Others What paper target did you shoot today?

[Solo1]

Wow. your all in on Athelon.
Has the POI been consistant? Any issues with turret locking/paralax/focus adjustments? Any fogging issues ?

I may look at them for a decent spotter as well.

Never had any real problems knock on wood but then if i did athlon warranty is very good

 

[RetLE303]

it's a plumb joke . If your not on line you can't print .. I guess hp got to give you permission ..lol. OH .!! And inform you about the ink and try to sell you some ..lol

yep. I will never buy them again. Terrible.

You dont even have to be on line to print, the cartridges have chips on them that they control. If you dont have the subscription, they wont let you use the cartrdiges. I know theres a work around, since it is a scam anyway.

Oh i lied. Just remembered had a 0 stop screw walk out and jamed once so i took it out. I don’t use it anyway

 

[RetLE303]

Just look at all of athlons reticles if you buy as they have quite a few. My old eyes like the little + in the middle instead of the dot as i see it better at lower power

Yes, I am looking at them now. I have always been a crosshair reticle guy. But I also like the old german post style as well. Not great for ranging, but good for accuracy.

Theres always bound to be an issue from time to time. Nothing major from what I have heard like seals breaking or fogging. I try to find used scopes where I can. Pawn shops sometimes have steals on them. Ebay used to be good for that as well. The last show I went to most scope sellers are just ripping people off with added fees. Even the auctions are getting ridiculus.

I really like the dirty reticle and moa cause it gives me more reference points for distance and wind. Im a holdover guy never turn turrets unless sighting in.

I was getting some pellets through my S3000-C after a light bore polish. It improved it a little. Only 10m. I’m not thrilled about it, but I’m hoping is still in the break in stage. I need to shoot it more often.

I have a heavy amount of springer shooting rust. Too much easy PCP shooting

 

[Hateful McNasty]

I just tried some 10m on irons

R9,cphp.177

Gamocphp.22

The bull size just for a fyi


I'm about ready to change my name to Mr,shankaroo mcgoo .

Just too hot and breezy right now I'm back to the icetea and AC ..

 

[Hateful McNasty]

What's sad is the Walmart gamos 10m this evening. ( Vs hw above)




Of course on stock irons .

 

[Florida_Man]

Just something I to aim at while I recorded speeds.
The top half bulls were all with a stock.
Bottom half bulls and all the numbers on the paper i shot with the Atomic as a pistol with a front rest.

Only 10m
BRK Atomic
No open sights so I had to put an Athlon Talos 10x on it.

Ya, Too bad my eyes go cross on them mutli bull targets ..lol

 

[Florida_Man]

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

 

[Florida_Man]

I wanted to make a target to test my Atomic high and low transfer port setting. I am looking for a pellet that groups the best at both those settings. Ideally the group will be directly below the high power group. I plan on using this at 10m for initial testing. It's been a work in progress for the last few days.

I print my targets mostly on target paper, so not pure white.


The boxes are 1" and the white dot is 1/4"

Nothing wrong with off white . Some conditiond it seems better I guess the white. Maybe helps cut glare ?


Like this notice my shots went in where the sun was best on the bull ..lol

For targets that are scored it is a lot nicer. Small fiber so the pellets cut well. I might try cutting a cereal box down and see if my printer will take it

I like certin cardboard for that reason .
I like nice punched holes .. notice most of my "cereal box" cardboard I use cuts nice holed even with domed pellets ( well cphp ) now back when Walmart had a nice tagboard ream but is not been around in sometime now ..

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.
