Ok peeps, I guess make this a thing now, More frustrating fun! The range is your choice, but try and push out your zone if you can! Ha ha Love it!.....So 2.0 for you folks!
5 shot group one shot fly challenge

Is 10m, offhand equivalent to 75yds benched? ...cuz 10m is all I have. Hehe. Sounds like fun for sure.

You lost a lot of people when you limited it to 75 yards or more. The max I have available to shoot is about 45 yards and I can't put up a target there because it is about 50 feet up in a tree! LOL!

This is just too cool for school!!!
I took the afternoon off to test the fly targets out....What fun.... what frustrating....Which fly!!! Ha ha I made a couple of different designs to test...!50 yards of course! Lol I also did 68 yards and 100 yards just to see what was what. The close up's of just the fly's are the 68 yard test other are 150.....Some adjustments needed but really cool.

I see at least one headshot fly! And I see a lot of live flys too, how did you get so many to land on the backstop? I’m looking forward to printing out some fly targets and trying them at different ranges. Definitely going to be fun. You picked a great model for the fly too lol!

Definitely blind in the right eye! Lol Ha ha I have no clue Dave, I think they must have thought they were mummy and daddy! So frustrating to dial for a POI...As they move... but funny as! Had a bit of a fo par too...I didn't realise the wind had picked up on the other side of the hedge, So when I shot passed the field opening the pellet kept getting pushed off So a wind flag was set up in the opening and I shot when the wind was off that flag rather than the target flag...Extra challenge...Love it...So wind flags at 70 100 and 150 on top the backstop.So bit of target adjustments Dave and should be rocking mate! Thanks for your pointers dude, Your one shot head shot fly's are a really cool size at range but the stars and fly's need to be a bit bigger. Plus bolder sighter. So 2.0 re worked and printed up for testing folks!!!

Am pooped for now. 10m/ offhand-standing/peep sights; HW77K's weight forces you to work out. Lol.
(Only one shot per fly... figured its a fly; never seen one hang around after its first scare, haha. Colored the target as I can't see poop from 10m based on print.)

super cool Twinkees_n_Pb , The new 2.0 are larger, But I've not fired upon them yet... but any adjustments needed can be made. Yeah I put an orange dot on head shot target....Perhaps thicker group rings? Nice one thou bro very close!

Years ago my home club shot a "fly" match at 100 yards the flies were about the size of the bottom row with a head hit counting 10 points, body hit 8 points, wing 3 points, and each leg was 1 point center fire of course. It was a fun target!

Thanks, Stig. Def a fun challenge. Overall at current fly-sized (in target I shot there), I think if made darker/slightly bigger as I've colored in/around it, may help guys shooting iron/peep sights (and even handgunners). Part of it is also my eyes, lol. Either way it's a blast of a challenge.

Way cool, I got the little Wildcat out for a re-zero (35 yards) and thought may as well try and shoot some fly's...Up ended rear bag and on a closed fist so not your best platform. Lol Nailed only one fly but tried this configuration which was cool.
