Well right off my scoped shooting stinks as much as my irons .. (talos 3x12 - R9)
Cphp vs h&nftt 50y scoped 😱
- Thread starter Hateful McNasty
- Start date
So just did the lid test 
Looks like the .50ftt grouped best bit low left toss up between the cphp and the ftt .52 ( so far looks toss up actoss the board). Seems im tighter on can trash then nice bulls on paper ..lol
Maybe needing to go back to irons
.
Oh well guzzle some yea and soak up some A.C and try another later and see again..lol

Could just need to find it's favorite pellet. Those R9s are supposed to be pretty accurate. Nice choice in scope too.

Seems just mixed results. Maybe the lite shifting wind? One volley to the next the wind changes so ...?? If i could hit paper like the lifs id be slightly happier..
Maybe do a last late afternoon / dusk try

The cans’ reflective surface is easier to see from a longer distance. You had posted in another thread that at 30 yds with open sights, you aim in the center area of a bullseye rather than trying to nail the exact point in the center.
If you have practiced that way, would you get results more to your liking if you drew circles WITHOUT a center dot and aimed as usual? I remember a very experienced PB shooter at the range saying he seemed to shoot better if he just aimed at the middle area of the paper instead of obsessing over the dot.
I like to do a few can shots at the end of an evening session because the shiny surface remains highly visible later than paper does.

3-1/4" Lid black with 1-1/8 yellow bull cphp, 50y
3 volleys of 5 for 15 total
So painted a snuff can lid ( my favorite target) used ftt .52 pretty much drilled it.
I guess im just a ol' trashcan shooter. Cant hit store, printed or drawed targets but trash can items dont stand a chance.

One of my favorite shots was with the late evening sun at my back, shooting 50 yards from the bench, with my Ruger 22/45. I took the little plastic box my ear plugs came in, and hung it on a lush green bush. I couldn't to my liking see my sights. So I put my readers on, and my sights were beautiful, but the target, a complete blur. I looked and thought about it, and decided to shoot into the center of the blur. I missed a dead center hit by 1/8 inch. That little white 1x2 inch box looked to be 6 inches in diameter against that lush green background.

I figured I'd shovel the dust and clean out the spider webs off this printer and print some " professional" looking targets for a change of pace.
The ol' R9 does well with about any pellet ive used so far. Daisy pointed being the worse with 7" fliers , heck i think some of them shot out U-turned back for m ..lol (sad). I need to angle another r9 soon in .22

Phone charged .. that poi changed some higher and right. Maybe humidity and hot afternoon vs. cooler morning ?
Was not expecting it ..
Mixed shots of ftt .50/.52 and cphp just a grab one from tins randomly and shoot.

Uh, if you were dithering attention between grilling pok chomps and shooting, that explains the lack of concentration.Quick 10 wile cooking on the grill shots ( pok chomps).

After I started a load in the washing machine, I got some shooting in before moving the clothes to the dryer. BUTbutbutbut, the difference is that if I got wrapped up in shooting and left wet clothes in the washer after they were washed, they would not burn up. SMOKED POK CHOMPS!

Concentration is a big deal for me. Gnats whining/biting around me, my husband walking somewhere nearby but out of sight (not downrange), one of those #@,%!!* Eurasian Collared Doves calling out its signature “in-VA-sive! in-VA-sive!” monologues, or a loud truck driving in the area all can distract me just enough to throw off a shot, even if only a little bit.
The gun itself shoots surprisingly well. The gray matter running the thing needs to get better at tuning out minor distractions. There is no way I would try to coordinate shots with grilling food, but maybe you are better at juggling things than I am.
