Very nice shooting Tommy. Going to have a go at it one of these days.
Good shooting, Tommy.
I put a big dirt mound backstop behind my 50y stand because the steel trap I was using made too much noise. The mound is now in the way for me to do any 100y shooting in the old configuration. I’ll have to put another bench further back one of these days or figure something else out.

Tommy…one neighbor asked me if I was shooting cans or something. I just figured I’d do away with the clang noise. It was a lot louder then the gun.

Hey guys, get a big heavy semi truck mud flap and hang it behind the target. It deadens the loud steel whack into a dull thud. My .30 pellets sometimes stick in it but nothing has gotten through it. You can see it behind the spinners, it works great. I also cut out mud flap starlings to hang at different ranges with log background to absorb the misses. I have to be quiet when I shoot sometimes if certain neighbors are out.
Good shooting, Tommy. Your first card is about 10x and your second around 13. In pro class with the .224 plug you only have to touch the dot. In pellet and sportsman with the big .350” plug you have to cover the dot.

That’s really something to see, so many X’s at 50 yards in wind, with any rifle.
The whirling changes are what seem impossible to me. I need some directional arrow flags instead of just hanging tails. Sometimes the tails are obvious in a direction but usually they are whirling in an unreadable way and I just shoot through the wind. And that Mike can do the challenge with his air rifle at 100 yards is mind boggling, you too Tommy.
I always check the bench rest section and the over 100 yards section of the forum first to see the latest groups you guys are shooting. It’s been extremely windy here lately, but at the first chance I get I’ll try the challenge myself. What a great sport this is.
