Heading to my first Benchrest Match this weekend with the FWB I've posted about . Gonna see how tough it is in the "real world " outside my backyard ...No doubt at ALL I'm due for a good butt kicking !! But ya can't learn nothing by winning :). I'll update next week when I see how my gun and myself stack up to the bigboys
 
Yep that's shot at 25 yards . That was a week or two ago I shot that . I don't have a target that's the size they use . So I just shoot this one for practice . I shot one target yesterday that honestly was nothing but 10s and 9s but then the springer gods struck and back to normal size groups :). I'm gonna tear her down and relube everything tobite at the hotel and maybe hit on that " perfect " formula :)

Joe, those are good looking targets. I think your going to be surprised. Unless you stay up all night before the shoot chasing loose woman and drinking. I've ordered in about a half dozen new types of pellets to try and a new sports match scope mount. Vortex said they will have my scope back in a couple of weeks. Been thinking about tearing my FWB down again and re-lubing and cleaning the spring. It's a damned sickness. I'm going to head out of town and pursue other hobbies for a couple of weeks and get away from these damned airguns before my wife has me committed. Good luck! Are you planning on competing in EBR this year?

Well as predicted I got my azz handed to me today. Lol ...Had Great time at Arlington Sportsman's Club and met some really nice folks and good shooting and hospitality. Thanks to Terry P for inviting me . It won't be the last time I shoot there .
Hit a small snag that's been happening fairly often . . I will be shooting and out of nowhere I get several flyers that go right .. All the usual suspects have been checked off the list ..Check out these pics of today's card ..One with red dots ...I got no idea what's up with this ?

Thanks AZ , no man it wasn't the wind , it has been happening at home also on dead still days ...25 meters by the way ...The range just moved it back from.25 yards a few weeks ago . its always same poi shift to the right ...I've tore down the gun twice changing lubes and making sure there was nothing loose or in a bind ..Weird part is after 4-5 shots poi goes right back to zero ...I'll figure it out ...Have EXACT same scope on the Mini and I love it !!!!
Was thinking of sending it to custom shop for a target dot but then fine duplex is growing on me :)

Hey Joe,
Are you using a magazine or single load?
If a magazine... Well, you're a smart guy, I'm sure you know what to look into.
If single load, could it be that on that third row you've started to lose focus on your loading technique? This could result in a shaved head or skirt which might be throwing your shot off. 
Just a thought I had while reading your thread.
Happy Shooting!
Tom
