So come on everybody get your guns out and shoot a target, that's what the things are for. Al Don't reckon I need to scan it!   Posted: Wed Oct 03, 2007 12:11 pm Jim McArthur Veteran Member Joined: 03 Sep 2007 Posts: 151 Location: New Orleans, LA, USA I don't suppose you'll insist on my scanning the target! I count 5 shots in the white. I scored a 2, 4, 10, and 12, = 28. One shot missed target completely. I shot a Beeman P3 pistol, .177, at 10 m, one-handed, standing, in my backyard, around noon, today, Wednesday, 3 October. I must say, I do better with the standard black and white 10 m target: my old myopic eyes don't handle technicolor well!

It was fun! And I wasn't kidding about doing better on black and white, single-focus targets. After I shot our competition, I went back and practiced some: shot 71 / 100 on an Olympic 10 m pistol target, and then 54 / 100 on a rifle target: all same gun, distance, shooting method. A little more practice, some improvement, and I'm going to try for NRA air pistol qualification ratings. Jim _________________ "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"

Turns out after fiddling a bit more today, part of my problem is elevation changes. At 64ft from my target, I am standing quite a bit lower than the target and at that relatively short distance and angle of shot- things get funky- so maybe I've not been entirely to blame for my competition showings so far! I set the stand up for shooting from my porch at 110'- where it works quite well. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

After warming up on some rifle targets, I did a 36 / 50 and a 37 / 50 on the 10 meter Olympic pistol target!

I used my Daisy Avanti 853c rifles with a Crosman 4x32 scope It toke me 14 minutes Crosman wadcutter were used I was shooting in a sitting FT position And I shot every balls for a score of 120 If I qualify or not is no big deal I had fun anyway _________________ René My air gun stuff .   Posted: Sun Oct 07, 2007 9:24 am 23ib0d0n Moderator Joined: 21 May 2007 Posts: 757 If AirGunEric wants to allow it, here is a 1/2 scale jpeg version It is still raining here again today . . . So either I shoot pistol only out in the shop, or a half scale reduction for rifle at 10m myself.   Posted: Sun Oct 07, 2007 3:36 pm under500fps Veteran Member Joined: 03 Mar 2007 Posts: 217 Location: Nova Scotia Shooter: me 61 with 175% reading glasses Pistol: Gamo Compact Pellet: Crosman .177 wadcutter Sight: open stock sight Distance: 10 meters Place: my indoor range Position: standing offhand 2 hands Time: 10 minutes Score: 1+2+4(x)+11+12+13+15=56 3 outside 3 in #6 2 in #14 My target was printed on black and white and grey paper.
