Good shooting! If I ever live where I can shoot outside again I want to try this for real
I used to hunt grasshoppers in the late summer years ago with an HW 30 Cabbage butterflies are pretty good targets too. I used to shoot them with my recurve and judo points in my hay field. I miss those daysUpvote 0
Crown MK2 shooting JSB Kings 25.39 in green, Zelos shooting FX 25.39, Wildcat MK1 shooting JTS 25.39. All 25 cal.
The Zelos is by far the least consistently accurate PCP I have. Ironically it’s the most consistent ES/SD PCP I have.

Probably Florida at some point. I have sisters that live there. Probably book a hunt while visiting

Thank you Steve! I do hope you get to shoot outside again SOON! Pretty cool sniping grasshoppers & cabbage butterflies, good memories!Upvote 0
Shot three different pellets through the Zelos today. The top row is FX 25.39, followed by JTS Dead Center 25.39. The third tachycardic row is Olympia Domes XL Middle 25gr, the worst tin of pellets I’ve ever used. Full of lead shavings in the tin. The yellow highlighted row was where I was aiming.
I shot the Wildcat and the Crown in the following rows, hitting the reg on both guns. Both shot the FX 25.39. (.25 cals at 20 yards.)

Nice shooting! Where did you source these targets? UA asks for $5 ea for their 100 yard targets and that seems steep

I just print them on my home printer, they are on 8.5x14 legal paper not "11x14". They are just the 7,8,9,10x rings from a RMAC, EBR target. Designed them with Inkscape to the correct size.

It’s been a few days, but I got the chance to shoot this morning. I took the 20 yard target and edited a little so that I can have a 2.5mm center dot to try to hold on. The Crown and I weren’t vibing this morning, maybe I’ll try again this afternoon.

Love these types of targets.
I used to shoot these all the time inside my apt for practice.
Had a challenge made up about this kind of shooting a decade ago...it still exists!!

Just curious for the Zelos was that FX the most accurate of the 3 of the 25.39. I'm shooting the 28g HP dish base slugs from my .22 cal Zelos , and very accurate as well. I wonder if the .25 would be more accurate with a heavier pellet , or slug. I only shoot paper ,but the APOLO slugs were cheaper , so I tried them. I went to Ace Hardware, and bought a bit of plastic tubing covered the barrel under the shroud even the exposed part back by my face , and it is so quiet , and more accurate now. It turned out to be a simple mod real easy to do , and man it was a great idea. OV. Edit: Love the target going to use this , and nice shooting by the way.
