Time to shake off the cobwebs. Back to my regiment of shooting two 25 shot strings after dinner.

We have a car in for repairs for the next couple of weeks or so. It will make getting to the range tricky. I will be shooting in the 10 meter indoor range for a while. So I will use the time to work on pistol skills.

Pistol: Beeman P-17 .177
10 Meters indoors
Red dot
2-hand free standing
AA Field 8.4 grain
Score: 203 (Yes I need practice!)

I have shot this target a lot but from my bench, so shooting from the standing position with my poor old eyes was quite the challenge. Used my Diana Chaser .177 cal with H&N Baracuda Power 10.65 pellets. The scope is a 1X Red Dot and up front is a Laser. I have to confess that I used the Laser on the upper left target then switched to the Red Dot.

Nice custom chaser, debating on moding mine.

Haha, guess I’m new enough that I haven’t gotten cussing mad at a target...YET. Sometimes I put a lot of blue in the air from swearing at wind, though.

You did better than I did with my 197 score, which I did not post in here because it was done SITTING instead of standing. Also an 880 using open sights, but a new one. One of these days I hope to post a pic as a legitimate standing entry.

And I had to color in the 10 ring to see it better, too.

My 880 has a cheap barska scope. Been shooting it for a while. I thought something was wrong with the gun initially, because my groupings were so big! Hahaha! Practice will shrink the group size, but I still jerk one everytime when the pressure is on!

I know its an old thread but reading this got me thinking. I love to shoot off hand but generally shoot it with a peep sight. I can do better with a red dot but don't enjoy it as much that way. But, I have been trying to teach myself how to shoot well off hand with a scope. I didn't read every post carefully but I didn't see any mention of scopes. Any of you guys use a scope for shooting standing up? If so, what power do you use? Is more power better?

First post! Got a couple 2240XLs, one for me and one for the wife. Nothing but fun target shooting. I love a challenge, though. Not new to air rifles, had a Crosman pump BB gun when I was 14, 46 years ago :). As usual with all of my hobbies, I'l go deep down the rabbit hole. Love to learn new stuff! And to boost you sharpshooters' egos...the first target was from a rest, the other off hand. This is really hard! Cheers! Rick
