Guess I need to get ahold of some match style targets. Hate to be perceived as just a "cherry picker" shooting impeccable groups. Stay tuned.

Salticon, Were you using the Kings when you shot the video or the newer gun that uses 34 grain pellets. Nice shooting because that looks like a bit of wind.

I'm content with this 75 yard card. Got a baseline now and will strive to get over 80pts, then 85, etc. Like @salticon said, it's not as easy as setting up and drilling a hole on one POA. Fun Fact: This target is 62 years old! Got an unopened pack of 50 of them. Hopefully I'm not blowing holes in some rare collectible..
And then this happened. I guess 90 is the new goal! I doubt when they printed these 50 foot targets in 1955 they imagined them being used with a pellet gun from 150 feet.

Thanks, man. I shot 3, averaged 82 points. I have NO idea how this would score on a proper 75 yard target. The X's on these are only .200" diameter! This gun is incredible. Shot 1 quick 100 yard group before packing up and I was pissed it was .816". Wind got me on the last shot, haha.

If you can shoot sub 1 MOA at 75 and 100 in goofy winds you will be at the top of the score card for the EBR. Remember that inward scoring is used, not sure what size plug they are using, but logically it would be a 35cal plug. Shooting X's typically will only break a tie so while they are nice to hit, I'm just as happy with barely breaking the 10 ring as I am at center punching an X ring 
Something to keep in the back of your mind too, AoA tends to switch things at the EBR every year. For all we know now, the target from 2016 might be long gone for 2017, or exactly the same. We won't know till they announce things...

Been thinking the same. My guess would be AOA.. Would sure be nice to have the exact, gold standard target to practice with, just in case a trip to AZ is in the "cards" haha

Shot these groups just as it was getting dark this evening. FX Royale shooting JSB MK2's at around 840fps. Wind was calm.
Group average was .778 Close up is of the smallest group. Best 75 yard group yet. I find the Royale 500 is very sensitive to hold, especially past 50 yards. Mine needs a fairly firm hold with the trigger hand.

With shooting like that at 75 yards, you guys should easily be able to qualify for the NOTHING UNDER 100 CLUB on GTA forums. That is my goal someday but I still don't have an accurate enough airgun.

I don't know.... 75 yards is much harder than 50 and, in my experience, 100 is a whole other deal. It just get's exponentially harder after 50 yards. But, I'll keep trying!!

Chas, you may think that the wind was calm but your targets say otherwise. Probably less than 3 mph but drifting left to right for sure.

Five shot group at 75 yards with the 25 Cricket. 34 grain JSB's at 915 fps. Wind was 1 - 3 mph.
