It would not connect. So instead of the normal highly-competitive shoot that contributes to the final winner, we did a funzies shoot.  We each got one sighter, to warm up the barrel, and then ten shots, as close to the same spot as we could.  I shot really well.  You can&#8217;t see where your previous shot is, so you can&#8217;t self-correct, you just have to aim as best you can and hope.  and this was way better than I&#8217;d anticipated.  I&#8217;m so pleased I did this without a feedback mechanism.  I&#8217;m really getting better!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sectorzz9.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20250119_173534444_iOS-2-887x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37\" style=\"width:488px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every two weeks we do a high-power rifle shoot, it&#8217;s a competition, each week there&#8217;s a winner, a team-winner, and at the end of the season there&#8217;s an overall winner.
