I Shot the HW35 Today

[Frank in Fairfield]

Standing, 10 yards, offhand, Beeman Peep and post front sight, RWS 8.2gr WC.
Anyone who follows me is aware how much I try and shoot while standing as it is good practice for silly wet and 10 meter matches.
Today I took a chance with the Star Game not unlike the targets we shot at the county fair when growing up.
It is very easy to eliminate the star when shooting from a rest or while resting your elbows on the shooting booth counter at the fairgrounds.
But offhand, at 79, with all the ailments of age…..

But I took a chance and have decided this will be my daily winter shooting challenge.
I was doing pretty well until I started tiring at around shot #14 (of 20 shots taken) and the wobbles started:

I havre found that completely removing a center on a target are not all that easy, there is often some little part that resist, and not forgetting the countless shots in a hole already there.

Red star
I am wondering as a Euro guy, was there ever a hammer and sickle target.
IMO there aught to have been,,,,, and im the son of a prominent commie here.

Hey Frank,
As always ............. your nice shooting has nothing to do with age .
This would out perform most folks of any age.

Another gun (FWB601).
Same pellet, distance, standing, offhand, 20 shots: RWS 8.2 WC.
Rear peep, front aperture.
I suspect a few of the shots went into the hole.
It is quite difficult to see the points even at 10 yards.
