K....started of with the Phantom .22
Scored 23/120

Then my Custom 2240:
Scored: 40/120

I shot right to left. Pistol shoot may be questioable on the first, could be 20 or just a 10.

It was fun. Smile

Once again I shot at 5 yards due to Red Ryder innacuracy! LOL I don't time due to it being a repeater and I shoot so fast - maybe 2 minutes!

Hmmmmmm,.... let's try changing from a 10-meter target sub-six hold to a center hold like they do for silhouette.

5 meters, 1 hand, 7 minutes, IZZY, RWS Basic
62/120 ~ 50%!

Walther LPM-1 SSP
Pellet: R-10 Match wadcutter 7.0 gr
2-handed @ 5 meters
open iron sights
Time: 5 minutes
Total score: 79/120

It's really hard to hit around the edges to show all 4 shots. On the 3rd groundhog I hit in the green twice in the same hole but can't prove it so I took an extra shot and got a 2 instead!

billandbeaufort -

I haven't abandoned you - I'll catch you next week. We've had graduation parties, a quinceanera, and my son is working on a physics project that's due tomorrow. (He and two other kids are making a trebuchet for launching water balloons. So far the only ones getting wet are the gun crew.)

Check out the specs on that trebuchet, it might work with cantelopes! Have fun . Two weeks til the Airforce "Edge" shipping date!

Well, this is a "target shooting" category -

The camera man (me) feels no danger standing downrange while his son is in command (the one looking straight up). And if the water balloon goes straight up, that means it comes back down........
