This was a tough one, I think it all has to do with timing. Neutral

10m with the scoped Phantom and RWS wad cutters, standing.

Time: 13 mins

Scored 60/200

Mar · Veteran Member

My after diner shoot with the pistol is much better.

Custom Crosman 2240 scoped
Crosman wad cutters
Standing 2-hand hold
Distance 5m/16.4 ft
Score; 140/200
Time: 7 mins.

The one turkey, hole is too sloppy to properly use my hole gauge, it's a 50/50 call.

Fun, fun, fun. Smile

I always look forward to shooting.

I just noticed I made it on the wall of fame. Very Happy

But where's Woody61?

Here I am

Nice shooting Mar, last week and this week as well.
Steyr LP1 pistol, Beeman Laser Sport pellets, 5 meters, one handed, iron sights, 10 minutes, 140/200. I have a marginal hit on the first chicken I would like to have taken.
I will try to shoot the rifle tomorrow, this is a fun target. But then, I have enjoyed every target so far.

Mar · Veteran Member

If I can't beat you then at least I can tie you. Smile

Nice shooting. My grips are on the way, hopefully that will help also.

Jim McArthur · Veteran Member

This is a good target, I've shot it before on another postal match (used every week there, actually).

Hope I have time to shoot at least one comp this week: the holidays aren't helping my schedule any... Crying or Very sad

I had to try out the rifle, but I shot better with the pistol Crying or Very sad

Beeman R7, RWS pellets, iron sights, 10 meters, 12 minutes, 110/200.

Mar · Veteran Member

Well Woody...guess we play alone this week so far. Nice shooting with the rifle, I just couldn't get steady enough, haven't found my happy stance yet.

Maybe I should just get back to snap shooting again. Laughing

Woody61 · Member

I feel like I'm steady as a rock, it's those pesky animals that won't hold still Mr. Green

Mar · Veteran Member

Almost like the real thing.

How do you hold your rifle? Elbow against the body or hand on the forearm with stock handle arm up as in hunting form?

Hey everybody, Merry Christmas!

Well I shot this one pretty quick, and was doing good until I got to those chickens! Man, those just killed my score! I started to get rattled then. I was on track for about a 150, but freaked out and had to settle for a 130/200. Maybe next time! I'll try to submit a rifle target yet tomorrow. But I'm not too great at Air Rifle, in fact way worse then with a pistol, but I'll give it a go anyways! : )

Pellet: RWS Hobby
Stance: Standing one hand (right)
Time: 12 minutes
Distance: 5 meters
Score: 130/200
