Well early Fathers Day to you...very nice stick. Please show us some targets so we can see if she shoots as good as she looks!

Got up before daylight this AM to confirm a NWZ when enough light for shooting arrived I was already set up. My previous group which was shot day previous was somewhat left of center about 8" and I wanted to reset my windage knob. I took 1/2 MOA right and fired these 5 rounds from 1000 yards. Load is 32.4 grains Varget using the Berger 105 gr. Hybrid Target bullet with CCI450 primers. MV is working at around 2845 fps with 29.0 MOA required at 1000 yards. Very seldom do I have days like this where there is basically no appreciable wind and it's been nice! Normally I'm fighting a strong fishtail wind out of the south!

I've bought some nice stuff for my dad, but never that expensive.

I was raised in a Society where retirement homes are only for those who are in very bad shape and require help 24/7.
And it's the responsibility of the Children to take care of their parents when they're older.
