Been working around the house like a madman, trying to get some much needed chores around the house done before leaving for RMAC. Told my wife all physically demanding stuffs I need to stop today, Wednesday, to give my body a chance to heal up. This was my final project, and let me tell you, doing this myself on a cane with a 75% fused spine, on uneven ground with left foot drop foot wasn’t easy. Most of you all would’ve had this done in a day, but it took me 2.5 days. Felt good to be out there, and I saved $$ by not hiring it out-

Once set, I took it out to a hundred and shot two rounds thru each of the 25 targets and set my speed. Just as I had one target to go another fly lands on the target. They must be attracted to the punch holes or something.
There was a slight breeze blowing out in the field I shoot at so I held off like I had for the target previous, and lo and behold, fly #3 fell to the Skout!

I told a good friend earlier who I shared this pic with that I don’t share it to be boasting on my abilities as a shooter, no FF’n way. I still have a lot to learn and a long way to go to get to where I want to be as a competitive target shooter. I put up and share fly kill pics to show the testament of this Skout rifle, and how it performs. Shooting a critter this small is not an easy feat; your gun and its ammo must be in tip top performance in order to make a shot like this. The gun itself, I feel, is totally ready for competition. Skout has created a gun that is just incredible, so much so it impresses me everyday.
Look at this shot string-
View attachment 471915 136 shots with a 9 fps spread, from pellets straight out of the tin, untethered. At shot number 44, I remember looking at the chrony and at that moment it only had a 4 fps spread!!
Love my mk2 impact, but it has never performed at this level. In fact, none of my other PCP’s have. Simply an amazing gun with so much potential.
