Too bad i forgot to take a PIC of the single 55 M 15 - 20 shot group i shot with the last of the JSB heavy pellets, all went in one growing and in the end triangular hole, and then 1 flier on either side a half inch or so out, and also had a shot drop a half inch below.
I did go " REALLY " a few times during those last pellets.

Went back to the range for more 100yard paractice.
I kinda was disappointed in yesterdays performance, so i removed the barrel and did a hardcore polish ..about 1.5k strokes in a progressive fashion.
500 in the 1st 1/3 - another 500 to the middle 1/3 - and 500 going the full length, followed by waxing the bore
I am sure glad i did the polish instead of messing with the settings..just got to believe in my abilities.
I wanted to keep the shots within the 8 ring. Did a much better job than yesterday!
Very,Very happy with the results today ...may still do another polish?? yes/no ??

My last match was quite a disappointment. For some reason I was hitting all over the target while two days earlier I was hitting 10 round quarter size groups. At the match I could aimed for my big toe and missed. Today the winds calmed so out for practice and it was 60 shots into the quarter size group. More practice is in order, match in 2 weeks.

Sound like you got same mental problem i have, enter competition and performance instantly drop
Hell once as a kid shooting 200 M, on the lane next to me was the National champion, and he saw me shooting several X in my first 5 warm up shots, and commented on that.
Resulting in my 20 shots that counted, well i have rarely shot that bad.
All due to a comment

This was with my Hatsan FlashPup QE .22 at 25yds with JTS dead center 16.08g shooting from a table at my target area. I can stretch out to 40, but im almost sitting in the street then.

I felt like I was down on accuracy with a different pellet so I put up some paper to have a look.
HW 97K .20 at 75 yards apx 50 rounds.

That's looks fantastic!
Your accuracy, and your rifle's accuracy looks spot on!
Looks like a relaxing place to shoot
