Then I changed up the routine I'd been doing and removed the masking tape sun visor and took shot #3. I doubt that caused me to miss a wee bit but I am still extremely happy.

And yes, I am shooting low because I have my elevator sight on the 50 yard yard as I use 12 O'clock hold and when the shots keep hitting the orange, it makes aiming difficult after a while.
Overall, a very pleasing day despite the 90* weather.
The bottom 3 patches were from 100 yards and when I scooted back to 150, I was able to recover one out of 2 patches. My first shot was a dry ball and so I had to remove the nipple and add a little powder to unload it. After shot the next shot hit 9 o'clock on the bulls eye. That really brought a smile to my face!
