open a photobucket account (http://www.photobucket.com) free

Upload the pictures (you hit upload and then select them from a "browse" function)

Resise to 'message board size, you do this by hitting the resize button!

highlight the Img link and it copies the photo. Paste it into your post.

And congratulations on your shooting

Good for you. Plus your per shot cost may be a bit lower, and maybe you can shoot more. The sport will grow, times will change for the better in terms of acceptance of the Shooter's responsibility. pogy

G'Day Damien,
Awesome mate well done!

From a BR point of view, when you get 4/5 shots going effectively into the same hole, you KNOW its not the load or the rifle, just the way the gun is handled or wind conditions on the day. Either way you're shooting style is very consistent and that's exactly what us target shooters are trying to achieve.

Just looking at those groups you can see groups within the main group, this is just wind variation shot to shot. And the top photo shows, imho, the lost shot out the top may also be due to the conditions you were shooting in too.

Either way, it shows exactly what a well tuned rifle and load can achieve (and a shooter who practices regularly!).

Cheerio Ned
