Halloween Themed Challenge - Oct 2023

Hi to all the Nation
So I’m new to this forum and came across these challenges. I watched a lot of these before I decided to do one, so I picked the most recent to do. About my gun… it’s a Hatsan neutron star .25 cal with a discovery scope on top. It has a Donny suppressor on the front. Im shooting the H&N Baracuda extreme 28.24 gr. I decide to shoot some jelly beans that are about the size of a peanut m&m (see pic). Im shooting at my back stop that’s at 50yards. That’s about all I can stretch out. So I’m testing my set up, you can see my first shoot hit the 1x2 and all the candy went flying off. In the video I’m shooting the far right target first. So I decided to try it one more time before I changed the setup and SUCCES!!! I will share both videos. Thank you all for such a cool nation.

This isn't my "official" entry for this month, but here is a link to a relative post that I put up a week or so before this posted:

I'm thinking that this is a good excuse to destroy the skulls that I picked up last month and mentioned in this post.

OK this is my official entry for this month. Here is a link to the carnage:

Here is the target before:


Here it is directly after the shooting session:


I set them back up for effect, so here is that picture:


Happy Halloween Airgunners!!

Are you referring to the arrow to the right of a post?

Can I shoot bigfoot with an airgun, would it be legal?

I'm in the mountains, and we all understand he is here, but you can't see him; hence, you would have to shoot with your lens caps on your scope because that is the only way to hit something you don't see. But if you kill a Bigfoot, and you don't see it, did you really kill him? Hmmm...

I use the old 3D cardboard glass's they used to hand out at the movies , Bigfoot really stands out , but how could you shoot him with a grinn like he has ?

Perhaps he teleported away to Skinwalker ranch, or better yet, the Montana Vortex?

I've got a bag of jelly beans that I plan to shoot at some point too. Just a thought, I was planning on putting the big-headed pins used for sewing to "stick" them to the board. You'll probably have to push them in with plyers, but I figured that should keep them in place while you blow them all up...MUCH better than hot glue for such a target.

Happy shooting!!

Thanks Jonathan for the tip. I’m definitely going to try that. My next challenge is to try the fly target. I’ve really enjoyed looking and reading all the posts. Sorry I didn’t see your response till now. I’m still learning to navigate this place.

There are a lot of fun shooting challenges on here. The shooting challenges is the place that I'd say that I "haunt" the most (Timely for Halloween). @ThomasT has posted some awesome paper targets in addition to the sticky thread @Michael put up here. One challenge that I posted almost a year ago was the Necco (wafer) challenge that I thought would be pretty fun, but hasn't gotten much traction for some reason...

Heck yea! That's awesome! I love how it looks with the light inside!

That's a great job! Any clue how many pellets you used?
