I love the QYS Match and so does your Crosman. After all, they are a match made for Olympics! That row looks like single shots.

What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today

Just a thought — they might not be terribly consistent at anything over 33 feet since that is what they are meant for. I've not tried the domed, but heard good things about them. For a real test, try your Crosman offhand freestyle at 33 feet and shoot at a NRA bullseye slow fire pistol target. That'll test your skills! A fifteen year old just set world record at that sport!

Hello @igolfat8
Lot of items to cover with your test.
Several pellets look really good and others could be given a more through test. I like to do three test back to back with 10 shots per test when I am looking real close at a pellet. Not sure it is actually required but I also run a swab down the barrel after each 10-shots.
I also am getting 200 shots per fill which is great.
Just a side note; my QYS pellets are wadcutters.

When you see your work posted on another forum it's the greatest compliment you can receive! I made that target up some time ago on GTA. Thank you for using it!
I'm open to other ideas for fun targets!

I've got three different QYS':
1) Wadcutter practice pellets, 500 / tin
2) Waductter "match" pellets, individually packed in foam, 200 / box
3) Domes, 500 / tin

The "match" are what I've been using but I'm sort of in love with FX 10.3 in my HW44 pistol. I posted todays shooting over in "Average Group Size".

That's the bad thing with Eley pellets or 22lr. I have found some 22lr on occasion, but it’s just about always sold out. Only a couple places here in US and folks that shoot that brand usually buy in bulk. I've given up on them. Here’s where to get them when in stock — https://www.creedmoorsports.com/category/pellets-Hello @beerthief

Hello everyone and @Emu
OK shot just two 50-Yard MOA targets this morning and not out to 90-yards for two reasons, 1) too much wind and 2) my longest target is at 85-yards. I did not want to try 85 with this much wind.
This is target no.2 and I am pleased with it because I was able to shoot MOA and just barely, yes #13 did tear the Ring.
Rifle: Brocock Commander XR .177
Pellet: JSB Exact Heavy 10.34gr
Distance: 50-yards
Weather: Wind 12-15 with gust to 20mph

Not bad at all.
When you notice there's no female wind, try the 85 yards !!!
Have an excellent Sunday !!!

Hello everyone and @Emu
This is crazy but I just had to try shooting 85-yards despite the wind and here is the result. Just too much wind for that distance and the 10 gr pellet. When conditions are good I will try again but with 13gr pellets. That quarter will cover most shots on each target. I stopped shooting because it began to sprinkle a bit.

Hello @Headshots
I shoot off two sets of bags and a bag jack on a heavy wood bench. Lyman Bag and Bag Jack in the front and three Caldwell bags ( 2 large and 1 small ) in the rear. My set up is so solid that the rifle/scope are locked on the target. It is a bit bulky and takes time to reset for each shot but it works for me, see photo.

I did some 50 yard shooting in the wind yesterday. The least wind was when practicing with the Urban. And its the first time I tried Hades with it. My new toy was wanting to give me some good groups but that darn wind. I'm pretty sure the lord has a sense of humor . The the wind picked up evey time I went to shoot targets with my new Veteran Standard.
Edit . I forgot one important detail. The Urban has a 4X scope.
