[QUOTE="Ridgerunner665, post: 972020, member: 12660"] Good write up...I enjoyed it... Your butterfly experience reminded me of something that happened to me this past weekend at the range...I was there sighting in the new rifle I bought my wife (Winchester Featherweight Deluxe in 270)...After I sighted it in at 100 and fired a few good groups there, I moved the target out to 200 yards...1st shot, everything went well, shot broke clean and felt good...the 2nd shot was a little more complicated, while I was squeezing the trigger, a guy next to me fired his 45-110 blackpowder rifle and I swear I believe it measured about 4.3 on the Richter scale...wasn't prepared for a "boom" of those proportions, lol...spooked me a little, and broke the shot in the process (way left)...the 3rd shot went just like the first one...broke clean and felt good. 2 groups on this target....upper 3 rounds are at 100 yards...lower 3 are at 200...might have been a real nice 200 yard group if not for the "booboo"! Brand new rifle...barrel still settling in, but steadily improving...out of ammo, I adjusted the scope 1 click left and called it good.
