Shropshire_Lad Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 I think if you shoot long enough we all have days like this with a rifle. Some days its just not going to happen and once the confidence takes a knock its all up hill! In one way its nice when you check that the rifle/scope has held its zero, your kit is spot on......so where does that leave us? we shot like a ****!! atvb Paul.
