Air Arms Shooting a TX200 in a Rimfire Challenge

[drpietrzak]

Just for fun I used my TX200 MKII .177 to shoot in in a monthly challenge. It was a fun thing to do. It uses ARA Unlimited targets, which are scored worst edge. I think I can do better.


Rifle: Air Arms TX200 MKIII
Optic: Vortex Diamondback 6 to 25
Ammo: Air Arms 10.3 Field Heavy (unsorted and unlubed)
Front Rest: Rock BR with Edgewood Bag
Rear Rest: Protektor #13
Temp: 85F and 85% Humidity
Wind: 0-5 but mostly 0.

Score: 1860 with 4 maybe 5 x's

Excuses: I suck

Cool...the ft guys up in Wisconsin shoot what they call an IFP match, I believe. It's 1/2" circles scored worst edge like ARA unlimited and they shoot from ft position at 30y indoors in the winter to keep themselves sharp. Fun games

A perfect score is 2500. I shot in the 30 yard challenge previously. The issue for me is finding a decent lane that is other than 25-yards or 50-yards. I do a lot more 50-yard stuff but few others seem to with springers.

home range right now is 48 yards , but i mostly shoot 20 (covered out doors) and 30 yards . 1850 /2500 isn't shabby outdoors .

Very respectable score, considering that for each shot you have to disturb your set up. That target is unforgiving.

It is harder than it initially seems given worst edge scoring.

I'd say it's WAY harder than it initially seems.

Excellent video and shooting. For outdoors you would enjoy another TX in .22. Only downside is a .22 in worst edge scoring.

I have been pretty happy with .177 so far. I was l looking at a Diana 54 though!
