Fun isn't it? For your first time out with it and placing that high, good job.
You have plenty of magnification. I find myself dialing back off my 24x a lot lately. Shot several stages of the last Sporting Rifle Match at 12x. One stage they (rest of the shooters) had been calling a 4" target out of action because it spun on it's strap and was leaning at about 60* towards the shooter. I opted to take it rather than a double at the next smallest target. Nice solid hit and almost corrected it. Lowly little Grendel gas gun.
I have no illusions of placing in the 50s (60 being perfect) until I get some formal training. I want to eventually break the mid 40s, then will bring a different gun. Might start playing around and shoot the whole match support side, all on tripod, give a try with sling only (no bipod)..., little things to get more experience to round out my skill set.
