100m+ springer challange.

Sorry Nunga didn't see your question till rereading page. You can use what ever cal springer you like.
Apart from the compition and fun aspect I'm just curious to see what can be acbieved distance wise.

Well the world record is 150 yards or 137 meters. if the wind is good ill try 120 meters to start with and go from there

and to think. i spent the last 40 minutes setting up my scaffolding to shoot above the house into the bank for extra distance lol wont need it now.

That was a lesson in humility. Filled the vcan with water, lined up first shot and the can went flying. Pretty stoked with meself packed everything away walked down to can. No hole? Dent in bottom of can but it was long and not pellet like. Had me stumped and couldn't show that as a hit.
Went back set up next shot missed, 2nd shot creased the left side of can (it was empty from being on the ground) so I went down to see if it left a mark. Didn't seem too. Then I noticed the line across the top of post going to can. Turned the can around and it matched the dent. Skimmed the post top. Couldn't really call it hit.

I'm assuming the line to left is after the first shot.
So went back and fired another 4 shots. 2 hit just the right on the batten. 1 you can see the other is higher. One I heard hit the tree behind so must have went left then finally

That thinner can is much harder target by far. Didn't think it would make that much differance. It certainly knocked my ego back into place.
I'm sticking to beer cans you better shooters can use thin cans if you want but not nessary.

Hell yeah. That sig was sig pulled some pretty strait lines when we were on that 100m range.
Handent thought of 362,that could be pretty good with the right pellet, was accurate at medium ranges.
Would the co2 rifle have the distance?
Seems to be preety lethal in your hands at mid ranges?

I also take note that you are using 14 grain pellets. must be in .22 correct? So you wouldnt mind if i crack open my .22 as well?

	I’m keen to give it a try. My biggest challenge is that the furtherest I can shoot at home, across the lounge, down the passage, out the front door, across the parking area, under the boat, to the fence, is 20yards 🤔 I also think we should standardize the can size, for example a soft drink 330ml like coke or sprite, so everyone has the same size target.
	Walk quietly, but carry a big stick.

I have to go to get my crosman .22 back off my mate that i loaned to him ages ago. He has a bunny problem on his farm, Was going to go there this afternoon. then i thought to myself...gee you idiot he has 40 acres and is 10 minutes down the dam road. "" can you see the light-bulb above my head??....so guess what i will be doing tomorrow lol
