This is a target from a 400 yd Match I shoot, no not with an airgun. You can see the masking tape patches on those holes. After shooting 7 50 yard groups, none at .5 or less most 1.0+/- but very consistent, I had this target in the car and thought I will try 5 at 100 yards. First shot hit my taped patch at the top and pushed it through the original hole, I put a small x on it. Since the first shot hit the heart I 
thought it would be cool to hit it 5 times. I did, you see the result. Thanks to John Thomas from York Pa for the tune up and to Hector Medenez for the tuner. These 2 things made this gun worth owning.

Great shooting. Are you using the stock barrel shroud? My 56TH shoots very well in stock trim. Waiting for it to cool down so I can finish testing stock and then add CF shroud and HPM from Hector and see the improvement. Can’t wait after seeing your target. It’s really a fantastic platform when set up properly.

Seems to happen more than one would hope. Sled and trigger obviously need tweaking out of the box. Barrel crown on some need work as we’ve seen. But man, when they’re right there’s nothing like it. Cant wait till October so I can get to work on mine. Exciting day today, we’re only supposed to get to 101 LOL.

Yes, Jeff: Which pellets and what velocity? I was just day-dreaming about springers and long-range work.

Forgot yours was .22. Billinoregon, my 56TH is .177 and loves JSB 10.34. Only Diana I have that likes JSB.

I shot again last night in spite of pretty crazy wind. Set some Airgun silhouettes up at 50 yards, chicken pig, turkey and the ram at 100. A strong twitchy head wind was pushing them down but after I figured out how much not many misses. I was shooting up culled pellets I had 7 left I shot thrm at paper at 50 yards. 6 made a hole the size of penny, one was an inch low as 6 o'clock. This 54 makes me smile.
