The gun doesn’t have bad eye sight.
The gun doesn’t have a heart beat.
It doesn’t breath.
It doesn’t have finger squeeze problems.
And it doesn’t have arthritis among other things.
Good luck Crow

Hello beerthief,

Well I have been thinking about having a print shop print my targets on MUCH larger paper and scale to the new paper size :unsure:

MY calculations would be for your 8x8 target paper( that is 8.5 x 11 ) would be 17 inch X 23 inch for 100 yard target . the center 10 rings for .177 would be 3/4 inch ? the 4 corner rings would be 5 inches ?

Hello beerthief,

I was hoping that you meant 8-foot by 8-foot and the center ring 3/4-foot 👍 ;)(y)

Have a great weekend,

Had one of those days yesterday Thomas. Not terrible, but not really in sync either. The gun deserved better. Then I remembered I could just walk outside and try to do better tomorrow ;) . Made me feel better

Have a great day,

Hello everyone,

Well a new day and boy what a difference in my paper target shooting. Don’t know what the heck I was doing yesterday but I hope that does not happen again. This first photo is my test target to warm up shooting and that is 15 rounds from 30-yards. You can see on the second photo not a single flier out of the 15 rounds. I followed this up by shooting a bunch of competition targets with almost all 10's with a few 9's on a couple of cards. What really puzzle me is that nothing felt any different today, so I have no idea what if any changes that I made.

Have a great weekend,
ThomasT

Hello everyone,

I am having to stop shooting for today because it is just too hot. At 1:10pm it is 99 degrees F and the feels like temperature is 108 degrees F. It is also hard for me to see the target at 50-yards because of the Heat Devils dancing off the ground.

After shooting pretty good on the 30-yard target I moved out to my 50-yard target and shot this practice target without making any adjustments to the scope, this is 3-shot groups at all five Rings. I just held the cross hairs one mark to the left after shooting that top left 10-Ring. I will try again in the morning when it is 20-plus degrees cooler.

Have a great weekend,
ThomasT
