Hey Mike,
I did get out this morning at my local outdoor range to shoot some 100 yard EBR cards. I probably should not post these here since I am not attending RMAC, but I wasn't sure whether I should just start a new thread or post here. You have more followers, so I will ride on your coat tails. LOL.
Anyway, I did have two flags out and I lazer'd 98 yards because the BERM is a mess for the 100 yard benches. I shot a total of four cards, shooting one bull at a time, then repeat 4 more times. Boy, is that harder than just shooting 5 shots at just one bull!
I was using the Red Wolf Safari HP .22 shooting MRDs at 970 FPS on Medium Power. Barrel was cleaned before I started. Weather channel had the wind at 5-10 MPH, but it was less than 5 mph at times too. I had a bunch of tail wind conditions that I just could not figure out. Typically, the pellet pushes upward, but my shots were going left of my hold. Much of my holds were at the 3:00 pm outer 8 or 7 ring and I played around with my elevation holds. Sometimes I would nail a 10, but other times not. It's tricky watching both flags, and deciding what to do. If I had a left to right 10am wind condition that I could get fairly often, I think I may have done better. Shot a 213, 214, 214 and a 220
In any case, I had fun and all I can say is that shooting a 225, 227 and a 229 in that 7 mph wind is hard. Takes a lot of practice and experience, I realize. This whole flag thing at 100 yards in no walk in the park!
p.s. A guy next to me was going Elk hunting in New Mexico and shot 3 shots with his powder burner and was gone. He was doing a final sight in for his trip and after he shot 1/2" sub MOA at 100 yards and he was good to go. He kids me about using the air rifle at 100 yards, but in a good joking kind of way.
