dude at range: “wow, you’re not bad with that .22 pistol”
me: thanks!
dude at range: “you know, you could actually shoot someone’s eye out.”

the ruger 10/22 did well, but since i forgot to bring a screwdriver, i couldn’t sight it in. i took off the red dot and shot with the factory iron sights for the rest of the day. it was shooting a bit high, which is expected since the range is only 25 yards. the grouping was pretty tight, so the rifle works well. i just need to get a few extra mags – one 10 shot is not nearly enough.
