Got bored at the range today so I decided to mix it up a bit. Shot 10 rounds- 2 at each target- prone, bipod and rear bag. Targets were 200,300,400,500,575 yards. Took a cell phone video of it so I could go back and plot my hits and misses and keep track of time. I could upload if anyone’s interested and if I can figure it out (imagine that a millennial who’s not good with technology). Tried to go as fast as I could while still being under control. Hit 8 out of 10 in 2 minutes and 57 seconds (misses were one at 300 and one at 500) I think if I memorized my dope I could have shaved more time off, but it’s a new load so I didn’t get that far yet. 16*F the last few shots my finger had very little feeling left but Still connected. Wind was 7mph FV wind from 0-300. From 300-575 it was shifting from a head wind to a half value wind. So how’d Indo for a beginner?
How’d I do?

Great to see millennials getting into the sport. Don't worry if you're not tech savvy, many of the people on this forum aren't either. From your description, I can't tell if that is good or not, but I only got started in this sport a year ago. The good news is that you will not find a better source on the internet for advice on improving.
All 2moa. Working on getting some 1moa TargetsHi Jalen,
Not to bust on ya, but gotta ask...how big are the plates?! If they are 24x24, not so good...
Assuming they are smaller, it sounds like you are doing fine at putting lead on steel.

Personally I think you did great. At 16 degrees, my butt would have been setting in my recliner. 2moa or 1/2 moa if your having fun and shooting that's all that matters.
Thanks Bill
