New project

If you are a female American 50 M / 3 position shooter, and want to take on the best from over there in EU ville.
Well you will have to go though Rikke then, CUZ she just took the European championship again in that discipline.
She can probably give quite a few boys a run for their money too.

A couple of play & work days.

Play = slinging lead, even did some micro pesting.
While shooting some 2" splatter targets at 100 M, a fly did not see the no trespassing signs on my backing material, so after 30 - 40 warning shots, some uncomfortable close i am sure even if the damn thing did not flinch.
At one time i put a hole in the cardboard 5 mm in front of it and 5 mm behind it, and the damn thing just sat there taunting me.
I even finished my targets and moved on to other things, but then later i got back to it, and it was still there sitting astride a old hole to taunt me.
And so i finally managed to convert it into a hole.




Also managed to whip up the " Lead" part of a lead trap up,
Next outing it will be equipped with lead stopping / catching material.
Put up at 50 M CUZ i do have a stack of BR50 papers, and there are room for 2 of them i think.

It will of course also be fitted with near miss reinforcements so it do not get all shot up, even if only accomplished shooters visit our range.

it's been a rough week

By the way i am now officially Manu loading my two, i got a batch of 4 18 shot Manu loaders made for the Two, and it have not taken long to get used to manually indexing the Magazine to have nice ammo insertion into the breech.



Work fine it seem, this is 10 shots at a already there hit on a steel plate at 100 Yards ( shooting 13 grain )



EDIT WEEKS AFTER POSTING:::::::::::
Just noticed i wrote 100 M, that is a mistake on my part it was just 100 Yards / 93 M.
Our range have two 100 yards target sets to satisfy the imperial inclined, really we should only do Metric but we are too kind.

I will end this post on a LOUD note.

I needed that taking my bottle all the way down to 150 BAR having a pretty good Ol time shooting 20 grainers out to 127 M ( using 130 BAR on the regulator )

No idea if the slugs still arrive out there sideways, but they do generally arrive pretty damn accurate all things considered, both H&N and Zan,,,,,,, AND of course NSA 20.5 grainers that do fly a tad slower at same regular setting ( tight fit )

Mind you i still favour the 13 Grain Zan slugs, but always nice to know the option for serious smacking power is there if needed.
+1200 slugs,,,, and pellets dispatched in 2 days at the range.

Seem like trying to split playing cards at 75 M with a Maverick shooting Heavy pellets is too hard.
Tried hard for a while, only able to guesstimate from wind flags as impacts was not visible on the Oneleaf digital scope at full zoom.

I did put a "dent " in a single card but really with the number of shots fired to do that i could have split 5-6 cards at 118 M shooting slugs in my Two.

Just some random work over the last month or so....

What to do at 4am? Can 17 12oz jars of apricot-pineapple-coconut jam.

Was going to be apricot-pineapple and thought coconut goes with pineapple so i put a tablespoon of coconut extract in the pot too. Turns out to be a stellar idea.

Im smacking some ground hogs today!!I have a nice vidoe with my .510 Texan..I gotta learn to up load vidoes..Wish me luck

Taking the shooting into the night.
Can be done though with a scope only having 40 mm lens, well targets do have to be some size.
Also Hold as dictated by previous shot, well hard to do CUZ often you cant really see where previous shot went.

Still i managed to get the reset scope zeroed for 55 - 75 and 118 M ( new firmware update ) and get some shots off, though i started at sunset ( past 10 in the evening )
But a little later and i had to go full IR to throw it down.

Targets shooting gallery chalks about 30 X 10 mm visible, and then the 1.5" paddles on the little 4 paddle target.
Distance 118 Meters.

So got around to test my DIY playing card holder today, and since the wind was sort of ok, well i decided to stretch it out.
So started out at 50 M, then moved to 75 M and finished off at 118 M which i think is a tall order as it took too many shots to cut the cards.

It was done alright, TBH i had little faith, but seeing as i cut the first 2 cards fairly fast i figured i would do the last ones too, and those really messed with me, seeing my slugs sail right past on either side, so even if minding wind ( CUZ if you dod not you would be like a inch if not a little more off )
It was a struggle and i think more luck than anything else.

Good fun though, i will for sure do this again, maybe for 118 M transition to a larger target like say Tic Tac mints or something like that.

The video LONG, even if i speed most of it up to 6X, so if you sit though it THX, if you do a little skipping well bless you.

If I can grow my own food so can you!!! On my good days I can work in the garden. Potatoes, Bloody Butcher Red , Lettuce Ryubarb and Squash.

Love airguns, love hunting, love nature --but most of all I like SHOOTING & putting three to five shots in same hole

Finally got around to shoot a little fire, however this time not the right fule ( gasoline + gasoline lamp oil mix )
There need to be alcohol in the mix ( not drinking it ) instead of gasoline.

Also it might have been a error shooting 13 gr slugs, i think it would be better shooting a larger head domed or maybe even wadcutter instead,,,,, new experimenting coming up.

Anyway we had fun, only 4K / 120 FPS video captured this time.

My Hunting and Shooting Team!!! Loyal and patient

The environmental factor is HUGE.

This is shot ( 55 M / 13 gr Zan slugs) in the daytime, with not horrible bad wind force, but not at all minding them / trying to read them.
Also at any given time +4 different wind directions indicated by flags, some times apparently a strong gust coming strait up out of the earth CUZ some times a flag would point strait up.



The remaining 4 dots on the same target shot 5 hours or so later when wind died down some, not completely gone though but A LOT less aggressive, and more of the wind indicators in the field pointing the same way.
Again here not minding wind or trying to read it, just shot from the zero,and then putting enough shots on each target to rule out the luck factor.



As usual shooting my Epic airguns Two.
same weather today, and you can generally hold your shots on the black dots, but you damn well better pay attention to the wind.
If not, well your shot would easy be pushed 50 - 70 mm off course.
