Yup! Those targets aren’t the easiest to see with the Pard DS35 during the day under direct sunlight, but I was happy.

What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today
- Thread starter ThomasT
- Start date
I was just shooting at 10M, rapid firing 5 shot groups for chrono shot strings with 16 grain pellets Not really concerned about accuracy but looking back it’s OK considering.

Received a batch of the .22 Grands that I wanted to test in the RTI P3
I used the targets that Thomas made. Exactly like the 100 yard EBR targets.
i tried them out at 100 yards. First at 950-960 fps and then I lowered the speed for the third and forth rows..
still a bit messy. 930’s looked ok, but not what I am looking for in accuracy.
I did 11 shot groups…a full magazine per target.
i will go back and try again at some lower speeds
the best things about this session were the targets...Thanks Thomas!!

Not all that bad, though. After all, 100 is difficult for most shooters on a great day. I realize you were looking for tighter groups (we all do) but those groups are pretty fair for pellets at a 100.

Wonderful card there with your venerable Sheridan beerthief! Yeah...cleaning a barrel seems to always give a POI shift......

Thanks for the encouragement Ross
I do get hard on myself. I just always feel i can do better..hopefully, the groups will get smaller with work.
btw...on those sissor lifts, is there a way to either lock it in place once you get to a desired height?
Thanks

Great card!

For not caring about accuracy, they shot very consistently

Hello @manabeknives
On some models you do have a lock to hold the position, however the lighter weight models you cannot.
Look at the attached photo of the one I used on my Rifle Rest and the Brass Screw on the side is the lock.

ahhh..i see
i went with the cheap one .. it will do the job, but will move lower when nudged
i'm still glad i got one...maybe i can put something on the threads to give more resistance ..the opposite of a grease?
Thanks

Thanks @manabeknives. I was just trying to tune both guns in the sub 600 area with Hades for using as barn pesting guns. The Notos was averaging 590 before I installed the plenum then it jumped up to 610 with the HS all the way out, arrrgggghhhh. Now I have to tear it apart AGAIN to tweak the reg. My P-rod is spot on at 590 for 3 mags in the sweet spot. Both have SD's in the 6's. I shot both outside the other day at their 25Y zero's and the P-rod had tighter groups which was opposite of what I expected seeing the 10M targets.For not caring about accuracy, they shot very consistently
what was the chrony reading??
Mike
BTW, Your 100Y targets look pretty darn good IMO and some of those cards would have qualified you for the finals in most of the big national 100Y matches. If you could shoot mostly 8's and 9s consistently then you are in the zone, at least in the pellet only matches.

Thanks Ross. I had high hopes for the notos when stretching it's legs outdoors but the P-Rod bested it the other day when I was zeroing both at 25Y. However the conditions were not the greatest so more testing to do do before I can declare a winner.Yeah, that Notos and its operator make a great pair
