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.

Sheesh, great shooting.

I have had no time to get to somewhere to shoot that distance during the day, but would still love to try. Don't have .22 springer, but will try with .177 if I get a chance.

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.

Yep.
Starling at a hundred above where I put my skill level at for a clean kill in one shot.
Gun is definitely capable of it.

I expected scepticism. Really have no issues with it.
Personally couldn't care who believes it. I shot a can at that distance that is something I know I've done. 👍
I would have liked some one there, to call the shots. Doing a group then walking down sux. By time you walk back you're back to repositioning yourself. The amount of times I had sussed what I needed to do as I walked back and made the holdover adjustments got everything perfect, and hadn't taken the saftey catch off was infuriating.
The biggest factors I have here is the still days (been dead still all day today too) dirty great backboard so I can see what's going on and the drop to target. It allowed me to keep the shooting angle less extreme from bench.
As for what the others do, I'm fully expecting to be beaten. I'm not a target shooter, I'm running a nice gun and nice scope but that's it. Both stock. Fully rested.
I cannot see why it shouldn't go out to 180m 190m, even 200m wouldn't surprise me.
Thanks Pete.

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.

Walk quietly, but carry a big stick.

Heres the final pic with beer cans, gun, pellets and one of three sun screens it had for the scope over course of shooting.
I'm stoked. I've shot my gun as far it will puncture a can at.
I've pushed myself and the gun and pulled off what i consider a awsome shot. I'm stoked with me and my gun.
I'm expecting one of you guys to beat it.
You guys have more powerful guns, guns you've worked your prefrances into, a lot better shooters than me with those guns.
There's still 100 bucks on it.
If no one claims the hundy bucks off me, I'll flip it back into a comp more suited to more people.
But frankly you all suck for not even commenting on what was a lot of effort, time and skill for me to make that shot.
Lets see you do better and get that hundy.

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