Remember MOA = .07” at 7 yards! That's pretty impossible unless rested and very still hold. The slightest movement might change poi by a pellet's width. That's great at 25 yards, but a disaster at 7 yards.

Hello everyone,
Sure feels good to have time to shoot some paper targets
. I have spent the last month building a vegetable garden with four raised beds divided with paver stones and a six-foot high fence to keep the dang deer out 
. I arranged the raised beds so that I would have an open aisle that I could still shoot all of my outdoor target frames. I took this photo through the opening of the 10-Meter target frame looking back at my shooting window. You cannot see it but I had to cut a small opening in the fence material to have a clean shot out to the targets. Felt real good to shoot a perfect 250 points on this target and I am now ready to shoot a bunch more .
Range: Outdoor 10-Meters
Rifle: Brocock Sniper XR .22 caliber
Scope: Athlon Argos BTR Gen2 10-40x56
Pellets: JSB Jumbo Heavy 18.13gr
FPS: 834
FPE: 28
Wind: 5 to 10 mph

That's lots of work just to keep the deer out. I had to go to just about this much to keep the squirrels out!Upvote 0
WE gave up gardening , so many Amish here with a wagon out by the road . they plant early and often so produce all summer .Fantastic! When you can, please post pics of those $18.00 each cucumbers!
the one farm we go to most does sweet corn , fresh picked when you buy it (kids) they also can the corn fresh from the field and sealed in canning jars within a hour from picking . Now for the air gun part . i am bringing my guns there and they shoot and learn , Family already bought two pumpers in .22 (392's)

Hello @rsfridFantastic! When you can, please post pics of those $18.00 each cucumbers!
Well the cost has gone up so the Cucumbers will be $19.75 each, Tomatoes approximately $32.00 each and that is based on if I get lucky and actually produce any fruit
. Hey if nothing else, it looks good .ThomasT

I had a chance to shoot my new to me Avanti Valiant 177 today. I've wanted a CZ200 action rifle for a loooooooong time, and I'm so glad I finally bought one. Air Arms 10.3 gr, full 10 rnd mag at each bull 18 yards. I started at the lower left with a 200 bar fill. Two low shots disappeared when I did a 190 bar fill. I shot groups with a Vector Veyron fixed 10x scope. Then I fitted on my Pard in case a rat or mouse show up at the feeder tonight.
The holes with the black marker are from zeroing my Pard at the lower left number 3.
I love this rifle.

Hello everyone,
Well to make up for lost time shooting paper targets this past month, I took advantage of a beautiful morning and shot a boat load of them. Even with a bit more wind than would be perfect conditions the Brocock Sniper XR was really shooting great. I shot the Texas Crazy 32 for my last card and I like shooting this because it requires “setting up” after each target and this make me stop and think on each shot.
Range: Outdoor 10-Meters
Rifle: Brocock Sniper XR .22 caliber
Scope: Athlon Argos BTR Gen2 10-40x56
Pellets: JSB Jumbo Heavy 18.13gr
FPS: 834
FPE: 28
Wind: 10 to 15 mph
