30-Yard Challenge

For the leader board

200 17X 30 yard challenge
P35-22 with Vector Sentinel 8-32 @ 32X
AEA 21.9 grain at 835 fps

This is my second 200 this year and only 4th total. I shot my first 2 years ago with this gun and scope with H&N 21.1 grain match pellets. I shot a lot of targets with the H&N pellets including 3 199s. This is only the second with the AEA pellets. Wind seemed OK but officially it was 6 mph. I had to adjust a little. Both shots in cell 8 are really close. Through the scope I thought they were 9s. I'll include close ups. Very pleased.

Way to go Jimmy! Is it my imagination, or are you posting some really high scores in 2025!

Nice card!

I am doing better but still not up to you and Ed and others. AEA pellets have helped a bunch but it's undoubtedly a combination of small things coming together. Now if I can shoot a good Masters target... Wouldn't be fun if there was not still a goal to aspire to.

Yes,

If you’re not careful, you can become complacent if you have been doing this for a couple/three years. Speaking about me here.

The 40Y Challenge is very difficult for me at my outdoor range. The slightest wind currents and shifts have ruined many a card. My aspiration is to get a few 200’s with different rifles. It will take a lot of luck with some good technique and improvement.

So, to make myself feel better, I ordered these today.

Too many CF guys at benches close to me with earth shattering rifles. My old Bass Pro muffs getting replaced.
