10 meter rifle miscellanea

 After my first 10 meter match, with just 15 minutes for 20 shots, I went back to see if I can find any good coaching videos.  In truth, natural point of aim, bone on bone.  Don't take shots that are not centered.  I know what I need to do.  Basics.  Practice and make the basics happen every time.  Easy!

First.  As info.  CMP sells some Daisy 10m rifles.  Don't laugh.  They have Walther barrels.  I gave mine away in Wisconsin.  Decisions were made.  Went to a family with boys and started getting use.  Win!   To see how they stack up to an Anschutz, check out this old post.  Exactly!  The main issue is the trigger.  My pellet/rifle comparison test was from a bench and scoped.  I could man handle the trigger/gun to ensure I broke on the dot.  There are CMP instruction on how to modify the Daisy trigger.

Pellets.  As I watched an insomnia video of the the Grand Prix 10m rifle match earlier this year,  I saw Eley on the side of a rifle.  Odd.  Then I saw an Eley box which was the same shape and size of a 22LR box.  Odd again.  Curiosity got the better of me so I Googled it.  Sure as heck, Eley now makes pellets!  And it three different diameters.  Cool stuff.  Good marketing.  Any shooter will have to buy all three for testing! 4.49mm, 4.50mm and 4.51mm.  

For those who read this far.  

My scores from Wednesday match #01 in 2022.  A tad embarrassing given the prior results.  I have NEVER shot such a low score.  I blame the short time frame.  It can't be me!  Never!! 540 seems a long way off .
