Leaderboards - as of July 2, 2024
Shooters,
Below are our leaderboards with submissions through end-of-day July 2nd.
Lots of great scores and new shooters this month, including a perfect card - a 200 20X 30-Masters card by ThomasT. Congratulations Tom.
Welcome to all the new shooters. We even had one new shooter who not only posted great scores, but posted a video of himself shooting a 190+ card with his rifle upside-down, lol.
Huge amount of talented shooters taking on our 30 and 40 yard challenges. Once you try it, you know that its a much better way of improving your shooting vs. shooting “groups”. Here you actually have to hit what your aiming at to score well… and its a 10-ring 1/8 inch in diameter!
If you are in the USA, take some time this long holiday weekend to get some lead down range at our challenge cards, we look forward to more great score submissions.

Thanks!
I really like the trigger on my Vulcan 3. I don't know the pull weight but it feels just right for me. And it feels the same on every pull. My FX Dreamline trigger is inconsistent compared to Vulcan's trigger, for example.

As soon as I walked out to pin a card up, I knew I was in for some trouble with the wind. It's been blowing like crazy, but Mr. ThomasT had me inspired and I had to try out this lighter trigger. Wind kept swirling and switching on me, but that made it real fun. Submitting for 30 yard Masters leaderboard.

I can’t buy a 190 40Y Masters card, and you shot four of them Ed! 40Y Masters is so unforgiving and you made it look easy. We know it’s not.
Great shooting with that Crown. Btw- the .22 caliber Crowns have been at the top of some N50 match results around the country also.

Excellent David!
Post a picture of that Annie next time you get a chance.
Looks like .177 pellet holes. 13.4g, what velocity? Pretty good 30Y accuracy for a 10M rifle! JK,

It’s at 18.5 ft-lb. It’s primarily my field target gun.Excellent David!

Awesome shooting by you & your buddy.
If you can give us your pellet make & weight as well as the scope make, model, FFP or SFP and magnification used (for both rifles used), I’ll put you both on the next leaderboard.
Of course you will have to give me the AGN handle of your friend, or we can just use “DaveBuddy”…

I believe I’ve scored this correctly: 200-19x. Using a .22 caliber 22.07 JTS pellet and scored with a .224 scoring plug. 10s have to touch grey and Xs have to touch center dot.

I had to take down Rod's target because I forgot his stand was at 25y when I switched him over to this challenge target. Then the winds picked up and with his gun being 12 ft-lb the scores dropped pretty hard. He will get on the board another day.Of course you will have to give me the AGN handle of your friend, or we can just use “DaveBuddy”…

Shot these yesterday, thought I posted them? Anyway a couple 40yd targets and a 40yd masters. All scored as a masters card.
A little disappointing but the way it goes!

Fireworks popping all around my neighborhood, brought out a unique element. First shot was a pulled 9, dadgummit! But got in the zone and shot 15 consecutive Xs. I'll take it. Happy 4th everybody!

Does somebody not sale them. I don't own a printer or personal computer. I have my phone. I would like to purchase some real size match targets to shoot.

I shot this card on July 3rd with 14mph winds gusting to 28mph. (!) Obviously, I waited out the gusts, lol. It took me much longer to shoot than a typical card. I was testing both the new 20.83 MRDLs in the wind and my own patience in waiting for the “right” time to take shots.
wind: I live high in the hills in Vernon. In the 4 years I have owned this home, I have NEVER seen a bicycle rider on our street – and there is no through traffic – so it would be a nice place to ride, but the hills are too steep. Because of being on a hill, I don’t get many still wind days. Even worse, because of the hill, the wind is always shifting – sometimes very quickly – even before the wind flags show that it shifted.
These are the holds that I used to shoot this 197 card. I’m really proud of this card because of the way I battled the wind. Another observation is that NO WAY I would have broken 190 in these conditions with the 18.13g at 40 yards. The 20.83g definitely are significantly better than the 18.13g in heavier wind. Definitely one of the best “windy” cards that I have ever shot – I even took a single sighter mid-card (!) because the shifting wind was confusing me. I shot a 192 40-Challenge after this 197 in the same conditions, by then the wind was too confusing and exhausting for me - my patience was shot.
So for those guys shooting out of their houses and garages and posting those awesome 200 scores… I dare ya to bring your rifle to my place, lol – double dare ya. I’d be interested in hearing from anyone who has posted a 196+ card at even 30 yards that had to hold on the 8-ring or further out during the card.
