Not sure the link will work. Not a super thrilling vid, just what I could manage to catch on my phone between stages.
Shooting new Panthera hunter, pretty much out of the box. Competition wasn’t the plan when I bought it, but it stacked pellets at 100 yards and I was in the neighborhood, so did RMAC.
It was all about wind for me. Didn’t read it well.
PMC, finished middle of the pack in sportsman class. Had no accessory rail, so no bipod, either. Sandbag worked fine throughout PMC, bench and speed. Nobody teased me. Will fix that problem soon.
Wind wasn’t horrible for first bench target. One big shift, though, caused a few misses. Had trouble seeing .22 holes even with spotting scope. Old glasses. Old eyes. Took a couple more ugly shots before realizing the problem. Otherwise, lots of 8’s and 9’s. Second target was more of the same. My manometer seemed to stick. Showed plenty of air. POI was inexplicably low. Reg pressure was dropping. Asked for a fill. Dude didn’t know how to fill an air rifle and immediately overfilled it. Clock is ticking. Purged a bunch. Poi settled down. Rushed through the rest of the card. Think I ended up with 26 record shots, trying to account for wild misses. Didn’t matter.
Speed challenge was super fun. I shot well, just not fast enough, a second or two behind everyone else.
Can’t wait to do it again and redeem myself.
