    That's probably about right.

    Here is my pin style mounting idea I was talking about. It held up all day.

    Here's my actual three shot group at 100 yards after dialing in the scope. I know none of this is ground breaking stuff, but it's exciting to a "new" shooter.

    That looks great, and an easy way to hang steel, compared to some I have seen. It borrows from the paperclip? (or the mousetrap?)

    In reality, it looks better than it works. Turns out that thickness of steel is slightly more cumbersome to bend than a flag pin. Oh well, like I said, it held up.

    Here is my dog listening to zero commands.



    Steel plate doesn't really like taking a 175 gr pill right on the corner.

    Safety Pin, it reminds me of a safety pin. The rigidity and the toughness of the steel plate are due to the welded on circles. The ease of mounting is due to the safety pin design.

    The bent corner, is a lucky shot, probably due to Dog.

    A safety pin is what popped into my head when I thought of the idea.

    Should still put meat in freezer even at 300yds.
