Early onset Parkinson's ?

[SideShow Bob]

Took the day off today and went up to Blu Core to sight in some iron sights and dial in a new scope.
irons went well at a 50 yard sight in, but once the scope was on and the target was out to 100 yards I could not for the life of me keep the reticle from jittering all over a 6" dial in target.
When I was younger, dialing in a scope at 100 yards was easy peesy. i am sure that the right handed only benches had a little to do with steadying the reticle but when I tried seeing my hits with a hand held spotting scope, you would have thought I had put a whole roll of quarters in a Vibra-Master on a cheap motel bed.
I could keep all shots within the 6" target, but there was no grouping to speak of, and I only got 5 shots out of twenty to resemble a grouping with no adjustments throughout the session.
I was using the bags there to rest the handguards on to steady the front of the rifle, but as mentioned, due to the righty only bench, I could not steady the stock on any thing but my left shoulder.
Guess I will have to try again somewhere else where I can go prone with bags to be sure if it is not me.

I should have made this a rant or at least a "Dear Diary" post.

You aren't getting any younger for sure, Bob.

Shot a friends .308 a week ago out to 300 yards. I was all over that target & couldn't get steady to save my life, even with a bipod & a bag.

Then I got to shoot another friends .338 Lapua at the same 300 yard target. Thing was heavy as shit, but that weight stabilized the barrel/scope and I was shooting right where I aimed.

Both rifles had exceptional glass, but I couldn't do squat with the lighter rifle. Maybe we're both getting old.

It just hit you. Your old .mil jacket is never more.

Blucore's benches can switch to a left handed shooter!!!!!!! Just ask and they will swap it for you. !

Ask at the desk next time, all of their rifle lane benches can be flipped over to turn into lefty benches.

If it makes you feel better, I woke up this morning and immediately felt like I needed to take a nap.
