Hello everyone,
OK taking into consideration what @cavedweller stated about right handed shooters, I paid extra close attention today. I did over compensate a bit on the first three shots but settled in on the remaining seventeen targets. I also paid close attention to the wind velocity and direction which was 5 to 10 mph and at the 2 o’clock direction relative to my position. I tried to shoot with the Center Reticle Dot just a hair to the right of the vertical cross line.
Range: Outdoor 10-Meters
Rifle: Brocock Sniper XR .22 caliber
Scope: Athlon Argos BTR Gen2 10-40x56
Pellets: JSB Jumbo Heavy 18.13gr
FPS: 834
FPE: 28
Wind: 5 to 10 mph @ 2 O’clock

Hello everyone,
OK put on my competition face this morning to shoot some paper targets. I got my mind set to shoot the best target that I could and I would incorporate all of my usual techniques but concentrate on the POI. I also considered the actual wind velocity and direction before each shot. Before @cavedweller pointed out the tendency of a right handed shooter to “normally” shoot a bit more to the left, I had become a bit relaxed. I am really pleased with the results on this card, and I only completely broke the ring on a couple of targets out of the 20.

Hello @beerthief
Thank you, small little details that we often overlook sure can improve on accuracy.

9 shots with NSA 17.5gr thru my RAW @ 20yds. The 2 high and one low misses were my fault as usual....
. Aim point was the number above the bullseye. Thomas, really am enjoying this target you modified!Upvote 0

Randal that is some close grouping
. For those folks that have not downloaded a copy of this target, the White portion ( inside ) the circle in the Square is only .225" . Those slugs sure leave a clean hole.ThomasT

I wasn't happy with my accuracy with the lowest TP setting, so I went to second to last and found my hold for pests at my bird feeder.
This is my Concept Lite XR. It is shooting 18gr @ 30 FPE at maximum TP setting.

Took out my RAW .22 to 50yards and shot 2 cards Used the AEA 25.3 from the tin.
1st card is nothing special ..got into a groove for the 2nd card, but then wasn't paying attention to wind shifts on #23 and made same mistake on #24..ugh
practice paractice practice...hopefully i will learn from my errors ..hopefully

Been working diligently on my hold and sight picture with slugs and really enjoy Thomas's revised card shooting NSA 17.5gr slugs thru my RAW. The last bullseye is 9 shots as I adjusted the turrets.

Those pests don't stand a chance with accuracy like that!

That work you been putting in clearly has been paying off

Mike! Thank you! Lots of fun work but I still make mistakes on my set up, it's never the RAW's fault!
Just trying to be as consistent in my set up each and every time.....Upvote 0
