What did you do at the range today?

Shot my tikka 6.5 in an old gravel pit out to 500yds, mostly shooting rocks and a smaller gong I brought out. Also shot the 22 a bit. Scythe is holding. Together still with another 120 rounds through it today.

I sort of want that jellyfish rear bag, does anybody have it? How does it compare to the LS Wild 2.5?

I prefer LS Wild's 2.5 because it can be made in waxed canvas, which I prefer.

I have a 2.5 already, not a waxed one but I’ve been using it for a few years. I like it a lot, just trying to figure out if a jellyfish is an upgrade at all.

If you already have a similar lightly-filled bag that works well for you, I don’t know that any other bag is a worthwhile upgrade. But it’s your money.

I have a Jellyfish and a Midway one that is more stuffed. Each has its uses in different situations. I personally can see the virtue in having two different bags more than two similar ones.

It's raining today and we are packing to leave shortly. We had 3 rounds of practice ammo left so we used them up. First shot was a center hit at 225, then she dialed to 395 and sent the last two practice rounds. Seated, off trek poles and arrows.

A-huntin' we go.

Yesterday was a good day. Checked zero and then did grouping drills from the bench at 100 and 200 yards. Did a stress shoot from 200-25yds as well. Finished up with alternate firing position practice at 100-300yds.

I had an abbreviated, but very fun, session at the range today. I took both Tikkas over to the 200- and 300-yard range to check my adjustments. My adjustments were calculated using Shooter and the closest bullet I could find.

The deer on the range barely reacted each time I shot, which probably speaks more to their familiarity with living on the rifle range than the virtues of suppression. But it was funny how they never once looked my way, but started every time the bullets went past them.

The 200-yard line wasn’t great this morning. I think the 1” dot was just a bit too small to be a consistent aiming point on 6x.

The .223 is normally a .9-1.2” 10-shot group at 100-yards.

The 6.5 CM consistently produces 1.3-1.5” 10-shot groups at 100 yards.

The 300-yard line went quite a bit better. I could see that aiming point better. I didn’t observe any wind this morning.

Now I just need to put this on the dope card.

I wanted to shoot steel from field positions for a bit, but I had to hurry off to couple of medical appointments.
