That's what I'm talking about Thomas! Great card! I too enjoy shooting when there is just enough light for my old eyelobes....

What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today

Mike! Very nice card! You are definitely getting closer to "the slug" your barrel needs! Don't give up!

Never!!
just need to slow the speed down more and try again tomorrow. It's weird shooting where you don't know the wind drafts. Shot on the top line and was pushed down to next line. then held off on next shots. Then it clicks off and you are back on X-hairs. Really confusing at times.
Thanks @Ranchibi

Hello everyone,
Man what a mess looking at these cards , but somewhere within is actually some good information. What happened is that I started on a new Tin of the “bad” JSB 18.13gr pellets yesterday and they did not shoot as good. So today I decided to do another test of the pellets that I have from 18gr up to 25.4gr. I only shot the JSB with the Scope zeroed at 25-yards, the balance of the pellets to give them a score I adjusted and will re-shoot them again and zero each pellet.
Taking everything into consideration at this point, I am impressed how well the Brocock Sniper XR will shoot such a wide verity of Brands and weights. I still have a lot of shooting to do

! LOL....yup, wind drift is something else but with slugs much less so than pellets! Keep at it and HAVE FUN doing so! Yes, it can be frustrating at times for sure, I have been there MANY MANY times too...! I still find my sight picture makes THE BIGGEST POI shift with slugs bar none...just a hair off and it shifts..spot on and pellet accuracy at shorter distances and better at longer distances, with pellets, not so much.Upvote 0
man you are using a ferrari in air guns in .22 cal. I'm using right now for plinking a ruger max impact elite .22 aka a honda civic

! Your B Sniper is VERY accurate with a non picky anmo barrel, an attribute that all us airgunners WANT! I am lucky like you in that my RAW's barrel is not pellet picky at all....Woo Hoo! Raining here like cats & dogs since 1am.....supposed to relent close to 3pm, I will hopefully get a chance to chuck some lead then....!Upvote 0
Nice testing! The barrel doesn't seem fussy about what it shoots. Doesn't look like sizing is necessary for this one. Big difference in the FX and MRD's, which are basically the same thing. What kind of slugs did you use? I am certain i will be doing this testing in a few weeks. Wanted to go to the range today ..but i think i need a boat to get there today...lots of rain.Hello everyone,

Hello @manabeknives
I used H&N Slug HP 21gr slugs but I really want to stay with pellets. Yeah the rifle seems to shoot various pellets OK, but I want a lot better than OK. Other than a new Tin of pellets I don't know why my accuracy has changed so much. As you see in my notes I plan to re-shoot a full card of five of the pellets for a complete test and will zero the scope for each pellet.
I am pretty much shot out for today
, or at least for now.ThomasT

Hello everyone,
I shot a full card MOA 25-Yard with 23 out of 30 hitting the bullseye which is 76%. Not perfect but not a “flyer” in the 7 misses and this was shot with Pellet #8 / AA Heavy 18gr .

Hello @rsfrid
Those are from a Black Marker that I used to "re-locate" those pellets that I shot without zeroing the scope. To be able to "score" them as close to equal that I could, I would lay the "shot" page on top of a clean target, then align the holes as close as possible as if one or more was a "X" and then mark all the holes with the marker ....is that crazy or what ....
, hey it worked. Anyway I simply reused that target to shoot The AA Heavy 18gr shot seven bullseyes out of 10 on the "Test Card" and 76% on the full card, that is pretty good.

Glad to see you being economical! I always thought you were wasting most of the card by always using only that tiny little circle in the center. I'm for eliminating waste and scattering those holes all over the card!Hello @rsfrid

Hello @Greenarrow
Yep sure do, paper + target . We aren't real picky around here, the main thing is to get out and shoot.
You have some very nice groups there for 50-foot and open / iron sights.
