I need some tips. I have a Ruger 10-22 Sporter Deluxe. I'm new and I've been shooting indoors since June 2012. Our range goes to 75ft (25 yards)
I've gotten good at 30ft and was told not to keep shooting what's easy.
Make it a challenge. I pushed the paper out to 50ft and can hardly see the center of the target. ( I'm 51 just in case your wondering) I got a scope and I can see the center now with no problem. Now I can't seem to keep the rifle still enough to get any type of consistency. The circles are 1/2 inch. I've tried a Hasty Sling. But not much better.
I've tried sitting and shooting off of my Range Bag. It's ruff. Scope is centered. I'm using CCI mini mags. Any tips to get the rifle steady would be appreciated. Thanks
