Mid next week should give a window. High coming in. Here's hoping it's good enough some where to get a shoot in this weekend.

Sigh last few days still as, sunny, but bulls in paddock.
Today still as, no bulls, showery sigh.
Stops me using my sighting cardboard. Which is purpose of this post.
That big piece of cardboard I use for ranging and is totally invaluable for getting drop and catching windage at these distances (all way beyond what I've sighted in for and shot an air rifle at before) is approx 6ft x 2m. (yeah I know it's differnt units)
And is half a box, a bed head board came in. I cut it in half and have shot the first half to pieces.
It maybe possible to get one from your local bed dealer if they have one out back.
Honestly without it I'd probly still be plinking away at 120m.
Anyway hopefully a few of you will be able to get out this weekend and put a few cans down. I'll be attempting over 150m if weather permits. Still be keen on those hundy plus can shots for impact comparison.

Fun!wish i had some distance to try! ive got around 20m in the yard, but i do remember going to a property and testing the legs of the FWB 300s off his deck - hanging bottle at 50yards as fun, and managed to hit a fence post at 100ish a couple of times - seemed like a long time for the pellet to hit the post!

157m will be next distance for me.

So i went to get my .22 of my mate. checked out his paddocks and I will be setting up at 150 meters next weekend. Will take all the cameras with the range finder and do it properly. I will be sticking to .177 cal even tho i have my .25 hatsan sitting there doing nothing. as well as a few high power .22's

So had coffee and wind had stilled a bit.
Decided after 15 missed shots I better change cardboard from huge on one side to a couple of pieces both sides so I could figure out exactly where I was going off.
Turned out it was a half post and had to use 1 piece sideways ,other just put down against post.
1st shot missed everything. 2nd shot hit cardboard and that's when it happened... For the first time since we started light shone through the hole. I didn't have to walk down to check my impact. Measured the windage 1.25 mildots, applied to opposite side and can went down.
Same gun and ammo.
Gun fully rested on a bag. Left arm crossed under stock to right arm for rear stabalisation.
Scope is just a hair under 12x zoom. Aim point bottom of the glass of retical.



Bloody stoked with gun, and me self too.

Changed tactkets first was to much guessing.
So readjusted the zoom so the extra drop from the 120m was in the bottom of scope.
First shot does it count? It skimed it. I'll try and get a clean shot but the morning still air has started to move


15 shots later haven't hit, been some close but not quite. Coffee time.
