One additional request from the interested parties here on moderator selection. What moderators have you used on your .177 TM1000 RAWs? A couple have said / intimated to use a moderator to improve accuracy. Which ones have you found to be good? I have a 0DB .25 & .30 cal, but that would be...

I learned a lot in this thread about raccoons. I was not aware of how thick their angular skull was and the importance of shooting head on vs. a side view for a shot between the eyes and the ear. I did find this out the hard way a couple of times with my own experience. I also agree that...

Yeah, one of the reasons I am trying the Athlon 15-60 magnification, is because I need more magnification on my RAW for N50 and 100Y EBR practice cards. I will take the Midas TAC 6-24X50MM FFP scope off the RAW and put that on either the Revere or HW100. I also have a 36X Sightron fixed I can...

...about 877-880 FPS Shot the RAW HM1000X .22 HP using JTS 25.39 pellets. I forgot my shallows, which did shoot very well on some recent N50 cards. **Martin did indicate they shoot well for him also.** Average velocity was about 950 FPS with JTS pellets, which might be a bit hot. But, I am...

Thanks Ed. Actually, the guy who told me the Hades (FX Atomic) would work for targets was ‘you.’ I was pleasantly surprised, but the JSBs, Rangemaster 15.89’s are vg also. Just not as tight as the Atomics. It will be interesting to see if/how the new scope will help with the challenge...

This must be the day everyone is shooting. Had the HW100 .22 Carbine out today. Started at 40Y and could not score, and shot 2 cards. A 183 and a 186. The difference in 10y between 30-40y is massive for me at this distance. I think the new Athlon Heras scope will help with my holds. 16X...

Ken PM me if you have interest in a used Votex Diamondback 6-24x50 FFP or an Athlon Argos 6-24X50 FFP scope. I bought too many FFP scopes and I am using only 2FP for BR target shooting. Tom

Today I ordered a new Benchrest Scope from Athlon. 15-60X56mm Athlon Heras 2FP BLR2 MOA reticle. I can use this for the 30-40y challenges, N50 50y targets or even at 100y. First time ordering from Sheels, but they get them direct from Athlon. I would love a Delta Stryker or Vortex Golden...

Truly phenomenal marksmanship, especially with two different rifles and at 40 yards! It’s amazing how precise the accuracy is here at 40y. Marvin, next time you get a chance, can you take a couple of pics of your setup and rifles? I am not familiar with the USFT. Given the wind was 3 mph...

Yep, I had a one run away with what I thought was a lethal shot. The pellet bounced off the top of his head. Another time I shot a female and the next day baby raccoons were looking for their Mom. Felt terrible so now they get a pass. I back up to a thick woods, so lots off wildlife. LDP...

I reread your last paragraph Jim. I have been shooting the challenge since it’s origin in February 2022. As I reflect back and consider your words, I think you hit the nail on the head. Looking for little improvements and experimenting with different pellets, velocities and tunes; is...

Long time ago I shot a couple big raccoons with my Diana Break-barrel .22 340 N-tec. I know the velocity was a couple hundred FPS less than 940 FPS and it was with a 14.66g pellet. Right behind the ear, but at close range at 20 yards. Shot placement is key, like most pests or small game. 31...

Great way to break in a new rifle with a '200!' Great shooting Ed.

I just checked. They don’t make the SST for the .22 Royale. .177, .25 and .30 cal only. Bummer

Great feeling isn’t it Jim! Nice card.

Tim - let me know if your Sightron 45x seems a bit darker at either 50 or 100y. Also, the clicks on using the elevation or windage knobs are not real crisp. I really like Sightron scopes, just curious what you or others reading this thread, think about those two minor points. Perhaps the...

Hi Tim, thanks. Shooting was so-so for that rifle, esp. without the tuner. I need to play around with light vs. firm shoulder hold a bit. Yes, I can clearly see the holes at 100 yards. I will say that the sight picture is a little darker than I expected, but maybe the sun shade caused that...

Thanks Ed. I did not realize he changed his company name from "919 Airguns." Good to know.

It has been a while since I have posted N50 'in the rings' 100 yard targets. Today was windy and I brought the Anschutz 1907 .22LR to the range. I did forget my 'tuner' and that's unfortunate because I have the tuner really dialed in for this 100y challenge. Rifle:Anschutz 1907, 54 action...

Shot a couple of these Rimfire targets at 30y. A little windy, but it was a nice change of pace. No pressure, no score. 😀 My hold offs were mainly at 2 to 5 o'clock on the 10 ring or just a bit off it. Best wind condition was a tail wind for those holds, so I waited until I saw flag blow...
