I’m loading more ammo right now. I’ll head back out with it Wednesday and hopefully tighten the groups up.

Nothing exciting, just moving bullets from the Patio to the #2 safe top in the garage.
Getting ready for a home inspection by homeowners insurance carrier, after 25yrs.
Who has every had one of those.

I had an outside inspection done by a third party hired from the local Special Opportunity center. They sent me a letter with that said they wanted me to paint a piece of trim to keep it from rotting (after an act of Congress I got a copy of the photos from my agent and what the picture showed was pressure-treated lumber), and cut some trees back from the roof (not gonna happen, need them for shade, and NOBODY else around here with big oaks shading their house is doing it either), some other things I can't recall, and to fix it and send a copy of the repairman's bill and pictures before the renewal date. I called my agent with a WTH and she assured me it was only "recommendations", not an ultimatum for renewal. Good. Funny thing is the second story balcony is rotting and threatening to fall on someone calling in/out of the front door, the underpinning is off on one whole side, the grass against the house was two feet tall, there's no corner trim on three outside corners, and no window trim on about 1/4 of the windows. Not worried about that stuff (rot, grass fire, water intrusion, rodent intrusion, and the obvious Chicken Little scenario out front). I don't know who trains these people or comes up with their list of things to "inspect", but my experience was they can be dumb.

The quarter is safe from you but I'd say a deer is definitely NOT! Good revolvering there.

That will do.
Keep working on the shooting part and the groups will get smaller. Not that there is anything wrong with that right there. I would hunt with that.

I need Rick to come give me lessons. I’m not sure what’s causing my wild shots.

What’s really strange is I actually shoot better at 75 than 25 due to having a smaller aiming point.

One thing I did do that’s helped me a lot is load 3 live rounds and 3 empty pieces of brass mixed up.
Spin the cylinder and don’t look. It will definitely show you if your flinching.

I learned a loong time ago, that if I start flinching. I stop shooting whatever and switch to the .22LR I always carry in my Range Bag.

Patience and breathing and a gentle squeeze.

"Aim small, miss small". I can roll a gallon jug all over the 100-yard berm with a 1911 but struggle to hit it evey time at 25. Go figure.

It's the opposite for me, I can hit it out to maybe 40-50 yrds and then start wasting powder & lead.
