Notos Backyard Plinking 15 yards
JSB 18.13g @ 406fps / 6.6fpe

I've been spending so much time with the Pulsar HP .177 that my Notos started feeling neglected and I felt bad for her so did some backyard plinking and clearing out some sparrows. After taking out a couple I decided to mount the tacticam and spend some more time with her. Didn't mean to ignore her, just got caught up with the Pulsar :p
No more 25g or 20g left so pulled out the good old 18.13g....still moving about the speed of a bowling ball. For the back yard which max distance is 20 yards I'm enjoying shooting these at 6fpe...quiet.

Have you tried shooting wadcutters at all? I promise you won't have to add any sound effects lol

I just got some RWS Hobby... 22cal 11.9g wadcutters, not sure if they're any good I haven't tried them yet but I'll test them out. From what I understand wadcutters should be shot slower then dome shaped pellets, so since I have the Notos tuned so low we'll see.

From what I have read they are to be shot in the 500-600 range, I've had success with them at 750-800 in the jet. Not getting hole on hole, but enough to still get headshots out to 25yds with a red dot. Those same ones too

Well, once i got them sighted in at 15yds they seem to be doing OK for shooting them so slow (avg 468 fps). Not sure how much further they would hold together but max I'll shoot in the backyard is 20 yards so I think I'm good.

Just noticed something, my scope may not be plum, shots seem to be going left to right....damnit

Check it with a weight on a string hanging from a branch.

Well not going fast enough to make a loud enough "smack" for the tacticam to pick up so still added some sound effects BUT...at 5.8 fpe these wad cutters still hit'em hard and spin'em like a top :p
