Al,

Since this target is presented in a landscape format, does that mean those of us who can't rotate our traditionallly configured pellet traps/backstops to accomodate this orientation will be able to shoot the session laying on our sides? Razz

If it's a problem shoot it as a normal A4 Bob.

My attempt at a little humor. Yes I know - very little.

gun: 1322 2x BSA
Pellet: Gamo Match Wad .22
Dist/Pos: 5m / Standing / 2 Hand
Score 75/100
Time ~13 Min. (that's long for me)

The 1322 was sighted in at 10y, purposely aiming high on this was tough. No regular point of reference. Should have just broken down and adjusted the scope.

What happened to all the shooters Question

Alstone · Moderator & Site Supporter

I think some shooters like just standard type targets, and others like something out of the ordinary, the problem is getting it right each shoot.

Plus for personal reasons or the weather also makes a defence. Co2 shooters require warm conditions, some can manage 5m indoors but 10m usually needs to be shot outside, and if the weather is bad this effects any outdoor shooting, onto of this you get camera or printer problems, lack of time or just can't be bothered this time around?

But I would like to say thanks to those who make the time and effort to shoot.

I'm not going to be able to shoot for a couple of weeks due to my basement being all messed up while I paint it. I finally got it waterproofed so I am using kilz to paint ceiling walls and floor. I am going to turn it into a family room.
