I get a heap of still days here. More than anywhere else I've emcouteredd around nz. Today is not one.
Shooting at 168.9m I think it was.
10km winds gusting to 23km Ave around 14km where I shoot from.
12km to 15km past macs pretty constant then strait back to 10/12km gusting to over 20km sitting around average of 17km. Gully to left sets up slightly differnt wind angles as wind crosses it as well.
Least it's all from the left this time.
I've got can at bottom of that back board and are putting last mildot mark on retical about 1/3 of way up that stick.
Thats brought me to right level approx but the wind is just whipping my arse for windage. Closest I've gotten is about inch above can in centre.
Most now are landing around the right hight but I haven't been able to get the windage right. Coffee time getting bit frustrated.

The new and improved 165m backdrop with extended drop points, stick with marks.
Maybe with better fixed aim points maybe able to squeeze a bit more out of 97.

165m not a go for me.
I've ended up min zoom being 6x, holding above the target. Nearly 3 mildot above the bottom of retical glass. I've shot groups (for lack of a better word) nothing that would hint at consistent placement. Nothing grouping within 6inches of each other mostly around 12inch plus.
Closest shot was about 3inchs high and center but that was the exception not the rule.
Fully rested, no wind to very light breeze.
Pellets not sorted so will sort them and may try again another day.
Never found as many cardboard hits as I heard! Though most punched through some only marked cardboard and there were times I'd count the hits and couldn't find them at all. All shots marked before next group.
So somewhere between last distance 157m and 165m I'm guessing the pellets start to slow enough to start misbehaving. My shooting could have been crap today but it felt good. Still bit of fun. For now I'm sitting at 156.9m and happy about getting that far.😊
Timed the pellet after I decided to stop.
Gun stock on bag, hit stopwatch as pulled trigger. Stopped as soon as heard impact.
Subtrack what you will for reaction time but it is still a long time in air.
14.66gr pellet
159fps
165m

Chair gun recons at target 475fps/3.5fpe approximately.

Sounds like a goer.
That extra 100 fps, over what mine has, will hopefully give the .22 that extra range to push out past what mine will do. Im hoping I can make 170m before power drops too much. Anything over that I'm going from totally stoked to over the moon.
Be interesting to see how much more penitration you get, out where mine is starting lose it.
