Up from low ready and rolling through a shot when my sight picture seemed good enough. First shot hit within the 6" central flat. Second live shot showed nothing on target so I walked to the target to see why it didn't appear on the backer despite my sights and trigger press feeling good. It had hit and turned the first hole in \to a teeny figure 8. Back out to 15 for more ball and dummy. The next live shot also looked like a miss from the line but had turned the group into a cloverleaf. I packed up and went home to change for the event because I knew better than to blow a good thing by pushing my luck.
