Is that some special kind of pop top? They usually stay attached to the can or lid. Or I can do bottle tops.

HA! There are enough cans strewn around the roadways that I probably have at least 2 cans within 100' of my mailbox. (slobs) The cans usually have the tabs attached, but if you bend it back and forth a few times it comes right off.

Did I miss what the 'Giveaway' was in another post? What are we trying to win??

Here's my entry for the Umarex Pop Top Challenge, shot at 12M offhand with my Hatsan Flashpup .22. Started with 7 tabs and shot 2 magazines of 12 shots each and had my best shooting offhand ever! Not only did I hole two of seven I pushed four others through the paper and dented one of those four with a previous shot! Had some fliers but I'm seriously happy with my results!

I really need to learn to use a sling, I think I could really tighten things up if I could lessen my twitchiness.

Here's my entry. After a practice sheet, these are the last 3 shots. I used my Brocock Concept Lite from 30 yds from a Kopfjager reaper Grip.

Shot 3. (so excited about shot to, pulled it) Low right
Shot 4. re-composed and got it in
Shot 5. slightly right (call'n it a hit)
Shot 6. (what the heck?) WIDE RIGHT
Shot 7. (That's better) bottom edge

Umarex gauntlet 4th shot 30 yds. Wasn’t sure which way to hold the pop top.

Stilllooking · « **Reply #17 on:** July 08, 2020, 04:14:58 PM »

Well I hope this will be ok. ?

Marauder .177 shot off bench @ 35 yards

All shots were at opening except the one “proper “ hit. Chickened out On 2nd can as real gusty winds were rolling in.
May try another day with the .22 Gauntlet.

Front and back of cans.

Wow, we have some accurate shooters on GTA, not a good day to be a can!

Frank in Fairfield · « **Reply #19 on:** July 08, 2020, 09:58:17 PM »

Don’t need another air arm.
Not shooting.
I hope who ever wins donates the rifle to GTA so they can hold a raffle.
