So 2 days of decent weather so i an now down 1200 13 gr slugs and 350 16 gr slugs.
our " needle " target need a little more reward for hitting the little 6 mm lole, and while the shooting gallery chalks work we like a little more visual.
So i modded the chalks, meaning the hole in them that hold them in the shooting gallery, well we dont need that so i filled those up with chalk powder.
And that is immensely better, now i just need to figure out how to have it stay in there after the end have been shot up, i an thinking make the colored chalk a paste and fill that into the hole in the chalk stick, and then let it dry.
Have to do that or the powder will just empty out after 1 shot, and really the dispenser / magazine setup we have on the back of the needle target mean you ned 4 shots to chew up one of these 2" or so chalks.
Test shooting a modified chalk, mind you here it all go up in " smoke "
Also reied to shoot the colored chalks i got, but the 13 gr slugs almost drill the entire 20 mm in diameter chalk, and factoring in how light and fragile these feel i was amazed to see this when my friend had been to the 100 yard target to set up nes stuff and brought this back.
TBH i thought i just nicked the piece of chalk i sawed off a larger piece ( kids stuff to draw on the pavement )
BUT ! you literally drill them and the explosion of dust from the hit is not that big really.
Entry.
Exit.
My fried was pretty chuffed about the one 2" SNS target he shot at 100 yards.
And it is not bad.
His mistake though was, he left 1 clean SNS target for me, and so i dropped 5 too ( friend needed 7 shots to get 5 on the target )
But EXTREMELY bad news.
The high pressure 4 stage / cylinder on my Tuxing compressor have broken so it will only do 240 BAR now.
The thing 1 year and like 10 months old, and have not even reached the recommended time for the first oil change, so not a lot of hours on it.
