artillery shooting

Well, I took my mismatched artillery out a couple of days ago and did some informal shooting at the local "range" (loose term) on the forest land nearby.

The sun was in my eyes due to the situation of the shooting lanes and reflected badly off the front sight of the pistol. And though I was using a stock, I'm so weak and shaky due to my bad health that a steady hold was hard to manage. The Win. White Box didn't seem to shoot to POA at 50 yards, but that could have been my fault. I did try one round at a 100 yards, smacking a 6" diameter rock just fine by applying some "Kentucky elevation." I didn't bother trying to adjust the rear sight for one round.

I'm hoping to locate a place where I can shoot out to 200 yards or so to try later. I need to use a solid rest and really try to bear down.

I sure love artilleries in terms of potential and for fun shooting. If I were able to hunt I might try to endanger some jackrabbits.
