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,
