1st Time Back at the Range in Nearly Six Months

I took Black Betty (bam-ba-lam) back out to the range for the first time since August 11th of last year. I shot standing, kneeling, and off of a bench with a so-so rubber gun rest. I shot best from the bench (d'uh), and all of the photos are of bench shots using my iron sights.

The enemy solider target is life-size. The close-ups are of AQT targets on 8-1/2 x 11 paper. They are scaled so that at 50 yards they're supposed to simulate a full-size “dog” target at 200 yards, and at 25 yards simulate 100 yards. The photos are shown in the order I shot them.
