- Thread starter rsfrid
- Start date
Wonder why my like got the tuttie frutty hart eyes smile face now the past few times ? Im not selecting that in any way just a FYI...lol. i dont get it . Oh well.
Set up for 50yard with the r9 and funny i missed. hung a big cardboard backing to see where and how bad. Well like 6-8" low . ( ???). So i cranked it up 12 clicks and got on with this but again there's that one way out. So i cronied it and seen why so low , hi ho, hi ho so off to the work bench we goes for another retuning. Them arh seals are being mean to deal with. Should of stuck with stock hw or vortex seal.. this retuning/ dropping fps is getting old. ( Just 610fps) , Really?
Anyway 50yard, irons, cphp.177, r9 ( 1-1/2 bulls )

Wow!!! that is some good shooting!!!! Iron sights I couldn't even see the target at that distance. Now if the target was like 24" and a bright color I might hit it a few times

Hmmm.... I hear tell or was told once long ago its a think thay call skill.Yeah I sometimes get those holes in the target where I didn't aim! How does that happen?
Now dont hold me to that cause around here that skill thing is a ol' wife's tail or elusive as big foot.

Yesterday I tried the one hole challenge using my FWB300 mini shooting at 10 yards.
And just for fun I shot the RedWolf .177 for a few groups too.
The FWB300 is amazing and so much fun to shoot, I’ll try more today and I hope to get a smaller hole, something worth measuring.
I’m shooting RWS 7 grain wad cutters, and they are very accurate also cutting perfect holes.
The RedWolf will boringly put the .177 redesigned through the same hole all day lol.
I’m shooting from piles of bags and sitting, so the gun is just about as steady as possible.
Such a fun and relaxing challenge, a couple hours blow by in no time.

Some incredible groups posted on this forum - congrats to all. Thanks to RSRID for getting this started.
I decided to get in on the fun this morning. Group sizes are marked "M." Should have been "MM."
All groups shot at 18 yards or 16.46 meters. Will try some other rifle in the coming days.

Amazing! Nice shooting. This can be very relaxing if not concentrating too hard. I love getting "in the zone" and trying to visualize the pellet hitting the group.

Just one target sheet today - my great-grandson is coming over and he's a little young yet to start air gunning. Soon, though. Anyway, here is target sheet shot with my trusty HW44 and QYS Match pellets at 6 yards more or less (20 feet).

Hello everyone,
First photo is off topic but I just had to share with all my friends up North ( well most likely I don't have any now that I posted this photo ). It is a balmy 73 degrees, flowers still blooming and NO WIND .
Second photo shot the One Hole Challenge on two cards, first card not one good result, but second card not too bad. A .844mm and a .843mm shooting at 10-meters / 33 feet with my Diana Bandit. One morning I will get up and not drink a lot of coffee and have several shots of the hard stuff and maybe my old hands won't shake too badly and I can get a score in the .60mm range. This is still a lot of fun.

Not to shabby! I see you are trying the QYS pellets. My HW44 loves them. 10 meters is what they were designed for (Olympic shooting) but if you move in to 15-20 feet, you'll start seeing the one hole groups! Great fun.Hello everyone,

Thought I'd give this another go with three consecutive five shot groups, should have quit while I was ahead
