1st 100y Experience

Am I a cool kid now?🤣
It was NOT easy.
Setup the 100 yard first; nice trek🥴
Put an old beer can I found nearby on a branch to hold it in place.
Setup the old spinners with some fresh white tape for visibility sake.
And a shotgun hull I found on a twig.
Took the newer black spinners to the usual 50.
Found some more debris for targeting.
A red and a green plastic bottle cap.
The snowpeak; I am still somewhat getting used to(I keep changing the accessories)
She did fine at 50 after I got comfy.
The Lothar.....ooohhhh👀
What a BEAST!!🤯
50 YARDS WAS PRETTY MUCH NOTHING!
And the shot count🥴
After 75 yards....
Whole new ball game...however in the joy of getting ready to go to the range...I had forgotten to grab the Lothar's preferred pellets🤦‍♂️
I grabbed my closest option.
Benjamin 10.5g HP
It took some dosing for sure.
But I was able to get some dings in and was able to slay that old beer can😆
The shotgun hulls stood no chance as well🥰
Stayed out there a good 6 hours just plinking and enjoying the weather🤗
Plenty of pest birds around to try for.
But I opted to wait for a meal.
2 pairs of ECD at different intervals. I made sure to take out the female first bc the males seemed frisky; so I knew they would wait and not fly away for the downed female; thinking it was playing coy. They both did, both times. Got 4💪
Time to go make dinner!🤗

Good for you pal! Ain't it fun & exciting to know that our equipment & ourselves are up to the task. I remember how jazzed I was the 1st time I could repeatedly hit what I was aiming at at 100. Did you smile the rest of the day like I did?
I am. STILL!🤪🤙
Was such a rush of enjoyment; a much needed chunk of relaxation and lovely time all around! Literally jumped off my table when I hit the shotgun hull and saw it disappear out of scope sight 😍🤗

Looks like you had a sweet day doing lots of shooting. It’s really cool that you finished it off with the makings of dinner. Kudos to you.
Loaaads of fun and food!🤪🤙
Made a nice broth with the breasts, fished out the meat and used the broth to make noodles!🤗

I've only had the opportunity to stretch out from 50 to 100 yards a handful of times and it's definitely no joke. There is a learning curve I have not achieved yet. Glad you had fun!
I boiled it down in my head for a good while before the first shot at 100y.
Sighted in at 50y; good.
Went to.100; way low🤔
Used holdover amd found my "up" hold after a mag(just below third dot vertical)
Next mag was used for finding wind🥴(hardest part)
Dot and a half left.
Used that combo and smacked the beer can after what....5 or 6 mags🤣
IDR exactly how many shots bc I was just having fun🤗
