FIVE AND DIME AIRGUN CHALLENGE

[Solo1]

Wind is the name of the game from 75-100 yds. Good groups!

Yes. I’ve never bothered to try and read the wind. Hunting here in Florida rarely requires a shot greater than 100-150yds and with 3000fps its pretty easy to shoot a hunting group without reading to much into the wind. This is a whole different ballgame.

Time for another’s challenge. I was definitely challenged with this target/distances. I need to shoot a couple of groups to record, before I polish the Ghost Barrel. My groups tightened up a little bit with this session. But I still can’t shoot dime sized groups at 75yds. When I shot the 75yd group the wind changed 180deg, from a left to right to a right to left crosswind. I did not account for this and went off target, but luckily it was on a new corroplast backer so I could measure it. I placed the target at the 100yds for the bonus, but decided it was too windy to try. Not to mention that I was melting in a humid 105f heat index. I look forward to another challenge. @FL22

I’m with you Bill, but I have been crazy busy with remodeling the kitchen on my days off (Anniversary gift for my wife). I’ll get something going soon as I can. Coffee break is over back to work for me .

I wondered why you hadn’t been posting as much. That’s definitely the priority- good luck with it.

Year before last i shot at the pa cup talk about wild wind! You had to aim at the bull on a target next to the 1 you wanted to hit!

These are 4’ wide i believe

That’s wild and you still shot well.

Not really practice was my best score. 1st card shot 200 i think second card was like 170 had a shot blow over to a target i already shot when the wind shifted suddenly. It was a very difficult day for everyone.
