What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today

I braved the weather today and toughed it out to test some pellets outdoors at 50Y in a couple newly acquired RAW HM1000X’s.

Hello everyone,

I removed the RedDot scope from the Stormrider this morning and installed the Hawke Vantage 2-7x32 scope. Cool clear skies with 10-15mph wind so I set out a warm up target at 10-Meters to zero the scope and it only took a few shots. I wanted to test the rifle for some Squirrel shooting so I set out this Silhouette target at 10-Meters and shot 5 times. Pretty close to placing all 5 shots in one hole so I am satisfied that it is ready.

Range: Outdoors at 10-Meters
Pistol: Diana Stormrider Gen2, .22cal
Scope: Hawke Vantage 2-7x32
Pellets: AA Accuracy Plus 13.43gr
FPS: 814
FPE: 19.76
Position: Bench with TPRR

Tim! 2 new .30 RAW's in laminate stocks shooting spot on @ 50yds in windy conditions....CONGRATULATIONS and boy, that is some wonderful groups with BOTH! I am glad to see you came back to these incredible platforms!
 
Well, after a long hiatus with my foot up and bandaged, I got to shoot. This card is for another shooting event this winter but I thought I'd post here. Eventually, I plan to score Xs only if hole is totally within the 10 ring - just to increase the challenge. But for today, I scored with a scoring plug.

Thanks Randall. One is new to me and the other is brand new, both acquired during some recent “horse trading”. I’ve had a couple RAW 22s and a 25 but none shot as accurately as these two 30’s. My previous RAWs were pre AirForce and the 30’s are post AirForce. I read a lot of support for pre AF but I sure am liking these two post AF offerings. I plan to stretch these two out to 100Y as soon as I can get some decent weather but here in OH that is the great unknown.

I really forgot how utterly sublime these RAW triggers are. I was shooting with gloves on and had several premature boom switch events. I’m Not complaining at all.

Ross, that is some kind of special shooting right there. Glad to see that you are able to get back at it again.

Tim, in my guesstimation...there is no difference between pre AF and after in build quality. One can get both built to ones specs I believe 👍. Enjoy shooting both!

Hello everyone,

Late start for me to shoot some paper targets today but finally was able to set up in the shop and shoot some. And yes, as you can see I did make an adjustment to the scope and moved the POI to the dead center on this target. The more I shoot these AA 13.43gr pellets the more this gun loves them.

Range: Indoors at 15-feet
Pistol: .22Cal Custom PP-800 R Pistol/Carbine w/full Buck Rail AR Conversion
Scope: UTG Bug Buster 3-9x32
Pellets: AA Accuracy Plus 13.43gr
FPS:
FPE:
Position: Bench w/ TPR Front and rear Bag

Hello @manabeknives

I cleaned the barrel last night after shooting the last pellets out of the first AA Tin. Tim / @igolfat8 had recommended trying theses AA pellets and they sure do shoot well in this pistol. So I now have just over 500 of these pellets down the barrel and very pleased how they shoot.

Looks like you need to use smaller bullseye targets, like those of 50ft benchrest or 25m benchrest to get a real gauge of accuracy. Aim small, miss small. I use a bunch of different but prefer the smaller the better for accuracy testing. Great shooting!

Hello everyone,

The other day @Bramezy suggested that I should try shooting a paper target with a smaller 10-Ring. Well my all time favorite target to shoot is the “General 3.0" and the OD of the 10-Ring is only .250". Shooting a .22 caliber AA 13.43 pellet that has an OD of .2225" should present a really good challenge.

I shot one warm up target and fine tuned the scope a tad bit. Then I set up this General Target and took a good amount of time on each shot and wound up with this result. To be honest, I am completely satisfied with the accuracy of this little Pistol and really enjoy shooting it.
