Showing Off! Unedited Video Shooting Spinners and Chalk in High Wind

[SkeeterHawk]

Hello Shooters!

I was pretty happy with how this shooting session turned out, so I am glad that I had a camera rolling. Here is a link:

I was shooting the hanging spinning targets (Assembly instructions can be found here) and chalk on top of the sawhorse at 25 Yards in 20mph sustained winds. I was shooting my 22cal Avenger shooting 21.14gr Baracuda Match 5.51mm Head at about 875FPS.

I hope that you enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed pulling the trigger all those times. Woo hoo!!

Airguns are awesome!!

Digging the chalk clouds

I know!! Aren't they awesome!! I thought that was the perfect target for the higher wind.

Would make practicing windage holdovers more fun! There are some concerns/warnings on the internet.

@SkeeterHawk, that’s some sweet shooting, you can really hear the wind. Love powdering chalk, you get an instant wind reading at impact.

I feel as you describe, chuckling to my self and exclaiming at my feats of backyard plinksmanship. I hope my neighbors don’t think I’m crazy… Just love to shoot is all… the day, and I hope it never comes, that I stop enjoying hitting what I’m aiming at? Will be a sad day indeed.

Thanks so much! I know! I love the poofing chalk!

I hope my neighbors don’t think I’m crazy

I hope that they can just hear the impact, and not the shot, so hopefully they don't know where I am and will keep their distance.

I hope it never comes, that I stop enjoying hitting what I’m aiming at? Will be a sad day indeed.

Too true! I hope that if this day ever comes, that I am so incapacitated that I don't care any more.

I am definitely ordering some chalk.

Tip - You can find them at the Dollar Store, but check the boxes to make sure that the chalk is in one(ish) piece. I bought a few boxes that looked like someone "spiked" them on the ground and were tiny pieces in the box.

There was a time in my life that joy and Laughter were another man's dream. Nothing is worth the price of madness.

That’s where I get my chalk…

Thanks @maxtrouble ! I agree, the chalk makes a really fun "reactive" target...especially on such windy days
