Others “HAM Community Target Challenge” 20, 40, 80y

[pan60]

I vote that we use printable targets. Add a link to the target and if everyone prints them 1:1 scale we should all be on the same page.

I like these challenges. It is a good way to promote airgun accuracy and helps get people out shooting.

For the 20y single shot target, I agree.

two targets, best score stands. Not print unlimited targets and only show the best score.

Targets printed. Now the hard part of deciding which rifle to use...

I just saw this weekend challenge after a long week of having a 1yo and just being busy at work.

I picked the wrong weekend to try out a tin of Apolo 16 gr with my Atomic
But I will give it a go.

Last guy I asked how he liked the apolo pellets he said there's a reason the sku# starts with cr-ap '''' ..lol. He just left it as that on his review of them .. so let us know how there working for you ..

I just shot them at 1/4” bulls at 15.5y and they were stacking. They even performed at the 2nd lowest TP setting. So far they have done better than CPD’s in this Atomic. This is resting the rifle on a window sill of my old casement window. It’s currently raining with rain in the forecast all weekend. With the magic 700fps for the atomic they require a lot more HS than CPD’s or JSB 16gr. I’m just getting 22 shots on reg.

The pellets are the dirtiest I’ve ever encountered. Wash, tumble, wash, tumble for me. They are a softer lead. I used a white microfiber for the first tumble and there was a lot of just rubbed off lead deposits not just solids.

With FX 15.9gr for 12 bucks at UAG, they arrive and require a lot less work.

I plan on testing CPHP next. Those would be the only pellet priced to make all the prep worth it over a 12 dollar tin of FX basically ready to go.

 

[Hateful McNasty]

I think he was cracking a joke on the sku's all starting with cr-ap . I got a comp tin of .22 and they did no better or worse in my stuff .. so shot good enough for me ..lol

Why the oddball distances? I don't have the room to shoot at home so I have to shoot at my local gun club. Their target frames are set at 25, 50, 75 and 100 yards. They frown upon setting up your own stuff at other distances.

Did we want to make any rules about HOW the gun is shot? I mentioned earlier no gun clamps or rear monopods, were not testing the best gun here but a shooter/gun/ammo trifecta!

Why the oddball distances? I don't have the room to shoot at home so I have to shoot at my local gun club. Their target frames are set at 25, 50, 75 and 100 yards. They frown upon setting up your own stuff at other distances.

We did 20Y first bc that should be a friendly 'at home' doable distance. We are shooting the 20Y this coming week. If you can't participate, I'm thinking we could work our way up (next?) to maybe 25, 30, 40, then 50 etc.... we can await @FL22 /others input as well. Or wrap this one up and start a 25/50/75... I'm game!! My question is will we always use this target sheet? If so when I figure how to print I will print a bunch!

Brother, this is kind of a trial run . Like @Danman said starting off with the attempt at backyard friendly.

But this is HAM Community so we are a little fast and loose with the rules here. Read in to that what you will.

I think it’s more important just to have fun shooting.
