What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today
- Thread starter ThomasT
- Start date
Weather was just too nice (for Michigan 
) to sit indoors so I drove out to club range with my Maverick Sniper 25 cal. It's tuned for 34 grain pellets and I usually shoot 50 yards with it. Today, being first trip out of season and breezy, I checked zero at 50, shot a group then moved back to 25 yards. I am working on my confidence before trying anything fancy at 50.
This is my 5 shot group at 50 to check zero. The wind drift is apparent. Date is wrong on target — it was 10th, today.
I shot these 5 shot groups at 25 yards with same zero and same everything. Just adjusted one little smirch (yes, an airgun sighting term) down.
Lastly, I shot an IBS rimfire 50 yard target at 25 yards. Think I'm regaining confidence to move back out to 50 next time. A day with little to no wind would help for the first try.

I have confidence that you shot the heck out of all of these targets

I tried the 13gr Monsters today with success! Straight from the tin.
#9 Was really close, I called it a 9
#11 I didn't close the bolt by accident and got the low shot. I counted that lower score
#22 Those were my first 2 shots at the first sighter. It was zeroed at 10m before I started shooting this card
I should be getting a 250 out of this one.

Hello everyone,
Shot the 25-Yard MOA target yesterday using JSB pellets and scored a 30 X. Today I switched to JTS Dead Center 18.1gr and barely shot a 20 X
. Boy these pellets were all over the target. On a 10-Meter target the JTS shoots almost identical to the JSB . I noticed that the big misses were all shot low today.

Hi Guys,
Got out to the range for a 100yrd session with my Epoch .22 using the JSB Grands
I had to rebuild my regulator, so i lost my setting, forgot to write them down after my last session. With the help from Darryl@skout airguns and Mike @Centercut , i was able to put it all back together.
Very nice results, but not spectacular
on one of the targets, the first 2 shots went kinda weird, then they grouped up.
pellets were straight from the tins.
I'll try the Beasts again to see what the difference is between the 2.
adjusting for speed

interseting results
most people are excited about the new AEA pellets, but your rifle just doesn't like them
I still need to try them out in my RAW at distance
Don't these results just make you scratch your head and wonder?
Stick with the JSB's...your rifle loves them!!

Yep the JSB and Brocock work very well together. I am just "shooting up" some extra pellets that I have.

Thanks Thomas
I really like the targets you made!
I tried to use another from the 50yrd challenge, but the lines were a little too fine to see at 100 yards, even with a 55x scope
The red you put in the target is very easy to distinguish and makes the tageting easier at 100yards

Shot the super light 2240 carbine with a hawke 4x vantage at 10m standing indoor. Crosman 14.3 gr dome. The three pellets in the white were from my S3000-C. It took 3 pellets before I realized its not zeroed at 10m, so I grabbed something I knew was haha. Just a little break from work.

I study patterns - As I look at sooo many of our targets I can’t help but notice more drift to the left which is always a “thing” with right hand shooters as right hand flexion dominance pulls things ever so slightly to the left - especially if no right to left wind is present. Look at our cards and see if you notice it also.Hello everyone,
No rain and no wind and I wasn’t sure that I would be able to shoot in theses conditions
