Others What paper target did you shoot today?

[Hateful McNasty]

I have cheap “chip board” backers for my steel trap, they also all clean punched holes. This target is target paper.

A suggestion for those that only have access to standard computer paper and your target is printed with a laser printer. Inkjet will probably run.
Mist it with a little water lightly and you will get clean holes. I left some out over night and the dew rested on them and I found nice clean holes when I shot them.

Funny I noticed that when I had some regular everyday printer paper outside overnight and the dew got it how it " stiffened" up that paper to a near cardboard state . I could retry that wet idea again and see , then draw a bulls so nothing go runny..

Testing out the Atomic. I think I may need to clean the barrel. It shot well the first target at 25y, when I shot the scored target it was all over. It really left me scratching my head. The last was a rezero for my new indoor location to pest from. 15.5y

Possible that a cleaning may make a difference, but could also just be fatigue in 2nd string. Also, the target type can play tricks on your eyes as well. Nice work !! Keep it up sir !

I ran a patch of ballistol followed by a few dry patches. It improved the 15.5y performance. It didn't seem that dirty, but helped at close yardage. If these storms move out this afternoon I might be able to try 25y again.

My fatigue is a constant, I have a 1yo boy who climbs everything

If I get my chores done I need to do in this heat wave I need to go back and shoot some groups again too !

I read on the internet that the body ages 3 times faster than the brain. I wish I could draw a squirrel around my bullseyes as well as you do!  Nice shooting!

Trying a target I’m in the process of developing. I made a separate thread on it.

Awesome shooting my friend !!

 

[Hateful McNasty]

So figured I'd chunk a scope on and see where it's at ..

Top left was site in . Almost right where it was when I last use it just a tad off and first shots scoped ..


Then 2ed attempt


Darn multi bull tricks me everytime especially the corners ..
(20y r9 , Talos, cphp)

Edit ...

Did a 3ed try and dog gone it that top left . That's 3 shots at it and still could not hit it .. so much for 3 times a charm ..lol


You'd think you'll d figure out the secret of them multi bull targets one day .. but not today ..

20y
S510 .22
Athlon Argos 6-24X50
Standing Bracing
7-14 winds

Left side (10 shots) JSB 18.3
Right side (10 shots) JSB 20.83


These are the only shots I have made with the monster lights so far. I plan on using them for the Challenge and hopefully able to try them out at 70 yards this weekend.

 

[Hateful McNasty]

Don't think 75y is in the cards for that challenge paper for the poor R9 ( cphp.177)


Any puff of wind would make matters worse..
