Oh come on number 13
With my new vegetable garden in place I have had to rearrange the location of the 10-Meter and the 25-Yard target frames. So today I decided to shoot the 25-Yard for the first time and missed getting all 20 X’s by just one and you see which one that got me, ole #13.

, now I can work on better consistency and hopefully tighter groups once I get more reps in.Upvote 0
Was that with your RAW?View attachment 444877This is a 10 shot group @ 20yds alternating between pellets and slugs, the 2 high shots were on me and my sight picture not acquired correctly. The black dot below is made with a sharpie, my usual bullseye. Been changing my hold and sight picture routine and finally got something I am more comfortable with....I think....

That is really good grouping considering using two different styles of pellets. Nothing better than a lot of practice

Thanks for posting this picture. You and your RAW make quite a team, I must say. Great grouping.View attachment 444877This is a 10 shot group @ 20yds alternating between pellets and slugs, the 2 high shots were on me and my sight picture not acquired correctly.

Today i spent time tightening screws and scopes on the FWB 300s , FWB 600 and HW97 and remounted the two FWB scopes to be straight with the bore and gun and scopes were perfectly square and level . Fun day .

Hello everyone,
Crazy variable winds so I decided to shoot some 10-Meter paper targets this morning. Used the Rifle Premium pellets instead of the JSB and the Sniper XR is shooting them equally now. Sure nice to have two different pellets to use in the Brocock.

Rifle: Brocock Sniper XR .22 caliber
Scope: Athlon Argos BTR Gen2 10-40x56
Pellets: Rifle Premium 18.67gr

How come you’re only using that tiny area in the center of the targets? I thought you would use more of the target for your shot holes.

Hello @rsfridHow come you’re only using that tiny area in the center of the targets? I thought you would use more of the target for your shot holes.
OK here's the thing, I have seen some of your targets where you do very little damage to the paper and I just wanted to be like you .....

Hello everyone,
The wind had laid down a bit so I decided to shoot some 25-Yard paper targets this afternoon. I shot 10 times at the “sighters” to zero in the scope and kind of test the wind.
The Brocock Sniper XR seemd to be shooting a fresh new Tin of JSB pellets OK so I moved up to the top left target and shot, ...... , what the heck, missed the whole target. Shot a second pellet and no hole ?? Check the wind flags and fired off a third round and zippy-do-dah, NO HOLE ??? I moved down and shot all three targets on the bottom perfectly ???? I then moved up to the center line and shot a 9 on the right target, that can’t be right, so I shot again and Bingo a perfect hit. Then I shot the next two on that line with perfect hits. OK, moved back up to the top line and shot three 9's, what the heck is going on here.
I go outside to retrieve the target and I notice a bright shinny object on my new garden fence, ( photos 2 and 3 ) a broken wire on the fence. SO, my pellets were hitting the fence and ricochet off to ????? Well now wait just a minute, I shot a perfect card yesterday on this 25-yard frame ........ er, uh, dummy you moved the frame when you mowed, dang,

Not bad shooting! It’s hard to hit that skinny little wire. But just a hint, I'd suggest removing that wire if you want to hit paper — but that's just my opinion.Hello everyone,

And another thing — all that green grass may be interfering with the pellet flight. My grass is white and my pellets in the basement fly very true. Just sayin'
