You getting better John, pretty quick turn around too!

 

[Guest]

Thank you Vasyl. Now the hard work of adding a point or two each week begins.

 

[chasdicapua]

Well done John.

319 Total. Should be easy to improve on next round.

Hey Michael, 

Good to have you participating. Quite a number of 10's. It's those stray shots that are the killers! Ask me how I know!!

I am as humbled by the pellet as I am the golf ball. Gotta put in the practice....

I promise you... keep at it and YOU WILL see improvement! Keep at it!

 

[chasdicapua]

Yes, keep at it and perhaps watch a video on off hand shooting. Vasyl, do you still have the address to Tom Holland's video on off hand shooting?

I watched a few...got some good tips, just gotta put them into practice. I am stoked about this challenge because shooting from the standing position offhand is something I've never tried to get good at before. I surprised myself a few times when I held the reticle on target for a millisecond or two. Mostly timing my wobble...

Now that's some SHOOTIN !

 

[DeadEyeNC]

Nice Leo!

I want to shoot like that when I grow up.

 

[chasdicapua]

I'll post my targets when I get home from work. The thing that amazes me about Leo is that those scores are with a springer! Not that springers can't be accurate, but it's much more difficult to get that sort of accuracy than with a regulated pcp. 

Those are helpful links Leo. Especially the one that shows the proper alignment in the standing and kneeling positions.

Here are my targets for this time. Trigger control, trigger control. 

RAW TM1000 Sightron Slll JSB Wadcutters 176 + 180 = 356

Went out in the field to practice a few standing offhand shots at 10 yards...hard to believe that bull's eye. Chilly with wind gusts up to 15-20.

After that, I moved it out to 20 yards and used my diy shooting sticks.

30 yards with shooting sticks.

Oops, double post.
