2024-9-8 200 yards with P-10F in Mountains of New Mexico

I made it out to the beautiful rifle range in Ruidoso, NM this morning.  Calm, 55-60F, sunny, no one else there the entire time.  P-10F, IMI ammo.  I already have some excuses--shoulder still sore and right eye glasses prescription too strong per eye exam last Tuesday.  Shooter still a little rusty, only got to shoot one day last week. 

This went OK, all possible excuses considered.  I shot two target sheets, 20 rounds each, for a total of 40 rounds at 200 yards for the day.  The first target was pretty much sighters, and the second target was supposed to be a "good" target, but the eye strain got to me in the very bright conditions.  I got video of the entire session, and may edit it later today or maybe tomorrow.  Eyesight was the dominant issue for me. 

I'm going to go back on Monday morning and give it another shot, so to speak.  If I struggle again with the P-10F, I may get out the P-10C with the Burris FF3 sight and try it with the Atlanta Arms ammo.  That will work if my eyes hold up. 

More on Monday.

Well, after 40 rounds on each morning from Sunday through Tuesday, I'm done for the week.  I just can't see well enough to shoot consistently smallish groups at 200 yards.  I've shot 120 rounds at 200 and I'm done.  My shoulder is still too sore and my eyesight is simply not good enough right now.  I had a few 5 shot sequences under 12", but I was hoping for 8" groups.  I'd post a video but I have a computer overheating problem that kicks me out every time I try to render a video. 

I get my new glasses on Monday and may have to go see a doctor about the shoulder injury next week as well.  I'll be shooting only with the cameras for the next few days, looks like.  Still a good trip and I got to spend three mornings at the range in essentially perfect conditions.
