Hello @joeyw007
Great shooting, No. 11 scores a 9. It's had to tell from a photo but No.17 and 18 may or may not score using a Plug. It really doesn't matter that much when you shoot an excellent card like this. You have no question, "gotten the hang" of this hobby.

Thanks a lot, funny the last time I referred to air gunning as a hobby some folks had it out for me. Looks like I'm in the right place. I love this hobby.Hello @joeyw007

Rifle: Brocock Sniper XR .22 caliber
Scope: Athlon Argos BTR Gen2 10-40x56
Pellets: JSB Jumbo Heavy 18.13gr

FPE: 28
Wind: zero mph

Hello @manabeknives
Boy it was "one of those days", this morning. It's summer time so the start of a day is a bit warm but with no wind if felt even warmer. However it makes for some great shooting, every target that I shot was a good one so I was tempted to set up in the shop and try the 30-Yard Challenge. I had just switch to a new Tin of pellets on that #3 General target and the BRK never noticed any change. You are correct, this rifle is a Keeper, but as you also know I do change quite often

Hello everyone,
Shot this paper target late evening just before dark. I sometimes do a shoot that I call “Purpose Shoot”, and what I mean by that is I literally stop and think about each procedure before and while pulling the trigger. I ran out of JSB in one Tin earlier and opened a Tin of AA Diabolo Field Heavy 18gr pellets and I wanted to do as close of a comparison as possible, so I went into my “Purpose” mode. With that said, shots 6 and 15 are “pellet error”. Shooting from my rifle rest I am able to keep my eye on the Center Dot Reticle of the scope after the pellet impact. If the POI is not “under” the Center Dot, then I consider that either the wind or the pellet was the error. In both cases on 6 and 15 the scope was still dead center of the Bull. Bottom line, in my experience the AA’s shoot very well but do have fliers more often than the JSB.
Range: Outdoor 10-Meters
Rifle: Brocock Sniper XR .22 caliber
Scope: Athlon Argos BTR Gen2 10-40x56
Pellets: AA Diabolo Field Heavy 18gr
FPS:
FPE:
Wind: 10 to 15 mph

Hello @Peashooter
Actually I print my targets on just plain paper. However my target frame has a 1-1/2" offset and open on the sides from where I mount the paper target to the metal backstop. On rare occasions I will get a little splatter and that is normally when I am shooting 10-Meters. At 25-yards and greater I never see any splatter. Really helps when scoring.
