So packed up my SGC, 100 rounds of Rem 40gr Golden Bullet HV, 40gr PLRN, and a couple of different-sized apertures. One thing I decided to do was not use my Spee-D-Loader and I slot-loaded the bullets into the magazine one-at-a-time. That was relaxing!
The Frontier Justice indoor range is max 25 yards. I shot off hand, standing, at 15, 20, 25-yard distances. All my POIs were pretty decent and I was not having the usual eye strain I've experienced at times. I think that may be because I changed out my apertures a couple of times, and settled on the standard, larger .096 size, and put away the .070 aperture. Found this to be a good choice. Often my elder eyes start heading south (eye strain/fatigue) at around 65 or so shots. Never even felt this yesterday, and kept on going. POIs continued to land where I wanted to go with them.
Last 10 rounds (90-100), I shot at a 1" orange bull on a 10" square piece of cardboard. Whenever I change apertures and work with the Skinner peep sight, I like to check the accuracy of my sights just in case I've loosened that peep at all. Plus "dialing in" a Skinner ghost ring peep is not the tightest sighting system out there. I have worked that peep sight before and unintentionally loosened and turned it.
Brought my target in to a short 10 yards and gazed at the 1" bull. With ease and comfort, I shot about my best ever short-distance, 10-round group with my SGC. Placed 10 POIs with largest gap from dead on bull at 1-1/2" (marked on target photo). Finished with 5/10 in the 1" orange -- yes, there are five there, with two rounds "doubled up" at right side. The SGC peep held tight, the Henry rifle is as accurate as ever, and my elder eyes worked!
The "no-plan" range visit was much fun, and had a good ending to it. Already ready for next time out!
