The use of bags or bipod is permitted and encouraged.



30y



Any Airgun and caliber.



Two shots per individual bull’s-eye (6) for a total of 12 shots and up to 120 points.



Scoring is 10 points for a bull’s-eye, 5 points for the second ring, 2 points for the next ring.



If you do not have 30 yards available to you, please reduce the size of your printed target as follows.



For 20y reduce the size by 33%

10y reduce by 66%

If you are using this method, please include a snapshot of the target with a ruler for reference.



As always, please print and shoot 2 targets also show your work (Airgun and target at range) your best score stands.

Please be advised it is your responsibility when participating in a Challenge to make sure that you are shooting your airgun in a safe manner. Use an appropriate backstop follow all laws, rules and regulations, read and understand your owners manual. All Challenges past, present and future are for entertainment purposes only and not a “how to” or guide.

Has anyone participated? Are they supposed to post their results in this thread?

 

[pan60]

not yet but I will be.

Lol, first again?! The concrete sidewalk here is about 4inches off the ground and it ended up being very comfortable actually. Guns zeroed for 40Y and the sighters were a tad high so I just held under a mite. Loving these pellets, normally I'd reach for the ol Jsb 18.13. Only had time for the one, will try another soon hopefully. 30Yards.

 

[FL22]

Definitely a pain in the neck position for me (literally), probably due to my size lol. It wasn’t that it was uncomfortable and I did try using the bent leg position, but that made my neck hurt even worse. The problem I was having was getting my head in position for the “eye box” of the scope. I think I needed the rifle to be up higher because it didn’t hurt my neck at all resting on my elbows. Just trying to get my body so low to the ground and then crane my neck back up.

S510
M-lights
Winds 8-16
65°
My best score 100

Nicely done! Lol I was gonna run my second card with the Jsb lights as well, hoping then I could hold dead on vs the 18.1 JTS holding under a bit.

I need to order some of those to try out .

They end up costing the same as the Jsbs (up here anyways) 500 count 18.13 tins, but man are these consistent!! Snatch some up indeed. Weather's looking good for the weekend here, I will get that other card done and see if I can at least tie ya

I think we need to stretch things out to 50+ yards pretty soon. What do you think?

 

[Hateful McNasty]

Bags and or a crutch ? Lol .

Elbows and shoulders

My poor body can't even bend right to even try . Stoveup creeking , cracking , sharp pain, ect .. plumb worn out I guess..

just remeber not everyone can do 50 yards. I can so I am in. that is I hope to be I am a bit under the weather but hope to be feeling better soon.
I you go to 50 for those that cant do 50 they can reduce the taget size and may get to 30 or if not even 20
there are hiccups that I can see even with reducing the target size and mostly that I the pellet size stays the same.
but its a compromise I think we can work with?

@FL22
50 yards is cool if you can do it or have the space to shoot it. Let's do what we can do on an individual basis. I printed a target out. I just have to see if I can make time to shoot it during daylight hours. Worst case scenario I may try to tough it out and shoot it at night with a torch clamped to my scope. I'd like to participate.

 

[Ezana4CE]

I thought I was going to get to it this evening with my Lelya, but I have to find the fill probe.

 

[Danman]

Got the second target done, and I squeaked by @FL22 to boot! Wind was left to right off and on but that's no excuse for that one flier.... missed the entire gopher?! As I hoped the JSB lights allowed me to hold dead on vs under with the JTS 18.1s. 30Y.

@Ezana4CE

You have touched on a couple of subjects that I have been giving thought to.

One is the reduction in target size for simulated distances versus a simple point penalty being applied ( the latter likely more effective and a simpler solution ).

Also, I am interested to find out how many of us would like to have a Challenge at night, I certainly would. It is one of the reasons why I purchased a Zulus.

As you mentioned, a flashlight can be used to participate in this Challenge if needed. It could also be used in lieu of a NV scope for a nighttime Challenge.

On a personal note,
I hope that you are able to locate the missing fill probe and look forward to your participation in this Challenge.

Everyone,
I appreciate any thoughts or suggestions that any Member that has or intends to participate would offer, Thank you.

 

[Ezana4CE]

@FL22 I did find the probe later in the evening that I posted that I couldn’t find it. I ended up shooting two mags at a target to check my DOPE and went hunting this evening.

I'm up for just about anything. There may be some challenges that some can't participate in for whatever reason, they can always sit a round out. To keep it realistic I'd think one challenge per month, then no can say there wasn't enough time to get it done at the very least.

@FL22 I like the option of target size reduction to simulate shooting longer distances for people with limited space to shoot. That’s a very creative idea. I guess one could acquire the sized rations at various distances and use a formula to determine the size of the targets and how they would look with the naked eye or 1x magnification. The main variable that I could see that can’t be accounted for would be how wind affects shooting say at 20 yards shooting at a smaller target versus actually shooting a target from 50 yards.
