First kill over 99 yards.

[TC724]

Finally reached 100 yards. Before this my furthest kill was81 yards on a sparrow.

100 yards on the nose, starling.
The other one in the pic is a one I got at 50 in the same tree and found them both beside each other.

FX Crown/380mm StX barrel
H&N 23g HP Slugs @ 840fps

For those who are curious: My drop data from 18g JSBs at 870 and these slugs at 840 is identical...That being said I switched to slugs due to their ability to handle cross wind so much better. Holding over is one thing, holding over and for wind at distances over 50y can get really interesting when your targets are small and only give you a few seconds to do the math.

Nice I got a pigeon at 98 yards a couple weeks ago

Congratulations and excellent shooting on both! Beautiful Crown and nice pic.

Congratulations on your first, but not last, 100 yard kill… I like the way your rig is set up…

Appreciate it, the rig works well for being easy to maneuver. The Vanguard 1QS Bipod is still up for debate on whether I like it, it swivels too much lol.

Redesigns? These worked great in my gun until 75y and then they spin off. Maybe its the barrel length but I couldn't get them to work. The slugs work great though.

 

[Airgunmann]

Yeah redesigns

Longest confirmed hit was 72yds for me and that was a stretch

I agree! That's a long ways off, so much can happen over that distance.

Not gonna lie, it took 3 shots to get dialed in on it

Nice work.
100y is a long way.
I’m shooting a .177 with an 8.44gr pellet at 813fps, which gives 12.3fpe at the muzzel.
My longest kill so far is a head shot on a rabbit at 74y. I got a bit further to reach out till I get to 100, but I’ll get there
