100m+ springer challange.

Here's the basics of what I'm setting up for a hit light.
I'm trying to make it sensitive as possible as I'm only getting about 1.18 fpe, if the calculators are right.
For the switch I'm using a cci mini mag cartridge container.
Two electrical connections.
One female plug for the spot light to plug into.
The female plug will have a direct connection to battery and a connection to the bottom electrical connector on cci box. The top arm will connect from target plate and the electrical connection on arm and will connect to other terminal on female plug.
The arm has a small amount of plastic below the connection plate to keep the connections separate untill the arm is pushed the mm or so back. The arm falls and completes the connection, spot light turns on. Stays on mind you, flashing bit past my basic set up.

Still working on best way to hang target plate or make a slide for it so it can move back as a unit. Sort that later, but have couple of ideas. For now waiting for epoxy to dry on connections enough to keep working on it.

If figure I'll just mount the spot on top of the backboard with a shroud over it.
See how it all works out.

I hope you are not going to leave it leaning up against your van while testing

I dont see it as anything like great shooting honestly. It's basically walking pellets to the target then trying to tweek the shot.
Your 138m rabbit shot is more notable, as it was done in 2 shots,without having to check where you were hitting. (mind you I suspect that was pcp with self aiming scope).
I've been mucking around with ideas for one of those target hit lights, (on paper) tonight. Yet another great idea, I had no idea about till it popped up on that thread.
The shot is totally redoable and I'd like to catch it on the phone, it may pick a light up at 170m+, but won't show a can that far.
I ain't paying over a hundy bucks for one, when I think I've sorted a way to do it with a bit of can, some wire, hunting spotlight and battery
See if I can piece it together tomorrow.
Threads not going anywhere Pauly. Even after the compition ends if you shoot more put it up. Time limit is for prize, no reason to stop extending the distance when shots further are made. I'll be pretty disappointed if this the furthest shot, heap of shooters on this site are capable of more distance they get the time, space and weather.

Score.
Big save furniture, let me have these (there's a lid behind it)
Perfect for a long distance back drop.
Eager to get rid of it too. Less rubbish for them I suppose.

Woooo hoop that's awesome.

Would you hesitate to take a shot at a starling at 100 now?

172m is a very impressive shot, well done Kruza.
I’d have liked to see it with my own eyes.
Not because i think you cheating or lying, I don’t, but simply because I’d love to see someone shooting a can at 172m with a springer 👌🏻
If I had the space I’d be participating, for sure.
At the moment I’m about to remove the RRR and rezero the scope on my CFR, shooting through my house into the garden at my max, 20yards 😂
Impressive shot, well done. 👍🏻
Keen to see what the other guys are achieving distance wise.

That group around the can, 47cmx45cm approx.
I spent a few shots over estamating the drift, and finding drop.
