Well.....turnout was sparse. Joe was out of town, and Greg was tied up. It was just myself and my wife, Matti.
Since I have been unable to locate any AA 8.4's in the US.....we both shot pellets larger than "optimal" that had the heads sized down with a die that I made. This made the heads to the size my gun likes, but left the skirts as they were. It worked "OK"....but not great. We both had very similar x counts, and both of us had at least one pellet that was WAY outside the 10 ring.....almost an 8. Matti got lazy on her last shot and ignored the small hold off she was using for most of the card.....narrowly missing the 10 on shot 25 of card 3. She said that won't happen again.
Anyway, it was nice to shoot together. She was kind of surprised that she had fun (again).
