First 100Y BR cards!!!

[Centercut]

Went to practice this morning with Tony @pesty3782 and his wife Barb. Barb is relatively new to shooting, but has shot two EFT events in Phoenix this year and has done fairly well at both…. Tony has a .30 Impact Mk2 700mm pellet A liner and Barb has @crusher Bill’s old Mk1.25 Crown with STX pellet A liner 600mm.

So after sighting in and a little practice at 50 then 100 yards, we decide to shoot some cards competition style. I explained the rules to Barb, and she then proceeds to shoot this:

First ever 100Y EBR type card in light winds and she shoots a 224-4x. What? .25 Heavy Mk2 at about 870 FPS. So Tony and I both shoot a card that doesn’t measure up to Barbs card. After a bit, we decide to go another round, winds were picking up and changing direction more often, and she shoots this:

A 223-4X. In fairly difficult conditions. Lucky for me I shot a 230-4X at the same time or else I’d never live it down..

Great shooting Barb! Tony, you got some s’plaining to do!!!
Tony, Barb told me you can have your Balls back once you beat her 2 out of 3. Oh, it’s going to be a long Summer!!!

Ouch! Well it was certified by both Barb and Tony, she was watching me like a Hawk to make sure I didn’t, ahhh, errr, ahhh, “exaggerate” my score…. I did have one flyer in the 7 ring I couldn’t explain…. These .22 RDMs are really pissing me off! ;(

The pain of .22 RD's! 90% of the time they're spot on, then inexplicably wants to throw one out of left field. Have never been able to figure out why, especially when they're examined prior to. I don't single load them, so that could be a potential culprit?

Could be. Today I had about 1/3 full tin of the FX brand RDMs. 350 per tin. Before I left I threw in the culls from a recent sorting session, about 50 more pellets. And today I had one minor flyer in the 7 ring on a competition style card and on a non scoring practice card I had TWO that went about 2 inches low and about an inch to the right and I could see them spiraling in…. Problem is I don’t know for sure they were the culls. But with the “good” tins of FX RDMs I usually only get one or two minor flyers. Totally inexplicable. ;( Oh, and I shoot from the old style Daystate magazines.

Beat the wife 2 out of 3 times Guess I better order up a few thong's since I will never get my manhood back Especially since I only shot a 207.

Barb has the Knack! Tony better trade her guns or this could become a trend.

That's a good score Mike/230!
