Others Springtime Challenge 2025

[FL22]

Hello everyone! and welcome to the Springtime Challenge.

4/1 extended through 5/4 - 2025

25y

Bench rest

Any Airgun

Please self qualify by selecting the appropriate target and determine which level of difficulty best suits you and your Airgun.

Beginner - touching the dot = 1 point

Intermediate - 60% cover = 1 point

Pro - 100% elimination of the dot = 1 point

You may participate shooting every available target caliber but no more than once.

As always, please show your work, target at distance and your Airgun.

.177 .22 .25 targets are attached

Let’s Destroy the dots!!

If your target does not match your caliber selection, use your printer settings to reduce or increase the size of the dots to match. Thank you.

Just so I know if I need to re-download, are there any changes from what you'd posted of these prior?

No sir. You are good to go .

I hope to see some targets with missing dots — just pellet sized hole!

I was thinking about the .17 cal target and my dirty .30 called the rock at 20 yards?
LOL
I am looking forward to see what happens all jokes aside we are on the honer system and this is all about haveing fun.

The next two weeks are looking pretty busy for me, I probably won’t even have time to touch one of my Airguns.

That’s why I did everything I could to try and lay the groundwork for the Challenge while I could.

@Danman seems to like it when he is first to post but maybe @PapaT will this time .

Just waiting for Apr 1, to show what a fool I am.

Fighting words!! Lol if I can get the printer to cooperate I'll be running the .22 version with the S510. Not gonna play holdovers/unders with such a small target this time though
April is usually busy for sure, it's good we run each competition for a month

I had a little time on Friday to take on this challenge. I shot my BSA XLX at 30 yards with JSB 15.89 pellets. Shooting was completed in the Benjamin 50 yard indoor range.

I am scoring it as a "pro" shooter. I got 1 point per target. Hitting the center of the dots was more challenging then expected.

It was great fun though. I plan on doing it again with a .177 and a .25.

[FL22]

I’m pretty sure the .177 pro is going to be a nail biter .

@BenjeneerJohn have you decided which Airgun you are going to use?

 

[BenjeneerJohn]

@FL22 I am planning to use my Challenger/Marauder Field Target rifle. Hopefully I can get more that 1 point per target!

25 cal: AV Avenger (Captain America) - found my pellet of choice for it today.
22 cal: P-Rifle - probably have ammo chosen for this...
177 cal: ??? But probably Daisy 880 Other option is to scope the legacy. 3-9x40 seems overkill on the legacy

Nice shooting, I’m guessing winds are from right to left.

Thanks. I was shooting behind my house so about half of the distance, the wind is somewhat mitigated also diffused because of the trees. But yes right to left . I watch the tree moss as a wind flag lol.

I watch trees and hanging cans as my wind flags.

now that the rain is dying down I am hoping to get a chance to shoot!

Got out today with Captain America (Avenger 25 cal) and took my first whack at the challenge. Even with the Avenger I am very much a beginner. I also think my scope might be canted, but that's not to blame for the score.

AV Avenger .25
Beginner
Winds 8mph R to L
49°F
JTS Dead Center 29.32gr

My apologies if I didn’t make it clear, but if you want you can submit two targets and the best score will stand.

Totally up to you though, I like to have two to compare. (Well two more to compare to the stack that I already have )
