Offhand with double rifles

Reading @Mark A Ouellette post above. Once again he is being conservative or modest.

You would not want to stand on the 100 yard line hoping he missed you with his double.

His quoted groups are an average not his best group.

No sir you would not Mark is a double distinguished shooter. A benchmark very few shooters achive.

Timed practise is fun and useful with these close range rifles. The second shot may take longer than we think... or shouldering in the first place. Half a second is a long time for an animal to move.

I do practise standing with open sights up to 75 m where my Merkel furthest blade is. I shoot 10" plates. Or claybirds on the berm.

Scope is mostly for load development but because there is the QD mount option,I do use the scope every now and then. Seems to hold zero just fine. I may use the scope in some moose hunt situations. 1" tubes are hard to find,that's why mine is a cheap Leupold. 30 mm are just too bulky.

75 m plate hits from today. I practise a few times every week.

That is some truly empressive shooting! What brand are those blue bullets?
