Airgun Depot's Long Rangers

[Imold]

"Bizill"I may end up eating my words. Normally I hit targets at 115 yards with ease but just a 4-5 mph wind had me off a good bit. I couldn't read the palm fronds blowing in the wind correctly so I was feeding Strelok bogus info. And being I was after targets with no backdrop I had no point of reference to get back on target. 

Imold, I'm quite envious of your land you got there. I'd be out practicing all the time! Alas, I'm in the city. Blah.

Thanks..What's funny is I live on a nice lake but would rather be sitting at that bench enjoying the peace and quiet,just bought this 12.7 acres and 7 acres was just a overgrown hayfield that I've put a lot of time in mowing to get it to look like this, I have a 34ft camper just behind the bench about 15 yards so I've got it set up pretty good so far but still need electrical,septic and a well put in.
I have a area that I can shoot close to 300 yards that I'm going to use for the Golfball challenge, I'll get a pic of the 150-175 and 200 yard shooting lane with markers when I get it all set up for the challenge. Hopefully it will work out for me or else I'll have to go to our gun club range......

I think this is a plot to sell a bunch of high dollar equipment. Gun, scope and fill device would be at least a thousand. That is if you start with the lowest priced of the recommended guns.

That could be,
But most of us want the guns anyway. I was thinking I would also try with my .22 Disco just to see if I can reach out that far.

I was playing out to 200 yards. It's quite doable, just not sure how many tries it will take. I'd like to hit it in under 5. It'd almost be like cheating to do it on a windless day. The marketing fella from AGD was doing the 150 yard in some pretty nasty wind. Hat's off to him.

It's brilliant marketing really. Take a bunch of aspiring marksmen, challenge them to do something difficult, then watch as those same shooters invest in ammo, targets, maybe even new equipment.

Stage 3; profit! Genius! 

Take my money! I'll give it a go, also with a springer. Good luck fellas

Now I just need a nice cool day or a day where the humidity isn't the same as the temp.

My balls and heavy pills came in today(-the 10.34s, which I will likely use for the challenge).

I was at the range I wanted to use for the 150yd but I just can't get it. I was however shooting some rotten eggs at 75yd seated with a bipod (Hunter class in FT) so I think 150yd benched shouldn't be too much of a hassle. Good luck shooters!

 

[Bizill]

Just hope I get a chance to get out somewhere in time...

 

[Imold]

Cool pic Bizill, I'm going after mine with 25.4's see your going after them with 34's, good luck smack em all.. If the wind isn't in my favor I might have to go to 34's also but would really like to do it with the 25.4's.

Next to the 33.95 are the 25.39gr jsb's. Flash washed it all out including the AGD logo on the balls. It was late and was too tired to take another pic. It was 75 out this morn but humid as heck so I wussed out and went back inside. Was crawling through the attic last night tracking down a leak and am spent today. I just want to sleep. 

The only way I'm gonna be able to do this is go out into the desert or hit our 1,000 yard gun range but it's too hot to do either. We do have until the end of August though so I hope I get off my lazy butt and do this. I've become quite the hermit and hate to leave home to do anything at all anymore. Sure wish I had land. I would have already been done with this competition.

Here is a link to my video. 150 yard shot used a arce 1000 range finder to set my ball. 

it helps to put some black reactive target behind the ball to see where your shots are hitting

Good on ya, @Seth0764!

Great shooting Seth, and you too Steve! I can't wait to get to the range to give it a go.

Spent all day out practicing for the Long Rangers with my Benjamin bulldog at 150 yards. There is my best group! EIGHT hit the target (TOO BAD IT WAS A 30 SHOT GROUP... benched.) Makes wonder how certain people on you tube can hit a target at 151 yards free hand?

I got com formation today, I'll be at the gun range Wednesday morning. Look out 150 and 175.
