Reality Check of my shooting skills for hunting

Many shooters -hunters, me included going to the gun range and testing their equipment and or practice. Most of the time a given distance (50m/100m), a table, chair and a rest will be used. While this is still something i recommend, it does little to learn and buildup confidence for field conditions. I hope my pictured target will shed some insight…. I was shooting a 22lr rifle (using it for small game) at 35m (38 yards),50m (54 yards),60m (65yards) and 75m (82yards) 3 rounds at each distance with a 50m(54yards) zero. The left “column” shows this sitting on a bench with bipod and rear rest. The middle kneeling and the right one standing resting the rifle on a Shooting Stick. What did i learn? Shooting from the bench i was very confident i can hit all my targets to 75 m ( 82 yards) and surely far beyond that, in “ a real life situation” i can take a realistic shot up to 60m(65 yards) kneeling and 50m( 54 yards) standing with a stick for rest. I need to remember not to overshoot my target around 35m and due to bullet drop and using a hunting style scope my limit lays at 60m under good conditions.
