Evening all
Back at 50 for more practice. One thing I just noticed on these targets. It say that 200 is a perfect score, but there are 24 targets :ROFLMAO: So I will score from 240. I didn’t “lead-up” the barrel on the first target and it shows. The results on second target are much more consistent than the first. This is getting fun again:LOL:

Hello @manabeknives

Both cards shot very well, but you must be very pleased with card number 2. I cannot enlarge your photo ( ? ) but #21 could be a 10.

Mike I designed this target to "allow" four mulligans, so you can not count up to four Bulls or score up to 240 points.

Hello everyone,

Haven’t been able to shoot for 2-1/2 days due to sever thunder storms. Now that weather has passed and a Front is moving through with winds in excess of 30 mph, making accuracy impossible. But dog-gone-it I did shoot some paper even though it’s not real pretty.

Range: Outdoor 10-Meters
Rifle: Air Venturi Avenger Gen I, Regulated, .22 caliber
Scope: Aztec Emerald 5.5-25x50 FFP
Pellets: RWS Superpoint 14.5gr
FPS: ?
FPE: ?
Wind: 20 to 35 mph variable

Hello @rsfrid

I haven't shot any indoors so far this Winter, most of the time it has been really nice outside and I have had a bunch of shop projects. When I am working on a shop project normally I cannot shoot indoors or I choose not to. The wind is still howling so I will not shoot this afternoon.

Hello @Ranchibi

You know, it's not pretty but I am pleased with the overall results. I would sit and wait for the wind and big leaves would blow past my window parallel to the ground :oops: . My yard is covered with broken tree branches so to be able to even hit anywhere on the paper was an achievement :D .

Pellets: JSB Jumbo Heavy 18.13gr

50 foot flyspeck target shot at 20 yards indoors using my Thomas .177 BR and 1 piece rest. The inside diameter of the circle is 0.335. Scoring - 1 or 0. Cannot touch the inside edge of the circle or it is a 0. Must be plugged with a 0.224 plug. The above card plugged 8/25.

At 20 yards indoors my average 5 shot group dispersion for 4 groups is 0.219 edge to edge. All shots fell within that dispersion.

Tough target.
A member of Palmyra Sportsmens Club, who has set a 6400 outdoor world record, shot an 80 out of 100 in 100 minutes at 50 feet in the PSA small bore prone league. I moved my Thomas BR rig up to 50 feet and only shot a 15/25 in 50 minutes and stopped. I am going to shift to my FX Impact M3 at 50 feet and give it a go off bipod and shoulder sitting at the bench.
