus the binocular on that target, I am going to try something else... maybe.

9:37 am - Need New 30-06 Load
|
I'm not sure if I missed or if I got confused with the clean bore deviation. The height was perfect, but the windage was 3.5 inches wrong.
I am going to leave the settings as they are, and take another shot at that distance to see if it was me. If it isn't me then I'll redevelop these components with a bit less powder.

9:06 am - Springfield 03
|
Shooting the Springfield 03, at a water filled gallon jug, at 250 yards. One shot, one kill.
This rifle, sight, and load are absolutely reliable; my video editor, not so much... it is going to expire in 5 days.
I wish they would tell you right off the bat that it is a trial version, that way I know to either not bother with their software, or to download it when I have the funds to buy it at the reduced price. I am not going to buy it now that I can't get the value price.
Olympus should have provided functional software to edit their video format.

1:20 pm - 250 Yard 30-06 Shot
|
One shot, one kill!
That is what my problem was, the fouled bore shot is different than the clean bore, and it just took a few shots to settle down... I should try to tweek the load a bit.
The splash is too cool!

5:37 pm - 30-06 Gallon Jug
|
Shooting a gallon jug of water with a Howa 1500 30-06 at 250 yards.
I had missed a quart paint can by less than an inch yesterday on the first shot, so I adjusted the scope and gave it another go today. I didn't miss but I am still high left.

3:26 pm - 30-06 Paint Can
|
Shooting a quart metal paint can at 250 yards with the Howa 1500 30-06.
I had only shot this rifle, with this load at 300, 350, and 200, (200 during load development;) and not that many shots either. So the scope seems to have been adjusted a bit left... and I'm a bit high at this distance.
I still an a bit out of focus at this range, there is no manual adjustment so the camera focuses on what it wants to. I think there may be a smudge on the camera or binocular lens.

11:00 am - Winchester 30-30
|
Shooting the Winchester 94ae 30-30 at 350 yards. Another one shot one kill.
It is a bit dark because I was trying to get a photo of the moon with this camera. It was too bright for the camera to get a good picture.

3:50 pm - Win94ae, 400 Yard Sight Adjustment
|
Taking 2 shots at 400 yards with the Win94ae; I hit the 8 inch target on the second shot.... after a scope adjustment.
The last 3 shots taken at 350 and 400 yards, (minus the hit today,) made about a 2.25 inch group.
I saved this file as a flv file because the other format that makes it HD screwed-up the video badly! It could be the video viewer I'm using?

6:02 pm - Win94ae at 400 Yards
|
This is a good shot; that's a "one shot, one kill."
I like the way you can see the sun shining off of the base of the bullet.I'm going to have to take a few more morning shots; makes for good video.
The cat decided to join the dog and I today.
...
I messed-up the video, there is a fade error right before the shot. I'll need to keep my eye on that new video editing program.

8:01 pm - Win94ae at 350 Yards
|
This is an adjustment after I did the scope break-in that I read about. It did hit at the correct height.
I would also like to note that the scope adjustments is more on the lines of 3/8moa per click, I'll still describe the adjustments as if they are 1/4moa per click.

3:58 am - Dangerous Firearms Handling
|
Which is more dangerous, and why?
The first clip is dropping between joists rolling when I hit the ground then coming up to a kneeling position and shooting the Davis D-22 22lr derringer at an 8x12 inch target at 30 yards.
The second clip is quick drawing the H&R 22lr revolver and shooting a 18 inch target at 25 yards as fast as I can, then holstering the pistol gunslinger style.
Judging from the comments I get on specific posts, you're not going to be correct.
