What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today

I has my .177 Avenge-X at the indoor range today. I was shooting 50-feet front a rest using AA 10.3 Field Heavy pellets.

I shot some NRA A-17 targets. This was the best of them.

I also shot the harder 50-feet target the USA 50/50 which has a period for a 10 ring.

I like the AA Falcons 4.52 (you can put a straight edge across those bulls )

Hello @beerthief

You noticed that, did - ya ...... well so did I 🤩 . I might have to order several more tins of these :D. I have six more different brands and weights to shoot in the morning. I really like shooting the Wadcutters because of the clean round holes but none of them shoot quite as good as the domed pellets.

Thanks Thomas T. I enjoy looking at the targets you and others put up. As a long time pb competitor the accuracy from the PCPs at 100yd and beyond I find amazing, but too similar to pbs Now spring guns have been a new and interesting challenge to me. I tried for years to get my wife to shoot benchrest. Zilch interest, could not get her to do it . I knew it would fit her personality. That 1 shot I talked her into shooting out of my first D75 opened a new world for her. She has heard me tell other shooters for years your only shooting against the target . Beat the target is the goal, and the answer. She has listened and thrived.

Hello everyone,

Shot the last six tins of various brands and weights of Domed Pellets in the Bandit this morning. One surprise was how well the H&N Power 8.8gr ( copper ) pellet shot, I have never had any gun shoot these worth a crap.

Overall results are if I were to zero any one of the Wadcutter and or Domed pellets to this Pistol they would shoot OK for everyday plinking. Several will shoot accurately enough for some serious target shooting.

I will remove the barrel and do a complete cleaning and do one more light polish job.
