In honor of ThomasT I will post on this this thread he started today. I shot a 193 11X 30 yard challenge target late today when the wind calmed down to 6 mph. I was shooting my P35 - 22 using H&H Baracudas and a 40X Athlon Argos target scope. I plan to switch back to Baracuda Match now to see if scores are any better. I shot a 198 and a 197 earlier this week with the same Baracuda pellets so they are pretty good.

I went out yesterday, was thinking of Thomas, and wanted to really shoot something he would give his " 
" approval.
I took out my HM1000x to 50yards at the range(indoors) and shoot these cards.
Hope you see them

Nice shooting Mike. I reviewed your cards and your scores are too low. I know, bummer, right?I went out yesterday, was thinking of Thomas, and wanted to really shoot something he would give his "

Card 1: Dropped a point ONLY on #16 = 249
Card 2: Dropped a point on #4 & #8 = 248
Card 3: Dropped a point on #11, #14 and #19 = 247
Any clean hole, inside the heavy black ring, will plug a 10 using a .350” OD plug.

Thinking of ThomasT today too… Shot these cards testing pellets in my Vet 1 Standard .22 @ 50Y today. My buddy is going to borrow my Taipan Vet to shoot his first N50 match Saturday.

I shot a few tonight. All off hand at 10 meters. Not a great night but it is what it is sometimes. Like I Golf said. I probably won’t ever shoot another paper target without thinking about Thomas. 
I guess that’s a pretty good legacy for this forum at least huh?

I have no photo to show, and my offhand standing shots were nothing to brag about. 33' distance, Blue Streak rifle with peep sight, lots of wind. I knew it would not be a great day but thought of how long since I had shot a bullseye target with this rifle. I mean, I can't remember when! Been happily smacking cans offhand instead, and one squirrel also.
But it WAS a good return to paper practice nonetheless. I, too, am surprised at how much I am thinking of ThomasT. It's nice to see how many others also appreciate what he did.

The mental game is everything for me. I shot a dozen targets or so tonight. These 6 are the best of the lot. The other ones were way worse. They are 5 shots @ 10 Meters off hand with my 300 S. My mind was racing tonight and I just couldn’t get in the zone. Have a nice evening everyone.

Great shooting Steve. There appears to be a flier in each group. Just wondering if that is happening with any consistency, perhaps your first or last shot or if its just random?

Thanks but not great I don’t think. I did not feel in control at all tonight. The flyers are random. The only good thing was I knew where the shot went as soon as it was off. It was all mental tonight I felt. Im not a great shot or competitive but I expect to be able to keep my shots in the 3/4” circle having been doing so lately. Maybe I need one of those jackets, and a glove and shoes

Ok. So I had a couple glasses of wine and a nice dinner. Read a few threads on the forum and decided to shoot one more group. I can sleep ok now

Struggled with the 300S again today couldn’t keep them all in the dot after a lot of targets. Frustrated I grabbed the RWS 45 and managed to keep them all in on the 2nd target. Go figure 
Have a great weekend everyone

No PCPs. Both are springers. The 300S is a 10 meter rifle that is recoiless due to the sledge system it uses. The RWS aka the Diana model 45 was an early attempt at a magnum rifle. It has a rather violent recoil so it requires the right hold to shoot accurately.

RWS Diana 45 – a bridge to the past | Blog | Pyramyd AIR
by B.B. Pelletier Back in 1978, the airgun world was at the beginning of a velocity revolution. The FWB 124 had come to market earlier in the decade and was capable of almost 800 f.p.s. right out of the box. With careful tuning, it became the first spring-piston air rifle to break the 800 f.p.s.
