Here are my cards for this week.

Used two rifles this time. 1st one (194) Walther LGU, Sightron 10-50x60 & AA 8.4 grain pellet.

2nd one (193) HW97K, Falcon 5-30x56 FFP scope & RWS MK 8.2 grain wadcutter

194+193=387

 

[shutik]

Leo, great shooting! Teach us your ways

 

[gonzav71]

Bone support.- Minimize muscle use.

Follow through - keeping aiming after pulling the trigger.

 

[chasdicapua]

Yeah, it's the trigger pull that can often get me. Crosshairs are somewhat settled on the target, pull the trigger and it's a minus 3!

Down to the basement now to shoot a couple of cards.

Here are my two. Had one real good one. 194+197=391

 

[chasdicapua]

I would say 11 points is an improvement Marty! 197 Greg, you're killin me. 

Here are my two. 360 (180 + 180) I'm really enjoying slowly getting better. Forgot to add: RAW BM500 with JSB wadcutters

My cards for this round. 184+191=375

Edit: The second card should be 191. My bad.

 

[Rangermike]

My Cards for this round, first time, hope i did it right. thanks Mike Norris

 

[chasdicapua]

Vasyl, you and I get the consistency award this time around!

John, nice 191 card.

Chas

 

[shutik]

Chas, can't seem to improve out of this range. Need more patience, wait for movement to settle down.

 

[Guest]

Thanks Chas and good shooting guys. Had I the time to shoot a third card I think I would have been able to get another 190+. Shooting 50' smallbore on friday nights seems to be helping.

How many of these groups were shot with open sights?

 

[ironlion269]

Just ramping up for this ongoing challenge. First two cards shot tonight using my Daisy Avanti 853 at 10m/32.5 ft indoors using the Daisy diopter sights. First card shot with Crosman Premier Wadcutters in .177 at 7.4 gr, second card shot with AA Diabolo Field .177 8.4 gr. Gun was actually sighted in with the CPWs but I'm not steady enough to worry about a little bias using the 8.4 diabolos yet. Ended up with a 246 by my best analysis. Plan to keep up the discipline though I may rotate in my Beeman AR2078a CO2 in .22 once this bad cold snap is over here in Indiana.

How many of these groups were shot with open sights?

The target was not made for iron sights. Almost all of us shoot with scopes. Most of us use this for off season practice for field target.

Very good shooting John. A lot of improvement. If you are still shooting outside, I would give you 10 bonus points for dealing with the wind.

Well, that's an eye-opener! All I could see through my diopter was a fuzzy blotch for each target. Scope it is!
