Good luck to everyone!

Do you need maximum power to shoot the PowerMaster 66 at 20m/64ft? Nobody came close to 30 minutes on the last shoot for 30 shots- so speeding it up (with a much bigger target) seemed about the only way to make it a bit more challenging. Give it a try- you might surprise yourself!   Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2007 5:21 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" I had some time this afternoon- so I completed the shoot. This time I actually sighted the gun in reasonably. Except for 3 or 4 strays- this shoot is all my own (in-)ability! -68ºF -steady 5km breeze w/sporadic 20km/h gusts across shooting range -60% R.H. start time: 16:22, end time: 16:34, total 12 minutes Crosman Quest with 4x32scope using .177 Crosman Premier Hollow Points (ran out of .177 Wadcutters the other day). Score: 217 out of 250. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

It does look prettier. Plus I think you scored 219? My entry for week 2 Airgun = Umarex Winchester 94 Cal= .177 Pellet= Bisley Target Pratice Sight= Peep sight Temperature= 20c Wind= Nill Time= 11-30 to 11-38 Score= 227 I'm quite pleased with this result considering I had the wife chatting in my ear about a new carpet, at one time I nearly had a choice of targets, luckily for the wife I chose this one.

Uh oh: I know how you thought '219' on my score- there are two holes which were very close to the borders- I chose to call them on the lower point value as it was hard to tell if the pellet actually hit the line, or just ripped the paper enough to make it look that way. So, 217 or 219? Doesn't matter if you have 227!   Posted: Tue Sep 18, 2007 9:04 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND Brilliant! I will treasure that and show it to the wife each time she gives me grief Al   Posted: Tue Sep 18, 2007 9:31 am StevieLaner7777 Moderator Joined: 07 Mar 2007 Posts: 1060 Location: Herefordshire, UK LOL! Eric! What did you use to make the newspaper effect??? Very impressive!

The idea is that this competition is from an unsupported, standing, off-hand position. Sitting is probably close enough if you're not using anything else to support the gun. Someone may have to correct me here- but I don't think it's a big deal, especially so if someone has a requirement to go this way- like a broken leg or the like. The next competition I think we will definitely go with a "rest" of some sort- i.e. bipod, sandbag, etc. but probably use a much smaller target as well. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

Not really off hand shooting.
