I also had a few shots off the bench at a 50 yd pistol target and shot a 4 shot group that is 10 ring. My off hand target as shown is not all that impressive, other than it totals at 26 points, the shot to the bull not to count as I found I had shot 21 instead of 20 rounds, still all bit the paper and only 1 keyhole !!
