Great Day at 50y with the Tommy

[thomasair]

I have been trying to get 2-3 50y cards in every day after work or before. I’m really enjoying 50y. I got 3 in today in favorable 3-5mph left to right conditions. Most hold were on the inner edge of the black.

I’ve been saying a 750 is possible since starting, and today was so very close. I shot a 749 53x..... 250 20x, 250 19x, and 249 14x. The 9 on the last card was so very close...just a few thousandths. No question now that a 750 will happen. 

Shooting RD monsters at 950 or so. Here’s the best one.

Mike, that is one heck of a card! Keep up the great work.

Amazing!

I could use a few lessons on how to achieve such precision.

As much as I hate the overuse of the word “Awesome”, it’s called for here. Nice job Mike! Uj

did you shoot number 9 and number 14 and 19 back to back to back



if so you need some rick graham puppy downy flags at least one in the middle

Amazing!

I could use a few lessons on how to achieve such precision.

use these flags with a airplane lightweight prop as a propeller instead of balls, the low prop works in light winds for pellet shooting



also a puppy downy flag is needed

I'm with Steve123. I could use a few lessons also. The guy shoots basically a world record at 50 yards and AGN members are giving him advice?

 

[thomasair]

No....I shoot across the card and move up or down to the next row depending if I start at the top or the bottom.

I shot this starting from bottom left. I shot a couple sighters before beginning.

The minor up and down has to do with flag angle...not up and down drafts. I was moving up and down about 1/4” depending on flag angle. Sometimes I got it right...sometimes I didn’t.

Ive tried all manners of flags, propellers, and wind gizmos. I use what I use because that’s what works for me.

Wow! Great shooting! I wish I could shoot a card at 25m that well!

 

[thomasair]

Thanks...my son and I shot a 50y match earlier today. He shot a 715 15x and I got a 748 43x. Got rained on pretty hard for one of the cards and he got really chewed up by the mosquitoes. They didn’t bother with me...not sure why. Was kind of strange...first card it was heavy tailwinds flipping back and forth over center, 2nd card was mostly left to right...and last card was right to left. Quite a variety.

This was tonight’s best card for me. 250 12x

Those would be amazing 25m cards for outdoors. At 50 yards, is just amazing. Way to go Mike.
