Nice shooting Dave. How come the purple people eater hasn't joined? I hope he's doing well.

Thanks John

Lol, not sure... I better text him to get him on board...I wasn't brave enuf to do it with the 12fpe gun like you...but I did get some FT shooting in today...

 

[Guest]

Don't fear low power. I figure you'd be used to it by now.

 

[Aloha808]

Aloha folks.. Ok, gonna give this a try.

I'm using an old limited edition HW-45 pistol in .177 caliber.

Shooting standing at 7 yards. I tried 10 yards, but I can't even see the .177 pellet clearly at that distance with open sights, no optics... So 7 yards it is!!

Hey John, I am good to go, Ive just been busy bass fishing in Lake Havasu that's 15 mins from my door. Great bites going on these months. Ill get on it tho man....I gotta figure out how to film it tho, without shooting my cell phone....haha

 

[Guest]

Good to hear from you Bill. I don't blame you for being out there setting the hook. I love the spawn. The herring are running here and the ponds they spawn in go nuts this time of year, though the bass spawn is a month away. Anyways it will be interesting to see what this weeks challenge will be. Stay healthy.

When I was in college I took a speech class. The professor said never start your presentation with a bunch of excuses because if it isn't good your audience will find out soon enough.

That means pretty quickly you will learn that all I know about making and posting videos can be placed in a 22 caliber pellet skirt! So here is my weekly pellet challenge. I am shooting an Impactx MKII 22 cal with the power plenum. My scope is the Athlon ARES ETR 4.5 x 30 x 56. I have the SideShot GoPro system with the Accu-Tac bipod. I am shooting the 18 gr pellet at about 930 fps. I didn't choose a very good day because I got wind, rain & hail. Look at the trees in the background in addition to the wind flags. But other than getting aggravated with trying to edit video and post this thing, I had a great time. Try to enjoy. Chuck

Nicely done LBB. I commend you for hitting so many targets, in fierce wind, & taking a good stab at editing.

So awesome I was able to demo the new FX Impact .35 for this week's challenge! Is it cheating since I was able to shoot a HUGE pellet from once of the most accurate airguns I have ever shot? HA!

There was no female submission so UA decided to give 2 of the Glock C02 pistols away to the 1st & 2nd place men.

1st place - PJ Clark with an amazing 100y shot https://www.airgunnation.com/topic/weekly-target-shooting-challenge-with-lead-steel-prizes/page/5/?view=all#post-689928

2nd place - John_in_Ma (again) with 6 impressive hits sitting & standing https://www.airgunnation.com/topic/weekly-target-shooting-challenge-with-lead-steel-prizes/page/5/?view=all#post-689824

Congratulations to all that shared their fine shooting skills!

*I'll edit the original topic to include this weeks new challenge

Awsome. Thanks again Michael. And thanks to UA, Utah Airguns and JSB. These challenges are a lot of fun. I hope more people will join. All you need is your phone camera, a youtube channel(easy to set up) and some time. 

When the pistol and bell target come in I'll do a short video with them. 

 

[pjclarke]

Wow...I'm humbled to be selected. These are great challenges and I find myself looking forward to the next one and thankful that I have, despite all that's going on, the ability to keep shooting on my home range. Thanks to JSB, Michael and Utah Airguns!

I agree with John that the challenges are fun to set up and not hard to film, even when you are working by yourself. Just don't shoot your phone!

[imnewhere]

Sweet!

 

[imnewhere]

Looks fun!

 

[Antoni]

Wow, thank you!!! I love doing this challenge as it brings me joy and I encourage anyone with a camera and some time to try this out. Editing is not that hard and making a YouTube account is very easy. 


Here is just some bonus content when I tried to use my brand-new flute to hit a pellet on pellet @70 yards offhand. I surprisingly got pretty close, but I inevitably didn’t do it

Thanks again!

I got to do this yesterday but since I had limited time this week I can not edit what I recorded. Maybe I’ll edit it later but for now all I have I photos. Anyway, I took these shots @45 yards offhand. 

Pretty bad... but then again it was at 45 yards and falling off the regulator so I don’t know how to judge that  

Here’s where I shot from followed by where I shot too (somewhere down there at the point where the grass stops and the dead vegetation begins)

And here’s some shots of my gun (previously when I was shooting for groups) and my new bench setup (thanks Michael!)

Here’s my only hit:

Next time (hopefully) I’ll be able to get back to editing these challenges.


Thanks,

Antoni

Well, here is my entry for the weekly quarantine challenge 

Pretty windy here in Denmark today, even if I was shooting in the backyard ! 

Daystate Red Wolf .177 HP shooting JSB Beast at 994 FPS at 50 yards 

Got 13 targets with the first 18 pellets ! 

Took me 23 shots to get all 18 targets !
