Well it looks like Coldking kicked my A$$...the winds were very unstable in Temecula, kinda swirly with a lot of switch backs. You really needed to time your shots or your pellet will end up in a very undesirable location....but no excuses...Coldking had a much better card than I could produce today.
Here is my first card...245 6x
2nd card.....243 6X
3rd card....244 7X
For a total of 732 19X
I have got to learn to read the wind better!
Well that's my Match cards, I hope more will follow
Peace and Bullseye Grease

Tough break Mike, I had a Fri Sat yard sale with 2 families I was obligated to do. As we finished I went it say goodbye to my friend in his out bld and saw a like new Shopsmith with all the extras. He said he got it from some woman whose husband passed away.
He offered it to me for $250.00! So I was over there today getting it. Did not get time to do 2 more cards. Hey a $2000.00 Shopsmith mark V 510 for $250.00 !! Plus all the extras you can get for it
I can do cards another day....lol

Well I made a day of it. Started out with a killer breakfast on the picnic table. Thank you honey ;-)
Well, it was pretty much my poor shooting yet again. Couldn't even get into the 230's with the unregulated .177 Air Arms S500
Was shooting the 10.34 gr JSB's scope on 16 power......that's a high as it goes ;-)
All shots taken off Tack Driver bag with rear bag under butt stock. Targets at 28 yds outdoors lasered
All pellets shot right out of the tin. unsorted
Shot 2 cards with it. 224 w/ 4X and the second one at 224 and 3X
Then I brought out the unregulated .22 FX 400 for 3 cards
Shooting the 18.1 gr JSB's with scope on 24 power
226 w/1x
234 w/1x
237 w/2x
Then I brought out the .25 Cricket
Shooting 25.39 gr JSB's with scope on 24 power because 32 power was too fuzzy
Now the first card on this started out really scary with the sight in shots? Pellets all over the place????
Then I discovered the LDC on the end of the barrel was loose? I tightened it up and the groups tightened right back up ;-)
Shot a 239 with 7 X's on that card
Then screwed up the second card with a 229 and 3 X's
So, here's the only picture of the day with the .25 Cricket rifle's first card.
I scored it without the plug since the .25 cal makes such a big hole ;-)

Glad to hear that Mike. I have a load on my plate. I am trying to finish a group of Field Targets for a friend Chirs aka NCAirgunner. I owe him 4 targets for a Styer adjustable fore arm he gave me for the new gun. And it is hunting season and I have 3 tags left to fill. My dogs get pissed if I don't have enough venision treats to last the year.......... Lol
I wiil shoot tomorrow moring if not raining. I am curious to see if I can better the 1st card with the FX.

Hey Mike - 732 in a match - ain't to shabby! And third against the likes of LD also ---
lots of good photos - looks like lots of those USFT rifles?
The wind truly is a bitch to beat! - seems like around here the only way to avoid the wind is to shoot indoors
.
Jimmy, where's the.177 cal Cricket with the sightron scope?
Looks like a nice breakfast Renae served you -
sundays don't get any better than that.
good Shooting by everybody this round

CK, I shot 3 different rifles today, didn't have time for a fourth ;-)
Besides, I haven't been shooting anything but the .177 Cricket here lately and these 3 were collecting dust ;-)

Remember the old adage, "Beware the man who only has one gun, because he knows how to use it" !
This cones from the days of the frontier explorers. They usually had only one rifle and one pistol to depend on for food and defense. They also knew that rifle and every quirk it had to make it shoot striaight.
I'm hoping to do just that when the Styer gets back from AZ's.
But being addicted as I am I cannot be the one gun man......ever! And you two are way away from being one with your stable of rifles.....lol

Hey jimmy, don't feel too bad. Here is my attempt. The fist card was during the week and in a liitle wind. the 2nd and 3rd were in a 6 mph Southwest wind almost from behind me. I would start to get good 10's and then it would go to Crap. I can't wait for our adjustable rests... Mike is there antthing in the rules that you cannot use the adjustable rest on the back of the gun and a bag up frontt. I have problems getting it right squeezing the rear bag it seems....Here are my 3 attempts...

I am not sure on that Paul, but I believe the rules state that you can not have an adjustable rest for the rear, only a bag

Hmmm
I'd better find that out, my one piece has an adjustable rear end --
but maybe rules pertain solely for two piece?
Anyhoot - good shooting Paul -
i think you just need to find a good tight rear rest, many diferant brands out there, something in a vee shape that will hold the butt firmly in place
