I shot some more "scoring" targets in a light wind 0 to 5 mainly from behind switching from left to right using the same setup on my Crown(see previous posts) using JSB 18g. Even this slight breeze was moving the pellets around pretty good. These first 2 targets were pretty poor. I made some errors rushing back and forth to the sighters- Lost my place and shot at a target twice(missed both times, one shot hit a target I already shot), used the wrong holdover hash and hit the target above it(I know, I know, ALWAYS zero the gun to the distance you are shooting, but it had shot so well in previous testing that I was afraid to touch it), etc...
The wind started to lay down and calm out. I zeroed the scope to 100yards(so I wouldn't have to use holdover). I remembered advice from Centercut to not take too many shots in a row unless I was sure, and advice(?) from YO! that maybe I should wait and shoot on a calmer day, and I shot this target:
Scored pretty good, but these were dead calm conditions. Some shots were not exactly where I thought they should be, so I decided to shoot some groups at 50 and 100 yards again. 50 was ok, but 100 yard group was a little open(may be time to clean the barrel?). Then, since I had re-zeroed for 100 yards, I figured I might might have enough holdover hash marks to hit at 150 yards. I took the target out to the 150 yard stand, checked Strelock Pro(5 mils of holdover) and fired a few shots(not having shot targets with this setup at 150 yards before). This is the target:
