What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today

Hello everyone,

OK here I am in my shop minding my own business in the peace and quite and shooting a wide verity of paper targets and having fun. Just as I get ready to pull the trigger on target #4 I hear this loud “clang-clang-bang” and it scared to poot out of me 😲 🤬. Earlier that morning I had moved some stuff on a top shelf to get another item and somehow left a half empty gallon can unbalanced near the edge. Well it fell to the floor just as I pulled the trigger and I blew the shot ☹️

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: 429
FPE: 5.5
Position: Bench w/ TPR Front and rear Bag

Baby wipes...😂! Fantastic card except for the oops Thomas! 🤗
 
Had to shovel the driveway today then took a little rest and went to the basement to shoot a few. Picked up the FWB 300 S and shot a horrible group. Struggled with the weight today. So I tried the old RWS 45. 10 meters standing off hand 5 shots. Way better than I shot the 300S.

Testing several different 18s in my (new to me) Taipan Vet Std 22. Also running some crono strings too. It’s a shooter and I’m very happy with it.

I just noticed that my pencil doesn’t have spell check because I misspelled Taipan.

Early morning shoot from December 30th with thick, but verrying fog because of a light breeze from the left moving it.
I put up the paper to check poi because I couldn't hit a Crazzy Eight paddle like it was doing on the 27th? These target are very close to the size of a Crazy Eights paddle.
5 shots each except when I loose count 😁
The good, the bad, and the ugly. 👍

Congratulations on the new .22 std Vet! Looks like a shooter as all Taipans are! Enjoy shooting it!
 
I took a break and let "Annie Oakly" shoot. I thought I'd give her a handicap shooting red dot with no rear rest - just hands.

Well, Here's the card after she did a bit of practice to get a feel for this style of shooting.

I found that their tendency is to lay claim to the guns that they do well with. There's two ways to look at that. You lost a gun, and now it needs replacing. 👍

Hello @rsfrid

Well I recognize "Annie" and it comes as no surprise that she can out shoot you any day of the week (y) . So you try and put an unfair handicap on her, but that didn't work out too well did it :D. That is some excellent shooting (y)(y)(y).

The first time I took her shooting was on our honeymoon back in 1966. She's been a natural great shooter ever since — even with shotgun, which I don't do well with at all. She asked me if I was going to shoot and I said no, this was her day. She told me I was afraid I couldn't do as well. She's right!
