What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today

[beerthief]

Hello everyone,

This is my first shot “warm-up” paper target for the day and I only shot three of the nine bulls. Often times I will shoot up to three warm-up targets to get the gun and scope dialed in and myself comfortable shooting. I shot 5 times at bull #1 and #2 and 10 times at bull #3 and never tore or touched the 10-Ring . I decided that three “one-hole” were good enough to go ahead and shoot some real targets. Sure wish I could start every day like this.

Range: 10-Meters Outdoors
Rifle: Air Venturi Avenger .22 caliber
Scope: Athlon Argos BTR Gen2 10-40x56
Pellets: JSB Jumbo Heavy 18.13gr
FPS: 834
FPE: 28
Wind: 5-10 mph

Hello @beerthief

Thank you, what a pleasant surprise this morning. I hope to shoot a bunch of paper later on this afternoon after I get back from town.

I was getting my PP700SA back in service. I swapped in the 22 cal barrel and did some quick and dirty tuning. Luckily I docuemnted some of the exploits on this forum back in 2021, those helped me get close. I adjusted the pard as I shot, but the target was mostly just used as I recorded chrony numbers

Rifle: Aetemis PP700SA Altros reg
Scope: Pard DS35 50mm
Pellets: FX 15.9gr
FPS: 667

I needed to add light or switch to IR, it was a little dark in the garage to make them out haha.

I balanced the rifle on a front rest. it is always rewarding shooting this cheap little carbine.

Learning more about using a front rest that i just received.
It's not as simple as placing the rifle on it and shooting..i did think that..silly me
balance points and positioning of rear bags for recoil are new to me
The 1st shot was a cold shot..but not that bad for a cold shot..but i can't do that for a comp
it's going to be the little changes that will make a difference between a 10 and an X
shots were from indoor at 10m
rest is an AR 250 by Christopher Lionel. He's the son of Sebastian Lionel or SEB rests used in F class

Been shooting at trees. Trees are a form of paper. Pre-paper. Paper to be. Paper in waiting. Paper eggs. Embryonic paper.

Lovely card! One of my favorite target sheets — been shooting that target myself, since Smallbore days many years ago. Which gun were you using?

 

[manabeknives]

Hi Ross
I am using a Skout Epoch in .22
I have the bull barrel instead of the OEM

Hello @Air King

Well did you hit any of those trees . If I get a target that already has a hole in it, I will know who shot the Pre-Paper

[Peashooter]

I shot a BR50 paper as BR55 M yesterday, but not enough X to share, and for sure not the 2 shots that somehow decided to hit in the black ring.

But there is more papers where that came from, and i am still game.

Hello @manabeknives

This is my third Air Venturi Avenger and it is amazing how accurate they are right out of the box. With very little tuning they become very accurate. My first one I spent a lot of time working on the barrel polishing the bore. I also turned down the power just a tad bit. The second one I just did a normal ( well for me ) bore polish and if you remember it was laser accurate out to 25-yards. I'm still 100 plus pellets away from polishing the bore on this rifle and I am hoping it improves the accuracy some. Dollar for dollar I believe they are the best buy for a PCP air rifle. Some where down the line I might buy another one and do the Buck Rail conversion on it .
