I'm new to this target shooting and would like to be competitive someday...Got my MKII 512 target a month ago. Some advice that I had received a while back was to get to where I could hold the 5.5 ring at 75ft., at which point I'd be good enough for a trigger modification. I hold the 5.5 at 75ft about 60% of time.
Is that reasonable? I've gone through about 800 rnds now and its hard to say I've improved. I'd say I could consistantly hit a dime at 10 and 15ft....at 20ft about a 1.5in group....at 30ft I start having trouble keeping it inside 3in....consistantly.
With a 2x scope my groups were inside 3in at 75ft. Just sold it..
What should I expect from myself as a fairly novice shooter?
Should I go ahead and upgrade my trigger now?
Are there better iron sights than the standard target sights that come on it? (that I can see better?)
Any tips or advise for that matter would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Chad
