Rick Rehm Hanging on a String - Shooting Challenge!!

Waz gooin owen??
Here is my entry into the Monthy Target Shooting Challenge/Shoot for Rick. I apologize for the lame scope cam quality caused by direct sunlight leaking in between the side shot body and the scopes eyepiece. I forgot to install my shade over the gap 😠

  • Speed: 925 FPS

Here's my submission to the #AirgunNation #monthlytargetchallenge . I used a Weihrauch HW97K .177 offhand from 30 yards to hit an #AirgunDepot exploding golf ball. This is all in preparation for the Taco Man Donnie Reedage and Tyler Patner (Tylermania) offhand shoot-off rematch. That's happening tomorrow, so stay tuned for the results! The Taco Man already won once, but Tylermania is a worthy opponent. Who will win the rematch? You'll just have to stay tuned to find out. I am ecstatic to see Rick Rehm is home and shooting, and as with the challenge itself, this shot is dedicated to him...

I couldn't help myself after seeing Hajimoto's post. I figured an offhand shot would be the most appropriate tribute to Mr. Rick. 

Here's the setup. AGD Golf Ball, Diana 430L .177, JSB Monsters Redesign. At the end of the challenge I have 15 of those pellets through the gun. They seem promising. On to the show.

Right to the carnage:

Shooter Comments. I should get a mic or something.

If you're super bored. I mean really, really bored. Fed up with your YT feed, nothing new on Netflix, cat ignoring you bored.

It's great to see Rick well on the mend.

Thanks as always to Micheal for entertaining our whims and putting together these challenges.

Oh Donnie Donnie Donnie. What are we going to do with you?! 😆
 
Alright wrapping up the month of July...

@d12bn is taking the bacon to compliment the egg. He actually cut through the string (which was part of the original contest before I changed it to a frangible target dangling from a string) with a .177 Daystate Redwolf. I'm not sure how you pulled that one off because I hit a string many times and determined it couldn't be broken unless it was under tension. So great job d12bn!

Honorable mentions go to:

Hajimoto - 2 shots @ 50 yards with his FX Wildcat MK3 (better luck next time Haj ;)

Douger - for absolutely obliterating the mint with his Daystate Super grade and JSB .22 Hades

pdxFrank - for hitting quite a few TUMS

John-in-Ma - for shooting several variations of this challenge. Including the tiny homeopathic pills.

Donnie Reed - for hitting a golf ball with a .177 springer, off-hand from 30 yards. You're commentary was frickin' hilarious! Plus you demonstrated that the entire thing can be filmed in 1 take with your cell phone and no editing 

Please join us for a new #monthlytargetchallenge for August!
