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 Terrific shooting! Congratulations!

Unfortunately- now I shake too much- and no, I wasn't drinking last night! Start: 5:26pm, End: 5:37pm 60*F, 80% RH no wind Crosman Phantom .22 cal Crosman Premier Hollow Points 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14 Total= 95 We will count the reduced size targets for people shooting at 10m- it's all in fun anyways, right?   Posted: Sun Oct 07, 2007 4:44 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6908 Location: "Out There" So far we have under500fps in the lead with 120, 4x and Stevie in second with 120, 3x- maybe someone else wants to judge the "X's" so I don't get shot?   Posted: Sun Oct 07, 2007 4:46 pm StevieLaner7777 Moderator Joined: 07 Mar 2007 Posts: 1060 Location: Herefordshire, UK I could have done better shooting at the same distance as Under500fps with my QB78, even if the target is reduced in size it's not the same as a greater distance. I dunno about this rule bending tbh!

And if the reduced distance does create easier shooting- we can disqualify it in future competitions- but nobody piped up before I posted that they'd be OK- so we'll leave it for this one.   Posted: Sun Oct 07, 2007 5:27 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND Yea I think under500fps takes it with 4 Xs, and Stevie 2nd, as Eric says no one objected to what was proposed so I think it should stand as it is. Good effort everyone. Al PS: TBH, "To be honest". Lots of fun!   Posted: Sun Oct 07, 2007 5:50 pm Jim McArthur Veteran Member Joined: 03 Sep 2007 Posts: 151 Location: New Orleans, LA, USA It's all in fun, gents! And hey, I can't wait till Week 5. And I warn you all (you-all, that's singular AND plural, here in the South) that I intend to take full advantage of the rules about 2-hands, benches, etc. No scope, though. I don't own one!

Cheers Al Eric - I though you said you knew about Acronyms before lol! I'm also agreeing that it should stand as it is then! Though if we don't rule out the 10M small targets next week I'm taking the easy route too! lol Stevie _________________ "Who Dares Wins" - SAS 22nd Regiment Hereford.   Posted: Sun Oct 07, 2007 6:04 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND With the mix-up with the rules this week I think the rules should be posted with the target of the week. Target distance should be 10m for pistols and 20m for rifles, with the same size target We have to have a 10m target for the indoor pistol shooters, but a 10m target shot with a rifle at even a reduced target is to easy, also it should be made clear whether it is free hand or bench rest.

I do not wish to cause any hard feelling. It does not matter to me one way or the other. _________________ René My air gun stuff .

My eyes just couldn't focus properly on the mixture of colors. Would have been a terrific 2-color target, though.

The rules are changed depending on the target- which is the main Competition page: http://www.airgunhome.com/pages/shootcomp.html and one of the reasons why I don't post a link directly to the target alone in these threads/posts and people have to navigate through the Rules page to get the target of the week. I don't know that we need to specifically state in the official rules "no shrinking" now that we are all clear on that it shouldn't happen. If someone new comes along and doesn't know- I'm sure someone will inform them! The next target and any rules changed will get posted later tonight. Hooray for Under500!   Posted: Mon Oct 08, 2007 11:39 am Jim McArthur Veteran Member Joined: 03 Sep 2007 Posts: 151 Location: New Orleans, LA, USA Hooray for Under500!
