have time to clean the rifle
after I got thru shooting the
different ranges and as a result
during the last twenty shots it
kicked like a mule. I didn't
shoot as good as I should of but
I qualified on all the ranges which
was all I cared about. The only
range I fell down on I forgot
to set my windage over. The
sights are arranged so if there is a
wind blowing you can set them
to off-set the wind. I went

there was quite a wind, and as a
result I missed the whole target
once. I only shot fifteen out of
a possible twenty-five. During
my said practising [practicing] I changed my
windage and shot twenty which
is considered good shooting for
three hundred yards
