Not my best work, but I am excited about the potential of this pellet. First card to shoot with it. Chronograph numbers looked really good. Excuse the drop of sweat in box 9, it's hot outside! Submitting for masters leaderboard.

Not what I'd call a clean 19X, some of these were too close for comfort. But exciting nonetheless 
. That's about the closest 10 I've ever seen. Submitting for Masters leaderboard.

These are no higher than my previous best with this rifle so not for the leaderboard, just an update. Both targets were with my Caiman X with it's Arken EPL-4 6-24 set at 24X shooting H&N Baracuda 18 pellets straight from the tin through the magazine. The 196 was this morning in a little bit of wind. I was pretty happy with that result in the wind. It always throws me off. About the time the Trump injury reports were coming in this evening i noticed the wind was really calm so I shot the Caiman again. The result is the 198. I had adjusted the scope a few clicks this morning and I might have had a really nice score if I had just returned the scope to it's "0" settings which is where I ended up. On block 5. I only shot one 9 after getting the scope adjusted. The rest were 10s. Still pretty happy with the target. I've certainly done worse. I think it may be my third 198. At least 4 197s and one 199. Gun will shoot if I can just reduce my mistakes....

Ed, please replace my current 40yd Master Class entry with the attached one.
Wind/breeze conditions were the best I have had the opportunity to take advantage of for quite some time. My first card (40yd Challenge) resulted in a 198-15x with a couple of unexplained fliers so, I dug into my stash and came up with the tin of eight year old pellets to shoot the second card.

Congratulations on another outstanding card Demphana2 !!
That is an amazing barrel that you have on your Brocock - as it maintains incredible accuracy with such a range of pellets !
Fantastic shooting!!

Went to the range this morning. 90 degrees while I was there, and very humid. Wind was light, so a good day to shoot. Had the RAW TM1000X .177 with me today. I shot several 40Y Challenge cards and a couple 30Y cards.
40Y Challenge Cards:
188-9X
192-9X
196-14X
30Y Challenge Cards
198-13X
198-13X
I was trying hard to break 190 at 40Y and almost gave in after shooting the 192 card. Wind laid down a bit, so decided to try one more. Finally, shot a decent card and will submit the 196-14X 40Y card for the leaderboard.
Moved back to 30Y and now I was thirsty for hopefully a '200.' No luck, but will submit either 198-13X for the next leaderboard.
I had my favorite wind condition for the 40Y 196 card; a slight tail wind with both flags going 180 degrees down range. I held between 7 and 8 o'clock on the eight ring and nine ring consistently for most of the good scores.
I was almost ready to give up the 40Y challenge distance, as I have been struggling all year.

I got around to shooting a couple 30yd challenge cards yesterday. I opened a tin of older FX 22 18.1 pellets and they were shooting without many fliers
My best was a 200 with only 14X and a 199 17X.
FX M3 .22 700mm @950fps Siii on 50.

So to score a ten, it has to touch the black ten ring outside of the grey, not the grey fill itself?
Reading the rules post early on I thought tens had to plug to the grey fill area.
It makes sense to score all zones to the outer black ring but the wording about grey area, well, I guess it was a metaphorical grey area.

We follow WRABF/ERABSF/USARB rules and the corresponding score inside the outer ring is counted as long as the scoring plug flange touches the edge of the outer ring. Same scoring system is also applied at EBR, RMAC, NAC, PAC and N50.

yes the rules say it has to touch , not split the line .
I do not agree ,I think the line should be at least fully split , but again that's just me . it is how i score for personal home range use /practice targets.

That’s all good and happy but post number one says “To score a 10, you just need to touch the gray ring surrounding the black dot.”
Since the center of the target is a black dot surrounded by a thick grey ring, (which is surrounded by a black ring) I read that literally and ignored the black ring. I was scored a ten only when the plug touched grey (i.e. fully broke the black ring that surrounds the grey).
I will score it as such going forward and maybe pick up a point here and there. Is it possible for someone to update the wording in the first post?

The correct way to score is for the scoring plug’s flange the outer ring. If there is a white gap in between the flange and outer ring, the lower corresponding score is applied.

Good points regarding the somewhat nebulous description in the scoring in post #1 .
I have been the moderator of this thread for the past year or so. I don’t have the ability to edit the original moderator’s post.
I believe the original moderator just referenced the “gray” as there is no “10” on the target - as that scoring area is too small to include a number…
… so, I’ve been scoring as Airgunnero describes - that the scoring plug must touch the black ring, rather than the gray area to score a 10.
This is a friendly, “honor system” competition - to date, I have not rejected any scores that look a bit “enthusiastic” . However, others on the thread have helped self-police when there have been obvious scoring errors submitted.
So, I’m good with using the scoring rules as defined by the documentation that Airgunnero posted - if everyone else is in agreement with using those rules for submissions.
Finally, I’m astonished at how many great shooters we have on this thread and the incredible cards that are being submitted lately.
Our 30 and 40 Yard Challenge has become somewhat “legendary” on AGN over time… a true test of accuracy of both the shooters and their rifles. Let’s keep it going…
… so get some lead downrange !!

I don’t know about the rest of you guys, but I pick “The Airgunnero” for my team, lol !
Ricky, by introducing the time element to our Challenges and shooting 197s at 40 yards so quickly, I’m just astonished at your skill level - awesome!
