Shooting 2nd time ever shooting, 1st time with a 22Ir, how'd I do?
Went down to the BRRC open house range day event and got to shoot the TM22 .22 lr, the RSO seemed pretty impressed but I can't tell if this is actually good or if he's just trying to recruit me lol. He did mention that the sights were not zeroed in, so maybe that’s why it’s a bit high? 10 rounds for reference

Second time? You did just fine. Focus on your trigger pull, your flinch, and your breathing. You'll be shooting dime size is no time. Lots of really good YouTube videos you can watch while at the range to dial it all in. Great work and keep hitting the range.

Rifle, was probably minimum 25yd per club rules. Pistol would have been 10yd.

you probably want to try this again with a few other brands of 22lr ammo. i had to try a few different brands with my savage 64 to find one that shoots accurately.

Good group for first timer. Keep shooting, first time i shot trap, i was only able to shoot 5 out of 25, now i can easily hit around 20-22

My groupings look like pimples on a face so yours are fine by that standard

A little time on your trigger pull (causes right high) you'll be nailing them in on the bull.

Looks good for a new shooter, but you'll get even better with more practice. You've got the basics down, now it's time to work on your technique.

Your group fits under a thumb I'd say that's very good. Was this done off hand ? (Standing unsupported) if so in my opinion really damn good👍

Nice shooting Tex. I'd try shooting supported or off a bench to determine roughly how precise the combination of ammo, gun, and sights can be. That way you have something to compare shooting off-hand with. It also helps with building a good zero too. What ammo and sights are you using btw?

It was open range day at a nearby club so I stopped by, still waiting for my pal to come in 😭

Glad to see new shooters entering the sport. I suggest experimenting when you get your first rifle to find out what feels good. I'd say to practice dry-firing (an unloaded gun far away from ammo) in different stances and observing what the sights do so that you can refine your technique and trigger control. Doing it can damage rimfire guns so you may need some dummy round to practice with. In live fire, you can corelate your hits with something you changed with your technique to see what works best for you. You probably only want to change one thing at a time though to establish cause and effect easier. Just some thoughts I remember when I was practicing for IPSC PCC. I'd experiment by changing one thing and seeing how the red dot moves to find out what works for me.

For 25 yards it’s meh, this is a 100 yard grouping of 20 shots per target with the tm 22 with cci standard velocity.

25 yards off hand? Nothing wrong with that group.
