What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today

Jump to latest Follow Reply
I had a dud last night / X mas as we Danes do on the 24.
Figured i shoot a little at friends place before dinner, that was a no go, had to support my little sister hitting rock bottom getting terrorized by her psychopath youngest daughter.
After dinner, well the mood wasent quite there and mice / rats not at all there, and getting up today, okay the wind was manageable and from a good direction, but just could not be bothered, so packed my car and said my goodbyes to my friend and drove home.

My money are now on FRI / SAT that seem to be very nice days however just 8 deg C temperatures.

I am dialed for 13 grain Zan slugs by chance, so figure i make some holes in stuff way down in the corner of the field.

Today I jumped out into the shop to polish off the last of the Co2 cartridge from yesterday. And had to do some trap maintenance.
But after that these ten shots made my Christmas merry.
That’s five shot groups from fifteen feet off hand with a Crosman 2300S.

Hello everyone,

It has been 6 days since I shot any paper targets. I have had a bunch of new ( small ) squirrels invading my property and have focused on them. I had re-zeroed my scope for 25-yards because most of my shots have been in the 15 to 25 yard range. I did not change the setting on the scope to shoot this target but tried to hold off the correct amount. As you can see I didn’t do a very good job, however it has been a different story for the squirrels. I have been averaging 4 out of 5 with the squirrels so I will leave the scope setting alone for now.

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

I was ringing steel here - there and everywhere, from 30 yards to130 having a really good time, so in 6 hours i dispatched 800 13 gr Zan slugs, not least thanks to my NV500 scope i had to bring into play as the sun set.

It would seem with the 2 mouse i shot a little while ago, critter activity at our feed station have dropped to 0, so no need to linger in the shot shed after dark these days.

Also i assume you all know the airgunners anthem, if not i hint at it in my little video.

Hello everyone,

Yesterday I installed an Altaros Regulator in my Diana Stormrider. I also tried to install a new Pressure Gauge with Fill Valve but it turned out to be defective. So now I only have the Regulator Pressure and no Cylinder Pressure reading. Boy what a bummer, it took almost a month for the parts to arrive and I was really anxious to get this rifle completely upgraded :( .

I reinstalled the scope and set up this paper target out at 10-meters to rezero the scope. I shot at the center target first and just barely missed to the left, so I made a 4-click adjustment and finished shooting 5 shots at each target :). This will be my entry for a Competition Target for the day.

Range: Outdoors at 10-Meters
Pistol: Diana Stormrider Gen2, .22cal with regulator
Scope: Hawke Vantage 2-7x32
Pellets: AA Accuracy Plus 13.43gr
FPS: 787
FPE: 18.47
Position: Bench with TPRR

Shot my 177 cal HW44 first just to get warmed up. Forgot to turn off basement fan which sits right next o backstop!

Then for kicks I shot my 22cal HW44 for groups. It hosts an Ultradot Matchdot II reddot, so it was hard to see the center bull at 7 yards. I also was playing with zero as I shot a couple of those groups - mainly windage. These are 5 shot groups using Baracuda Hunters sorted. The pistol was rested for these shots.

Hello @rsfrid

That is two well shot cards and near perfect on the first card. Those Hunters leave nice clean holes (y) .

Hello @Ranchibi

Yeah Wes has already shipped to me another Fill/Gauge. However it might take another month or more. The postal strike in Canada has screwed up shipping so badly that I might never get it. I tried to buy a USPS shipping label to return the defective unit to Wes but USPS is not taking any shipments to Canada. I spent almost an hour messing around on that damn USPS website trying to fill in all of the required ( stupid stuff ) information and then finally at the end I get this message:

"Sorry, but Canada isn’t accepting packages right now because USPS has blocked it due to transportation problems."

Funny that their website could have / should have simply made that statement at the very beginning when I selected Canada :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Oh well the sun rose anyway this morning ...... well at least I think it did, I was socked in with heavy fog :rolleyes:
