Hello everyone,
Just had to shoot another 25-yard at the New target even though the wind has now picked up to 10-15. Tied my first card but I did use a 22 Plug on two of the Bulls. Both of my flags at 10-Meters and at 25-Yards were at least blowing in the same direction and at about the same speed.
Range: Outdoor 25 - Yards
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

Thomas! Wonderful cards you "enhanced" and wonderful shooting! Gonna print some out now but need to put new ink cartridges in....
...THANK YOU!Upvote 0
I did some target shooting today with my .177 vet at 43 yards . Then 4 targets at 22 yards . I was mostly shooting the 10.4 baracudas and fx branded JBS 10.3g and a couple using CPHPs . Wind was a little better than yesterday but still had to wait for it to calm .

Hello everyone,
Shooting early just after daybreak to take advantage of the wind conditions, currently at only 5-10 mph. Wind will increase up to 10 to 25 mph a bit later on. Shot the new Two Bulls Target again and increased my score by one Bull, using a scoring plug on #4 just barely missed and I goofed on #8.

The FX 10.3s are what I went with . Also the Crossman brown box 10.3s are accurate in my shorty .
It does not like the .177 Hades. It takes a bunch of shots afterwards w other pellets to get the poi back . They won't be shot out of my Vet again .

Hello @Headshots
I am guessing that you support the rifle both front and rear on bags. That is some mighty good shooting at that distance with that short rifle

Hello everyone,
I have been using the Avenger for the last month or so just to shoot Squirrels so it only gets one or two shots each day. So I decided to readjust the scope and do a bit of benchrest and shoot some paper targets with it this morning. Not surprised that it shot a perfect 200 on the first card because it hasn’t missed a tree rat even out to 45 yards.
Range: Outdoor 10-Meters
Rifle: Air Venturi Avenger Gen I, Regulated, .22 caliber
Scope: Aztec Emerald 5.5-25x50 FFP
Pellets: Rifle Premium 18.67gr
FPS: ?
FPE: ?
Wind: 5 to 10 mph

Hello @manabeknives
Those are huge holes for the .22 cal, but that is the result of the cardboard backing being blown away from previous shots. I try to offset a new paper target on the cardboard from previous holes but it doesn't always work. The Avenger has kept the Vultures well feed so far this Spring, we have eliminated around 2 dozen to date.

Hello everyone,
Wanted to re-set the Avenger and Scope for shooting squirrels and I placed the target on the 10-Meter range. The first shot was aiming at the Center Bull and note where the POI was ( blue star ). I then zeroed the scope and shot 5 rounds into each of the five Bulls. The Avenger is now ready to do some tree rat pesting .

Hello everyone,
Just a bit windy but I decided to shoot one of my hardest paper targets to score on. Using a .22 cal Scoring Plug ( if you shoot with a 22 caliber ), when you cannot see any portion of the Inner Ring you receive 10 points. Any shot within the Outer Ring scores 5 points.
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

Been working with NSA 20.2gr slugs dialing them in for accuracy and find them more forgiving than the NSA 17.5gr by just a little bit. You can see my scope adjustments above then hit Thomas's bullseye when POI seemed correct. The second pic is 4 shots after that bullseye. Slugs are fun to shoot and remind me of springers, it's really up to the shooter to ensure accuracy which in my case is, well, inconsistent at best just like my springers and me....
