F-Class for Springers TX @ 50

[Mycapt65]

Nice! Sure is nice to be able to shoot at home.

I wish that was mine. It's a friend's 275+ acre cattle farm in upstate NY. I have yet to figure out proper shooting lanes on my new property in Arkansas. It's very hilly and wooded. The longest I've been able to shoot from my deck there is 50 yards. Plenty for air guns and ok for rimfire. Too short for center fire. My power line clearing is good from about 200 to 400 yards. That's good for centerfire but I need a something between 50 and 200.

I'll be 63 in early June. It is a rougher than it used to be endeavor to shoot prone. I save it mostly for rimfire.

I was back at 50-yards again this morning. I will post cards when I get settled. The last card is shown here.

I downloaded copies of the target. I want to try it when I get back to Arkansas. How do you score this? Touching a line goes to the higher score? What's a 177 scoring plug look like?
Thanks

Getting down is one thing ... Getting back up is another..lol

you could sit in the shade under a tree with a block and tackle hoist ? kidding of course . Really i find shooting off the knee to be the most pain , FT style i mean not sitting back on your foot .

Sitting is good.

I score best edge. It touches it counts. Just use an unshot, undamaged pellet. Stick it in a hole that is close and see if a shirt touches. I mentioned it as .22 plugs are often used in other settings.
