Shooting an egg at 300 yards with a .22

Went to my first Silo shoot today @ AGC. Very nice people who were welcoming, easy going, eager to help me learn & several even let me try on a few different rifles. I had fun. Managed to hit a few targets on each of the four relays too (yes there were giggles) Funny how them bitty chicks were the most trouble being the closest & I scored the fewest points on those. I think having a rifle that's more ergonomicly correct for me would go a long way but in the interim & until I have more context & can practice, I'll make do. Still sorting my form obviously & tried something a little different on each relay to see if there was something more comfortable & stable...but for my first time I'm not unhappy with my experience or score. Think I preferred the heavier rifle over the lightest but idk. Thank you Wolfshoon for the invitation, introduction & use of your gear today!

Looking forward to trying another match later this month.


*few of you here might get this reference but this could be an opportunity/reason for me to finally own a 'pistachio' - Ha!

The heavier rifle tends to be more stable and the weight doesn't matter much if you're taking a stance where you're using your bone structure for support instead of trying to muscle it. When I was shooting in high school, the top shooters invariably gravitated to the heaviesr rifles.
