What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today

Scope: Athlon Argos BTR Gen2 10-40x56

Thomas! Glad the rain relented enough for you to get some chooting in! Great card and I do like the 2 bullseye card!

I shot this from the window of my office before it became too dark. Love the Talos 10x in low light, and during the day. The barrel seems to be seasoning in since the barrel cleaning earlier. I made a few clicks throughout. Started at the bottom and moved up.

Hello everyone,

Heavy rain again all morning so it gave me some time to Clean, Oil and mount a Scope on my new Beeman Model 2028 .22 cal Pistol . After zeroing the scope on another target I shot this “test” using the three Wadcutter Pellets as listed. I have two more Wadcutters that I will test tomorrow. Over time I plan to make a number of modification to this Pistol and use it for my 15-Foot Indoor Range and Outdoors on the 10-Meter Range.

Range: Indoors at 15-Feet
Pistol: Beeman 2028, .22 caliber
Scope: Hawke Vantage 2-7x32 SFP
Pellets: Wadcutters, see list
FPS: ?
FPE: ?

Thomas, congratulations on your new B 2028 pistola! Have fun shooting it and finding it's food of choice to shoot accurately....

Hello everyone,

Still lightly raining but I just had to shoot at least one paper target with my new Air Venturi Avenger Wood Stock rifle. Hopefully this Avenger will be as accurate as my other one. Did my normal cleaning and oiling and then mounted the Scope. The high shot on #18 ( blue circle ) was the first shot and then adjustments and the second shot ( blue circle ) on the word “off”. More adjustments and the third shot on the first sighter and not too far off. Three more shots with some fine tuning and a dead center POI. This is very encouraging for a brand new rifle.

Hello @Ranchibi

Thank you Randal, I hope to get this fine tuned for my Winter indoor shooting Pistol. I hope that I can get the trigger "cleaned up" and with a lighter pull and a lot better feel. It's heavy for a Pistol, which is good, because I will be shooting it on my bench out in the shop.

Just wanted to shoot my big bore. I totally failed on the two I missed. It was shooting a little left so I held most of them. I will get it on a rest tomorrow and re zero. I shot off a window bag on my casement window and I was sitting on my knees on a bench.

Hello everyone,

Shot the other two Wadcutter Pellets this morning with the Beeman 2028 Pistol and it looks like I have two that are very close in accuracy. I will do more comparison shooting using the RWS Sport Line 11.9gr against the RWS Professional Line 14gr at 15-Feet. Just for additional information, I did zero the scope for each pellet and I filled the cylinder to 2,600psi for each pellet.

Hello everyone,

Just shot this card using the RWS 11.9gr Wadcutters and really pleased with the accuracy of this Pistol considering I’m still using the Factory setting on the trigger at 4-pounds of pull. Boy that takes a BUNCH of concentration for this old man . Lost it on the fourth target, I was all over the place .

Hello @manabeknives

I like the feel of a "firm" trigger but man 4-pounds is not even close to firm. This is the heaviest pull of any gun that I have ever shot. That card wore me out

[Chief Ten-Beers]

Thats Me! lol Even the Avenger trigger as light as it will go is still much more than I like. If there was a way to take the Trgger from My Tikka T3 Lite, I'd do it in a Heartbeat!

Kinda funny — when I'm shooting my Glocks, 4 pounds is about right. When I'm shooting my HW44, 4 ounces is about right.

Hello @rsfrid

Well 4-ounces is a bit light for me, but I'll take that over 4-pounds.

I shot some more at a warm up target and my problem is that I cannot tell when the "break" comes. It is already over and I am caught off guard. Well not a problem because that will get fixed.

My RAW rifles are about 7-8 ounces!

 

[Ranchibi]

Thomas, wonderful shooting especially with a 4lb trigger pull! Like Mike said above, I would probably miss the target card altogether...

 

[Ranchibi]

I FINALLY had a perfect first shot...and I quickly quit after shooting it this morning . RAW .22 JSB 18gr 20yds. Probably will never happen again, at least in my lifetime LOL!
