| I think shootaway did fine for shooting offhand. Wrong target for 100 yards. Go to targetz.com and go to page 7 and print off some of the big black circle targets. I assume you are using iron sights.
I shoot all of my military surplus rifles offhand. I think it builds confidence. If have a rest in the field and know how to use it, fine. There are going to be some shots where a rest is not going to be available in time to make the shot. I don't see anything wrong with practicing at 100 yards offhand. |

| Here is a target I shot today with the same rifle used to shoot the first target posted on this thread.This is my older Ruger and it has not been cleaned for quite some time. I have run out of JB and waiting for my order.I believe this is the reason the group or the point of impact was lower.I am going to give it a cleaning and it should go back to shooting a little higher.BTW,tt looks like I will be hunting lioness in 2012.I now have to get real good with my lott and open sights.[URL=  ]100yds[/URL] |

Thanks 390.I've used the black circle before and will do so again once everything is in order. |

| Shootaway,
Personally, I would not use JB's for routine cleaning. It will wear your bore out if used routinely.

465,have you experienced more wear when you've used it than when you did not? |

| It is very abrasive and if you read the directions it says to only use it to polish a new barrel or smooth an action.

| Shootaway-do you own a spotting scope? Do you know how to uses one? If not buy one are read or have someone read the directions to you. -Ron
