I rang Dave Larson’s Bell

[ThomasT]

Hello everyone,

For all you folks that own one of @davelarson Spinner - Bell targets you will be able to appreciate these photos.

I actually set up this morning to shoot some 25-yard paper targets later on during the day. Anyway when I took the paper target out to the 25-yard frame I saw Dave’s setup out on my 30-yard target frame and I thought is it possible for me to “Ring” the bell on any of the various size holes . For those of you not familiar, his target has three different size holes ( .24", .38", .55" ) in the front base with a Bell mounted behind the steel plate. If a pellet goes through a hole it will hit and ring the bell.

I have shot the heck out of his target on 10-meters and indoors at 15-feet and repainted it many times. It is a good challenge to “Ring” his bell with a rifle or pistol at these distances .

But at 30-Yards this was a really fun challenge .

Range: Outdoor 30-Yards
Rifle: Brocock Sniper XR .22 caliber
Scope: Athlon Argos BTR Gen2 10-40x56
Pellets: JSB Jumbo Heavy 18.13gr
FPS: 834
FPE: 28
Wind: 0 mph

Thomas, great shooting and ringing! I have a similar bell target with progressively smaller holes...it gets really small after 15yds.....awesome concentration there!

Hello @Ranchibi

I have had so much fun with this target shooting with all of my Pistols and that small hole is a challenge.

Wow! It’s really hard to ring the bell through the little hole at 15 yards and you got it twice at 30 yards in five shots.
Very good shooting, the small hole is about the size of a starlings eye!
