ER00z:
I have been trying to get things sorted out to join in on the NUAH fun. My target post is set up at ~105 yards via range finder from my back deck. Things weren't looking good with the Gamo Magnum, so I "dusted off" my Diana 54 Air King in .22 (a springer) to take some practice shots. After I thought I had the wind figured out, it changed it's mind  ;D
(No windage flags up right now)

Currently using a white foam board as a backer, it's quickly filling up with holes, but only 5 shots were taken at the target per attempt. I'll have to come up with something a bit different as a backer.

Here's peek to the 54's performance... The wind quit and landed those 3 shots whare I was holding on the right  >:(  :P  ;D

(Also, a previous photo through the range finder, from my shooting position to the same post with foam board pinned to it)

Glad to see you here, Zack.... You'll figure it out, and have a blast doing it!....  8)

ER00z:
Thanks Bob! I'm looking forward to reaching out with a few of my springers.  Looking through previous matches, I see there's some solid performers and have my work cut out for me. Hoping this year will have a good turnout.

Take care

ER00z:
Still a no-go...

It's Friday night after a crazy week, the Misses is cooking supper and rain was on the way. I know it takes a few shots for the Diana 54 to "warm up" and then a few more for me. So in a rush, I fire off 5 at 50 yards hoping the gun and I will "be in tune" then the NUAH target called to me... "Hey, bet you can't get me..."

Well I made an attempt again (photo below), but we (The gun and I) just weren't ready yet. Seems the last two, aside from windage, showed we were ready to rock. As I was half way to the target to post a fresh one up, the rain started to come  :(

With any luck, this will be the week. Also looking to get something good for the 100 yard match. So hold on guys (and gals) the springers are coming...  ;D

JuryRigger:
You're right on track; for sure!  :D
Most of your groups just needed a bit of shifting to center on the bull; and you'd have made Member already!  8)
