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

[FL22]

This is an unofficial challenge between members.

You can read the beginnings of the discussion here starting with post number 292.

Others - What paper target did you shoot today?

Awesome groups brother. (y) Question: If your goal is to use the slug on hogs, do you consider terminal velocity at certain distances? I would imagine that the chrono reads the speed at/near the muzzle, but the energy at say 50 yards has to be slower. Is that enough for a good kill ? I am...

All the details are still being ironed out, so feel free to chime in.

@Hateful McNasty would you be willing to splurge on those targets for the challenge? They look good for irons. If not, we could do the separate soup can lid challenge.

My traps are at 30y & 50y on portable one not so much. From the other thread I’m assuming you are planning to use the AV targets from Pyramid. I like these challenges & have participated in an indoor one over the winter & now a 30y challenge both on GTA. These are fun so I’m in when all the details get worked out.

Sounds good .

I think the AV targets that Dan uses would be great. I’m going to add them to a PA order that I have planned this week or next.

If no one objected perhaps start the challenge in September.

 

[Florida_Man]

Well I can participate in the 20y, I only have a max of 35y in my backyard.

 

[Florida_Man]

@FL22 I just ordered these. I had an Amazon gift card. I’m not ordering from PA anytime soon, so i will measure these if you can let my know the measurements of the A/V rings.

I tried finding info on it’s specifics, no luck so perhaps @Danman can help.

Coward.....Just kidding 80Y is about the safe max on my property so the distance works well. I just saved a lid from a can of beans from lunch. My pesting is anywhere from 20 to 100Y so that is where I try to punch paper at. Gotta get scope tape for the and set it for up to 100Y. I think my first pack of those paper targets were branded snow peak but are clearly made in the exact same place. $5 American work out to about $7 cdn

Alas I checked and won't ship to Canada, also could not get details. Those look to be about right though! They are also 5.5 x 5.5

I am out of town for the next two weeks, I have ordered the Air Venturi ones, but unfortunately won’t be able to measure them for a comparison till I return.

Though it would expedite the process if our buddy
@Danman ,who already has the AV targets would measure his .

That's seem to be a issue with near all of them on what the ring sizes are . It just would kill them to put it in the targets description. Probably don't even know to do so anyway . For air gun it's 1 click = 1/10mm @ 10m it takes 4 clicks to move 1 ring . ( Officially). Then I guess today your lucky to even get any sight on a gun more or less worry about click and ring values .

That ring size math ain't adding up , right?

Just give the with of a ring being there all equal and 1/2 the "x" is times 2 of the ring with

So if each ring is a 1/4inch with then 1/2 the X is 1/2" or 1 inch diameter . The whole target across the rings is 5.5 inch total

IDK, my eyes aren't the greatest anymore up close. Closer inspection 9 ring looks 6mm. It's hard with the solid line between 1 through the outer edge of 8, then they get rid of the contrasting line. The AV targets have better lines.

 

[Hateful McNasty]

That 6mm is pretty close to my 1/4" guess at .236 inch ( 6mm/.236") I tried to measure off your posted picture ..lol ...


P.S ..

The black 6,7,8,9,10 is about 2-5/8" diameter , right?

 

[Danman]

These are real close in spacing but subtle differences! The AV rings are about 5.5mm across whereas the snowpeaks are an even 6mm. I found a 3rd one and ordered some of them too....They are neat as the inner 2 circles are white and easier to see hits, with the middle rings black and outer white as well. @Florida_Man yours looked OK except the 10 ring is huge!? Also....about caliber...I'd think .177 or .22? 80Y with my .177 TX kinda horrifies me Or maybe 20Y .177 and 40/80 .22. I have no issues pitting my TX vs PCPs either . Just ideas...

 

[Florida_Man]

I’ll pick up some AV’s the next order from Pyramid. I plan on shooting them at 20y with my 177 S200. I’ll shoot an unsanctioned 30y also
