What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today

[Ranchibi]

Hello @Ranchibi

That looks like it was perfectly smoked and plenty juicy

ThomasT

Thomas...thank you kind sir! I do brisket the Texas way, wrapping in butcher her paper (pink) @ 170 degrees then keep smoking till finished then wrap in aluminum foil and towels and let rest in a dry cooler. It makes smoking brisket much easier in my humble opinion.....

Hello everyone,

Starting a new post “What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today”. With Spring right around the corner we will be setting up our outdoor ranges shooting Paper Targets and other items. But I would like this thread to be exclusive shooting Paper Targets ONLY. There are a lot of really good Competition and Challenge threads on the Forum where we can offer our shot targets for the day. Here we can post all the other Paper Targets that we shoot and then share here. You can share any and all information about the target, gun, pellet, range, distance, weather conditions, etc, etc. that you wish. I am hoping this will encourage more folks to get out and shoot at least one Paper Target everyday.

I will start by offering a 25-Yard Score MOA target that I shot this morning before the rain started, with a score of 249. Used my FX Crown MK II .177 caliber rifle, with FX 13.4gr 4.52mm pellets, at 25-yards, cloudy overcast and no wind.

Great shooting! My only 249 and 248 was in an indoor range at 25 yards with a RAW TM1000.

Hello @Scrench

Welcome to the group and if you want to add photos of previous shot cards that is OK.

Too funny! Never heard of a Pit Barrel smoker! Sounds cool but I use an inexpensive electric smoker, seems to work well as I've had it for about 7 years.

Hi Guys,
Spent some time getting to know my P3
I got a better feel for the way to shoot it consistenly
I used the JSB 18.13g pellets, turned down the regulator and was sending these down the barrel at 895 fps
They were shooting much better than the MRDs.
I did not want to use the Shallows for this because of the limited supply.
shot indoors 10m

Thomas, I am glad the rain relented so you could get out and SHOOT! Wonderful card sir! I cleaned my RAW's barrel last night and re-seasoned the barrel this morning with some shots.

That really is a fine shooter you have Thomas!
No flyers. and great percission!
I think i will tune my RTI for the 18.1 since it is what i have the most of in my closet. Had a case i didn't even remember buying
I tried with the 25.39 shallows in the RTI, but i think that the 25.39 are much better in my Raw
Been having wild weather on the west coast, my just be testing indoors today, i will be testing out the hold sensitivity on the RTI
Need to get the performance to the level of your Atomic ...testing testing testing
Excellent card Thomas! Keeps me striving to do more!!

Hello @manabeknives

Well I got to say that I am so pleased with this Brocock Sniper XR and how well it is shooting. It has done OK with several other pellets but I am now settled in on just the JSB 18.13 no matter how ugly some of them are right out of the Tin.

Hello everyone,

Cool overcast and absolutely no wind, so I moved the targets out to 25-Yards today. Shot couple nice paper targets and then got serious and shot this one and really took my time on each shot. Using max power with my scope the “tiny” center reticle dot gets lost on the black cross hairs of the target. So I took the time to do a slight “offset” in the upper right corner of the intersection of the cross hairs and then made a final adjustment before pulling the trigger. A little extra effort paid off with a 200 score.

Wowsa, deputy. That's some fine shooting there.

 

[rsfrid]

Decided to shoot these targets today to see if my eye and hand coordinate. Well not bad till I got to last shot on card number three (marked 10 on card). I just got cocky and didn't concentrate on my hold and released shot too soon. It happens in matches as well. Note to self: do your shooting BEFORE having three cups of coffee!

Sweet 25yard card!!
Can i loan you my P3..maybe you can teach it to do THAT!!..lol
Must be a beauty of a day for you ...really windy here to day ..several palm fronds just blew past my window
I'd probably have to aim a target and 1/2 hold-over to get near the target
Would Love to shoot that card in a competition!!
