It took me 24 shots to break 10 toothpicks. (CZ Slavia 631 w/BSA AO 4X32 at 10m from a rest, using 8.2 grain RWS Meisterkugeln's.) Try it sometime. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Sun Jul 22, 2012 10:43 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6908 Location: "Out There" Are they taped to the face of a box? _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

Yes - I'm not nearly good enough to hit moving toothpicks. Another point - use the hardwood toothpicks. It takes several solid hits in the same place to get the bamboo ones to break. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2012 6:19 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6908 Location: "Out There" What? I need to start reading toothpick boxes beyond "mint" or "not mint"? You b@stard! _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

It also helps to use wadcutter pellets instead of domed. The wadcutters (like the Meisterkugeln's) have a "hammer" effect, while the domed ones just move the toothpick instead of smashing it. Hmmm.....minty fresh targets. I'll have to think on that one for a while. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2012 10:08 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6908 Location: "Out There" Yup, nothing tastes better than a bit of woody mint mixed with lead residue... Note: Do not attempt this at home, you may suffer possible brain damage, kidney failure and other nasty stuffs... _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.
