Walking it into the middle...

Distance: about 25 yards

1st target

I was the only one there at this time, so I went out after each shot, checked the target, and adjusted the scope.

Got it pretty much hitting in the middle:

This is with a Winchester 190 of unknown age that I bought at a pawn shop for $65. When I first got it, it jammed all the time. Finally figured out the barrel wasn't tightened down. Now, it feeds all the time.

The rest I used was a Tanker Tool Bag under the front, and my fist in the back. Clinch fist to raise the stock and lower the muzzle. Loosen fist to lower stock and raise muzzle.

I find that cold, damp weather affects how steady I can hold a rifle... :D It snowed later that day... :(

Edited:
Hmmm... I didn't realize that the targets were upside down...

Targets 1,2, and 3 were 16 shots

Looks like it shoots pretty good for a $65.00 22. Do you have a scope on it or are you shooting open sights? It's going to make a good squirrel/plinker for you.
