I don't have a good camera and my new laptop wouldn't work with the scanner. But I don't think anyone will contest a score of 252.

It's been a long time since I shot anything, so this is learning all over for me.
Thanks for the fun. Mr. Green

gun: Avanti 853 in a 753 stock w/match sights
Pellet: Gamo Match Wad .177
Dist/Pos: 10m / Standing
Score 235
Time Darn near the full 15 Min.

I have always said that open sights and my eyes do not get along but I've been hunkering for a 10m rifle. Picked up a used 853 in a 753 stock for a very decent price and i have to admit... I think I'm doing pretty well with it. I've only had it a few days. I could just barely make out the center dot at 10m, there was no seeing the rings. I really enjoyed shooting with those sights. I don't see myself investing in a high dollar match rifle but maybe something a step up.

Hi guys. The last week or so I've been following this forum and looking at the various targets in the bi-weekly competitions. It looks like a lot of fun so I thought I would participate. I've shot some of the targets from previous weeks and liked the variety.

A little bit of history... I've had an air rifle for a number of years and an old Crosman pellet gun since I was a kid, but I hadn't been shooting for quite a while. Since I got back into it, the bug has bitten me hard. I recently bought a Baikal IZH-46M and have been having a blast shooting it.

Once I figure out how to attach an image, I will post the current weeks' target. It will probably be tomorrow since I still need to scan it and I will be heading to work shortly.

Once last thing... What size is normally used when posting targets to this topic? I don't want the file to be huge, but want it large enough to be easily viewed. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to be using a camera or scanner.

Thanks

Welcome to AirGunHome SSFox.

Glad to hear you like the targets, a bit of variety does no harm, as for the target size if you reduce it to around 800 x 600 pixel it will be ok.

Pistol: Baikal IZH-46M
Pellet: RWS R 10
Sights: Open factory sights
Dist: 5m
Score: 257/280
Time: 11:58

This was my first time shooting in competition, even as informal as it is, it made a bit of a difference (made it easier to screw up). One of the targets I really liked from previous weeks was the progressively smaller circles, but the difference between a 20 point hit and 0 was only a couple of mm. This one was much more forgiving.

In the past, I sucked shooting with a pistol. With the Izzy, I suck less. :-) Did I mention I really like it?

Hopefully, I'll get a chance to sight in my rifle to 10m and have a go with it too.
