Hey everyone, I took her to the range yesterday to give it a shot at zeroing and doing some groups. I'm shooting Federal Gold MatchKing 168gr.
Is there anything to be learned from these? I feel like the rifle isn't broken or anything which is always a concern when you buy something used. Any feedback would be great!
I tried to mark the order of shots. Number 3 was from me being an absolute dumbass and moving windage right instead of left
My big question of the day is, I've been reading a lot about how follow through and keeping your sight on the target is important, but it seemed like every shot would throw my sights way off and it'd take me a bit to find the target again. Is it realistic or unrealistic to keep your scope on the target when using higher magnification, and what technique lends to that? For example, with a handgun I can get better recoil control if grip my control hand in different ways (more pressure, different direction of pressure, etc), but everything I've read about shooting precision rifle has been to just relax.
