Tried it with my not ready for the range eye

Still a few weeks away from some corrected lenses but it was a nice day and I could see well enough to know which way was down range.

Used an M1 Garand. Springfield made in October of 1943. Danish rebarrel. Just aimed for the middle blur. Used surplus Korean Ammo. Scored an amazing, all things considered, 108. :D
