Do you score 177s with a 22 plug? I tried a target today with not my best gun. Just eye balling it based on the hole using a .177 plug. It is a197 with 7 Xs. Problem was not enough scope. Both bad shots resulted from eye strain then fuzzing out resulting in grabbing the trigger. This is a challenge but since you’re too far away I will remain at 20x and see what I can do. I doubt we would ever win but I see us in the middle, at least. My buddy Sam is at 40x I gave him some targets. He shoots often times better than I do on bullseye targets. This is a challenge, I will try it tomorrow with either the TX or LGU and expect to do better.View attachment 541887

Jeff, here is an overhead view of our scoring plug in action. This bull scores as a 10 since the plug is touching the center dot. To get an X the plug must completely cover the dot.

Yes I understand. My question is what size plug to you use. Do you use a .22 plug for a .177 or a .177 plug.

Buckeye68 · Feb 25, 2025

Tim scores all the targets with a .224 gauge.

For guys that are shooting .177 he’s uses a .177 pin that goes through the hole of the paper with a .224 gauge on top of the paper.

Makes it all the same for everyone.

Thanks, I figured that is what happened but wanted to know.

Thank you guys. My Avenger is just an awesome BR rifle at this distance. I’ve got it tuned to perfection too and with the addition of the heavy bipod was another plus to help with consistency.

Hello again @igolfat8

Tim, is there any chance that you know what ammo the PB's are using? I would be interested in knowing what rifle is shooting what ammo if that is possible

Thank you,
ThomasT

CZs are mostly shooting Lapua Center X, Midas and Midas Plus. Bergaras are shooting R50, Center X. One CZ MTR is shooting Norma Tac 22. Some are shooting SK ammos too.

We had our next to last indoor BR this afternoon. We had a full house of 18 shooters again With 4 more on the waiting list. I wish we had more space indoors but it is what it is. Here are pics of one of the all Airgun relays.

Hello @igolfat8

Well. well, some of you fellas finally came down to earth and joined us mortals with your scoring

. Still nice to see how close everyone shoots in this competition.

I would bet if you had 15 lanes and after the word got out, then you still would have standing room on some events.

Final indoor match of the season, this Sunday, 3/30. Be there or be square…

igolfat8 · Sunday at 7:02 PM

We had our final indoor match today. We call it a “fun match” and the last match is always an unknown surprise. First we enjoyed pizza, Cinnabons, brownies and rice crispy treats. Then the shooting began with everyone having a 10 minute sight in period and then we all had fun by trying to cut some cards. I made 6 holders to clamp 6 cards and each person got 6 shots. We boiled it down to 4 people who were able to cut all 6 cards. This 4 had a shoot off. @Buckeye68 was able to cut all 6 in the shoot off while some other guy cut 5 and grazed one and a father son duo cut 4 cards. It was a really fun day, at least for me.
