Some outdoor A/P practise

Shot a 40-shot outdoor session of 10m air pistol. The cards were lower scoring than expected; my excuses are rapidly changing light levels, distracting background, and a variable cross wind!

End of the Kent County KCSSA summer season

On a reasonably warm range, with no pressures of Range Officer duty to contend with, managed to shot the final two rounds of the black powder summer season league.

For round 9 I shot an impressive [for me!] 89.1 Managed to get three shots key-holing in the 9-ring at 6 o/c, with all 13 shots in the black, and 12 of those shots inside the 8-ring.

Round 9

Slightly tired, I then shot round 10 straight afterwards. Shot an 85.0 that was spoilt by a flyer out in the white at 4 o/c. Nice close 4 shot grouping in the 9 and 10-ring at 6 o/c. 

I need to raise up the rearsight slightly to raise up the shot holes.
