I posted this in my "Bizill's Taipan Veteran" thread and perhaps I am ready to play here in the NUAH subforum. I tell you what, this is not me, this is all the gun making this happen....keep in mind, it was dark with only a few parking lights lighting my target, though I tried to stay away from them so as not to get spotted. This was carried out safely with a backing to trap pellets and desert behind my target, no bystanders anywhere to be seen.
Taken from my thread...
Okay people, easy MOA. I have been waiting to get out somewhere to hit 100 yards and haven't done so until tonight. I was bored so I grabbed the target, Sig KILO2000 rangefinder and the Veteran and headed out to a church parking lot. That lot has 400 feet of level space so the 100 yards was ripe for the picking. Yes, it was late at night and nobody was around.
Conditions: 72 degrees out. Zero wind. 12% humidity. 2,696' elevation. 100 yard ranged. UTG Recon Bipod set up on the back of my hard tonneau truck bed cover 3' higher than target. 25.39gr JSB Exact Kings / 820fps. Zero at 20 yards. Chairgun app on Android told me 5 mildots or 50 clicks. 16X zoom. First Focal Plane Athlon Argos.
Being that I was carrying out a no-no I had to do this all within like 5 minutes span. Had my son run the target out as I metered him out to 100 yards. Target was placed near a parking lot light but I still had to turn the illuminated reticle on to see the crosshairs. Needless to say, not optimal conditions. I could just barely see the hits after I took the shot and had just enough light to get my crosshairs on the red bullseye.
Anyway, didn't sit and camp and control breathing or concentrate that much. Standing position but got my arms up and rested nicely. 5 shot group with first four measuring 0.8275 center to center. That 5th shot I pulled as I started to get antsy as police officers like to take their paperwork breaks in that spot and I wanted out. We drove over to scoop up the target and it was better than what I thought it would be. Please don't count that last shot.
This gun is more than capable. Think how well this group would be in daylight and on a rifle rest. My Lord, I think I'll be having some good times with this airgun!!...

Yup, your post title says it all
Nice shooting. I don't think you'll have any problems getting into the Club.
Don't feel bad about the group. I've been bitten by the last shot more than once.

I will eventually get on this but I need to make time to go somewhere during the daytime. I'm surrounded by desert, but lots of peeping eyes. My county is the most liberal county in AZ so who knows who's gonna call whom. Lawman shut down target shooting on all state trust land. There is a grey area for airguns but let's face it, it's not worth dealing with lawmen. Ranges, I don't care for them. Plus April is the windy month. Just yesterday we had gusts up to 50 all day. Then it gets dead calm at night until first thing in the morn.
