Pretty good 25m card in 9-16 wind

[thomasair]

It got up to 55 today, but the spring winds came along with the warmer weather. I got outside for one card between anodizing runs.

I measured the wind for a few minutes and got between 9 and 16 mph. There were some much heavier gusts a few times as I shot. I avoided those. You can see my first few sighters on the left side and the drift before I began holding off. Most holds were from 6 ring to the edge of target box. The tricky part was the vertical. It burned me a few times.

A 245 9x at 25m in this wind is probably pretty good...but I shot it at 50y. For 50...I’m super pleased. 42gr slugs

Very nice Mike!, shooting a 25m card @ 50yds, a very good looking card for those conditions.

WELL DONE!

I love a twist! That’s remarkable.

Now, that is some phenomenally great shooting! That would be very very very difficult to duplicate!

Well done!

Thanks....

Very nice shooting. Can you tell us more about the air gun? 

Thanks, Stoti

Sure....it’s my Thomas HP 22 cal slug gun. It is set up to run tethered with the regulator in the nose of the tube so the entire tube is a plenum. Shooting a 42gr slug about 840.

That’s awesome! I had heard talk of a Thomas “slug gun” but had never heard mention or seen one on your web site. Thank you for sharing, the gun is beautiful and the accuracy is really darn impressive...I know you had something to do with it too.  

Have a good one.

Thanks....we don’t put much effort into the website, sorry. Already have more work than one man can do.
