Springtime where I live means it's WIND season! Yesterday it was 10-15 mph, and the day before was 15-20, and worse on Sunday, anyway you get the story... A real PITA when it comes to shooting. This morning the branches weren't moving in the junipers and ponderosas so I flew out the door, lol, and got all my stuff out and set up!
SURELY is what I named my Thomas HPX 22 cal PCP air rifle. Sends MRD's at 910 fps. I used pellets straight out of the tin so no sorting of any kind. Here's my amatuer BR set up. Yep I just used tactical squeeze bags and a WorkX bench.
Here's a introduction to SURELY I wrote a while back shortly after I received her from Mik N.

Wind was 0-3 mph and you can see the direction of the wind which thankfully wasn't switching. I aimed 1-3 scoring rings out most of the time. COLD out at 21 degrees. The target was set where that standing rock is.
My results at 51Y. 51Y in stead of 50Y because the sun was washing the image out in my scope so I had to back up into the shade. Not bad for my first time with SURELY on a BR card. I think I ran off the reg at least once, maybe twice (9's all low right), because my SCBA only had 3400 psi in it and it goes off reg at 2300 psi. Possibly the reason for the low shots but one went off before I was ready, the trigger is only 3oz??? I shot a lot of sighters but wish I had shot more. I'm not a BR shooter, but as time goes by I'll learn! Oh and I used Mike's N50 plug to score the target.
