Hello everyone,

No rain and no wind and I wasn’t sure that I would be able to shoot in theses conditions :p . I decided to set up on 25-Yards and take advantage of these special great conditions and shoot a stack of paper targets. Got lucky and shot several good targets but I nailed this one and that put a smile on my face :).

Range: Outdoor 10-Meters
Rifle: Brocock Sniper XR .22 caliber
Scope: Athlon Argos BTR Gen2 10-40x56
Pellets: JSB Jumbo Heavy 18.13gr
FPS: 834
FPE: 28
Wind: zero mph

Not trying to bait you but just curious, so why is that your preferred caliber?

Currently for target shooting I prefer 177. I have a young child so no time for trips to the range. I can shoot out to 35 yards at my home. The light 177 give me the best challenge with the wind. The card I posted with my S200 was gaining knowledge of the wind. I held on the bull for all the shots. Hopefully I will eventually get good enough and hold for the wind I see, hear, and feel. It doesn’t hurt they are some of the most affordable pellets also! Using my Huma mod 30 and Tanto makes them extremely backyard friendly. I can shoot at 6am and not draw any attention.

OK, folks. I took a little time off the chores and shot one of @ThomasT targets I've been meaning to try. Not 10 meters, but 7 yards. I mixed it up by shooting 5 times at each X so maybe that makes up for the closer distance? By the way, I like 177 cal because that is what my HW44 shoots and we all know how well it shoots. I'm pretty much a short distance paper puncher because that's what I have to work with. I have arthritis bad in all my joints so I have to deal with that daily. Doesn't allow me to get out into woods or to club all that often. I'm just happy with what I have.

Hello everyone,

By far my favorite "paper target" pellet is the .177 because I believe it requires just a tad more skill especially when shooting outdoors.

i think the skill is the same at the appropriate distances for the power and caliber.

Hello @rsfrid

That is some great shooting. Don't throw that target away, tomorrow shoot all of the "6's" and then the next day just the "7's", etc, etc, :ROFLMAO:.
