DAYSTATE REPORT

Animal, have you actually sighted in the gun from a sturdy rest like a bench? Practicing from a hunting position is great but if the gun is not sighted in perfectly to start you can get skewed results. Another suggestion if you're carrying a trigger stick tripod maybe look into a Caldwell Deadshot field pod. They have a strap for carrying and 10x more stable than a trigger stick tripod because the rear is supported as well. I have used them in Idaho shooting ground squirrels and it allowed me to take very long accurate shots that a stick wouldn't provide. Just an idea. Downside is you need a small 3 legged collapsible stool.

100 yard groups and a crack at a EBR target.. feel cocky and nailed the picture of a pellet in the logo.... gives me goose bumps...

Hookster; no I have not, and this has been my bane since day one. I desperately want to be able to have access to a sit-down bench with space enough for a lock-down rifle rest. (I have a nice lock-down rifle rest.) But, the public rifle range situation down here in SoCal SUX!! I acknowledge that it is critical to get a perfect zero, as everything else is dependent on the accuracy of this. I stipulate that while my Trigger Stick is great for on-the-fly shots when hunting, but is ill-suited for zeroing and ranging groups. I even bought a two-point rifle rest attachment for my Trigger Stick, but it's wobbly as #$%^!

I have looked at the Caldwell Deadshot before, but I have given it a second look off of your post. Perhaps I could use the Deadshot for zeroing and groups, and the Trigger Stick for hunting. Thank you for that insight! (It seems like a duh moment now!)

I'm thinking the FieldPod Magnum, which can be used while standing (https://www.cabelas.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=1612336&type=product&WT.z_btnclk=YMAL-1612336&WT.z_pg_ref=prd1209592#tabsCollection.) Thoughts?

Wicked shootin'... we'll see what I can do this weekend at those distances with me lil'wolf.... EBR here I come

Hookster, I pulled the trigger on the Deadshot Magnum tripod. (See what I did there?) Thanks for the heads-up . I have a technical question. Is it necessary to level the bore of the rifle with the target during zeroing?

You should always try to be as level as you can when sighting in. That way the up and down variables can be just inputs later in an app like chair gun or Strelok. You can lock the field pod down for no movement to sight in or loosen slightly to allow for scanning your semi desert area. The one feature I really like with this rest is you can lock it down and be almost 100% off the gun to remove your body movements and breathing out of the equation. 

Thank you for that Hookster . I can lock down my DeadShot level and adjust my Trigger Stick accordingly (with a target attached).

I don't know if this matters, but I use a tilt-technology rangefinder, which always returns the horizontal distance regardless of angle. This allows the use of the zero angle output from Chairgun, regardless of the angle.

@spaw, damn Ken, good shooting. Oh wait, 50 yard targets at 75 and 100 yards? Let me upgrade good to GREAT shooting! Glad I’m in the Sportsman Class!!! See you there!

Mike. 

I'm with you on that one Centercut. I did manage to get out to 65 yards today with the help of my sister's back yard. Since I changed the tune just a bit (Thank you Michael), this RedWolf is even more amazing.

It was calm during the time I shot the targets below, and of course, not every group looked like these. I'll show you a couple of the best 5 shot groups to show what this gun can do. Oh yeah, and pellets straight from the tin.

I hope I can get those kind of results when I get my Caldwell Magnum DeadShot FieldPod.

Damn, SPAW. I was headed to EBR but after looking at your target results, think I will just stay home! But on

the bright side AOA is setting up a RW 22HP for me to pick up there. And here I said I was not going to buy another high priced airgun. Im a ROCK!! sylvan

Here is my new Caldwell Magnum DeadShot FieldPod! It's good and solid, and levels-up nicely. It also folds up neatly for carrying. It's not as heavy as I thought it would be.Now I can get a good zero :

Hey, Tony; any plans on the table to produce a fully-electronic bullpup platform with 80+ ft# and a decent shot count? (20+ per fill)

I just got back from the range where I zeroed and grouped my new Pulsar HP .25 using my new DeadShot. My zero was Chairgun optimal (42.9 yds). I then shot groups at 50 yds, 75 yds, and 100 yds. All groups were five shots, no mulligans ;-). I know I probably can get better groups with JSBs, but I am willing to sacrifice a little accuracy for the incredible stopping power of the H&N Hunter Extremes.

Nice set-up, AH! Did you make the target stands? Those are cool.

Your groups will tighten up with the JSB's, 4sure. Give'm a shot

I just ordered a tin of JSB King 25.39s. They will have to be extremely tight groups though for me to give up the stopping power of the HEs!

No, Oregun; that's just my Primos Trigger Stick tripod w/ two-point rest repurposed! I actually use that for hunting. I use the DeadShot for zeroing and groups.

that's some great shooting

Now c'mon, Crusher; no mulligans! Cherry-picking is not allowed. Just kidding

I have access to a 100 yd range. Since the RedWolf is basically a Pulsar with a prom dress, I'll give you an idea of what your RW can do at 100. My JSBs will be here soon. I'm really anxious to see what my baby can do. I really want my Pulsar to be a 100 yd gun. Although I like the stopping power of the Hunter Extremes, 4" groups at 100 is a bridge too far. I want more than tail feathers!

I'm really excited that I finally have a benchrest-quality set-up for the field in the DeadShot to where I can get a true indication of pellet / gun performance. Believe me, the more personal influence I can take out of my shooting mechanics, the better!
