Life altering afternoon at the range (Woo Hoo!!)

[WWWJD]

I just shot the best group of my life!! 0.5 MOA @ 200 Yards!!!

And I am totally stoked!!

Remington 700 SPS Tac .308
Factory Hogue Stock
Harris Bipod
Bushnell Elite 3200 10x40 fixed
Federal Gold Medal Match 168 gr (factory loads)

My target is the white speck to the left..

I learned about cold bore shooting; That was my first group. The following groups were about 5 minutes apart, and I was kinda all over the place. I was also trying to adjust my scope as well.. getting it really zeroed. Group 4 did pretty good (10 Shots), with the exception of some flinching and what not. The last group (#5) was a not as long waiting period.. and I had a flyer/flinch.

Between being totally shocked and almost sharting myself from that first group, and (I think) barrel heating, and just generally fumbling around.. I'm feeling pretty good about today. Now it's time for some cleaning and some UK basketball!!!

Nice shooting. It's fun when things come together like that.

I was completely floored. I forgot my spotting scope at the house, so I had to walk to the target to see where I even hit. About 25 yards from the target.. I was like.. "No freakin'.. way". Granted it was about 2-1/2" right of where I was aiming.. but, yea.. I was pumped. This might be a bad thing for me.. I forgot that I was hungry. I'm afraid that it's going to lead to forgetting about wife, kid, feeding the dog.. etc.

Now I have a fish story... cause I'd never believe it if I hadn't been there.

That's awesome.. I remember first time I bought match ammo and took my .30-06 out.. 2 groups under .75" at 100 yards.. definitely was hooked after that!
