Ghost Tigger at 75 yard local match

[Pesty3782]

Tigger and I went out to a local match yesterday at Rio Salado and shot the 75 yard competition....A brisk 38 degrees when the match started, but warmed up to a toasty 45 by the end.

There were 8 people shooting at 75 yards and out of the 8, there were 4 's.... Damn good showing for the 's for sure.

One person was shooting slugs which are allowed at the 75 and 100 distance. Scores were very close because the wind wasn't as bad as usual at Rio. Each bull gets 4 shots for a total of 640. The bottom row under the line is for sighters....It was a fun day for sure!!!!

One of the guys Impact took a dump on him and Ronnie, who was shooting next to me, went out to his car, grabbed another rifle for the guy, so he could finish the match....A true sportsman for sure!!!!!

I really concentrated on my wind flags and slowed down my shooting by using a single shot loader instead of my magazines......

Tigger (Ghost) took 1st place with a 597 and 11 X's......2nd place was the slug shooter (RTI Prophet 22) 589 with 8 X's and 3rd was an Impact 30 cal 580 2 X's.

It was definitely cold to start but much better when the sun popped over the mountain. This was my first match so 25m seemed best to start. The Impact M3 performed well and helped me score 720 w/ 15x's. Again, it was only 25m.

My Ghost wasn't ready as I just switched scopes. Hopefully, I'll join the Ghost crowd next time.

Nice shooting! Hey pesty3782, or Ghost gang maybe someone could answer....does the .30 cal shoot slugs OK? I know .22 absolutely does not but I've heard the .30 may shoots them ok (Michigan airgunner for one)? Once the slug barrels come out its gonna be insane I think .... I hope to buy a ghost in .22 (for slugs) and .30 barrel (for either) but I always think it would be best to go .30 and then get a .22 slugger barrel once they come out as usually the slug barrel will shoot pellets ok as well. I'm still on pins and needles for these slug barrels to come out. I've watched all of Aim Small's Ghost videos (twice now) and he is waiting for them for testing as well. He has tried countless slugs in the .22 ghost to no avail. Thanks.

Never shot slugs from it....Most competitions the wife and I go to are pellet only....I am playing with a 177 HP barrel right now with slugs....

So went up to Globe Arizona yesterday with a group of people to shoot and this was the weather....What was I thinking!!!!!! Had a great time!!! Stretched Tigger out to 200 yards on 4 inch swingers.....We had a 2 inch swinger at 100 also. Everybody else was getting dope for the X games that goes out to 300 yards, but I'm not shooting Tigger at the X games....The little 177 slugger was hitting the 200 yard swinger with no issues also.

We had paper out to 250, but I kept my paper shooting with Tigger to 100 yards. It was the first time at 100 for it. I do need more practice at 100, but I want to get 75 down first since that is the distance you have to qualify at for RMAC and EBR.

As it warmed up to a toasty 39 degrees, you could see the mirage down range and that's all we had to read the wind which switched back and forth from left to right/ right to left....

When we were done, off to Mexican food, at a place which is still there ,when I would visit my Grandparents who lived there in the day.

Well Tigger hasn't been out in a long time....I bumped the reg up to 140 and worked on groups between PW 8-14....So speeds ranged from 875 to about 900.....When I jumped to max it was 922, but groups were not groups at all at 50 yards.

I settled with PW 14 shooting a low of 896 a high of 901 and an average of 897....ES 5 FPS and SD 1.4

Tigger is a beautiful beast… she needs some tigger stripes… T-I-double-Guh-Er…

 

[Pesty3782]

Stripes? I love it! Now what to use that won’t hurt the anodizing.

The scale isn't right, but wonder if a guy could modify them into the appropriate size for Tigger?

Fun times! Nice shooting

Another 75 yard competition and Tigger and I squeaked into first by 2 points….Second match we shot 100 and were the only shooters….Those extra 25 yards make a HUGE difference for sure with wind call.

It was nice meeting Ed, @EDventure Outdoors today…. I’m trying to get him to reach out to 75 yards….Once again 25 addition yards is a huge learning curve especially at Rio and the wind there.
