Awesome scores in both the Jumper and PCP classes this time around. Norm_m got a perfect score in the PCP class.
In the Jumper/Springer class Nitrocrushr wins the GOLD, Mr Sasquatch brought home the SILVER and marty2 is on the podium with BRONZE.
In the PCP class Norm_m wins the GOLD with a perfect score plus 12 "X"s, Plan B and Kim followed close behind to earn the SILVER with identical scores.....so there will be no BRONZE medal giving out this time.
Congratulations to all the participants.

No fishing, just a family getaway. We did go on an awesome snorkeling trip. Saw a barracuda, stingrays, a manatee and lots of dolphin :D

Great shooting everyone. Looking forward to the next match.
I was able to shoot a target this AM......... I think I'll try a couple more before I post it though :o ::)

Wow awesome shooting everyone!

You got hit chickens?
My team of lawyers will also be addressing the super duper,controversy, they're meeting with the moderators next week. I wish I could be there but I'm hosting another global warming seminar in San fransisco!!
-
Nice shooting everyone. I don't have my rifle back yet, so I'll use my son-in-laws TX. Last match, the only day I had to post a target, it stormed all day. Lot's of time this week.

Pappy, if it shoots anything like Mr Squach's , yall gona b double trouble. I ain't gittin my rws 36 out around yall.

-

Good shootin yall. Time to start lookin for a unwindy morning or evening.

Tommy, you keep shootin' that FX .... and go after Norm. I'm anticipating a 200/200 out of you.
Interesting .... I send my gun out to CA so Motorhead can give it a little check-up. I sent it USPS 2-day Priority, on May 28th. They said the estimated delivery date was Saturday May 30th. I tracked it .... however the destination marker wasn't progressing. So, I figure it was stalled somewhere, Sunday they don't deliver, so Monday at the latest, right? Monday, I went out of town, returning Thursday, expecting the rifle to be delivered. Upon my return, it is in CA (San Jose) which is 2 hours from the final destination ... and now the meter turned orange and is "delayed". That makes 9 working days, and not delivered .... so much for 2 Day Priority. I sent them an e-mail, but it takes about 3 days for a reply. The only good thing so far .... it's not lost! Hopefully Monday or Tuesday, and then I will pursue getting my 2 day priority money back. Oh well, stuff happens.

Sorry to hear about shipping probs Pappy, sounds like you are handling it well. Maybe it won't take this long to git back?

Sorry to hear about your shipping issues Pappy. Hopefully you get that TX back soon! I sent my defective Optisan back and they sent me a brand new replacement. Should have it tomorrow. If I do, then I'll have my TX back in action by the weekend ;D

That's nothing. I sent a package 2 day priority mail to WV. I am in Oldtown Md and WV is a hop skip and a jump for me. 4 days later they never got the package and it was stalled on the tracking site. The next day I check it again and it was in Florida!!! It gave me a delayed status and no estimated delivery date. It finally showed up but they need to stop hiring Walmart cart pushers at the post office.

Rumors around here of sasquatches hijacking fedex & ups trucks!!
-
Wow, never again using USPS. Scott (Motorhead) received it today! I had packed the action in a heavy duty tube. Super taped everything secure. Scott said the one tube end was missing, and the trigger sticking out through the side. My guess is they were using it as a bat at some softball game? Scott said the trigger looked fine, and so did the action itself.
Eleven work days to get there! Get this ... I called them for a refund, because I paid for 2-day priority. They said there is no guarantee with 2-day priority, only with 2-day or better Express. Oh well, live and learn.
By the way .... the only reason Nitro took Gold in springer, is that the Squatch was shooting in 30mph winds, and me and Joe P didn't shoot. ;D ;D Just messin' with you Nitro, good shooting ... but watch out.

When the winds are strong at my range and my scores drop I revert to my plan B Will do anything to win. ;D ;D ;D ;D

I hear yah.....you better get in some range time in preparation for the podium! I see Squatch left a very large foot print on the 30-yard range this week. Georgia locals reported seeing a large hairy creature carrying a TX200 with a big grin on his face ;D. We better get to work now if were gonna top that one ;)
-
Nitro, Don't worry about wind....I am in the process of building a climate controlled 30 yard indoor range here at the new house. Wind won't be a problem. Let Squatch and the gang deal with the wind. I am also in the process of installing 6 Sasquatch traps so we don't get any surprise guests on the property! 😂
-
Correct me if I'm mistaken here but wouldn't climate controlled all indoor be on the super duper list?
-
In order to mess with the Squatch ..... we need to get some Jack's Links Beef Jerky!
Pappy
-
No comprende? Is that Sasquatch bait?
-
Yes, watch the commercials on YouTube.
-
Please pardon me for being serious for a minute.
Do yall weigh pellets and with what? I been using a $25 scale and thought it was ok but it ain't.
-
Yes, watch the commercials on YouTube.
Yeah, that was the gig my younger, better looking, smarter, and more musically talented second cousin got.
-
LOL ... Squatch ..
Plan B .... no, I don't weigh'em, wash'em, measure'em, just pull them out of the tin and shoot'em.
I don't buy bargain pellets, mostly AA and H&N. I have a lot of JSB Exacts etc which seem to have the least consistency out of the three. I have had a tin of inconsistant H&N FTT's once.

Tommy, you are a regular party pooper. ;D
I started sorting my pellets by weight only this year. I also use a ~$25 electronic scale from Amazon. Why do you say it ain't good? Do you know something I don't?
-
I'v prolly weighed 2-3000 pellets, maybe it's battery? But it doesn't appear to be bad. I can weigh about 50 pellets and go back and check um and many will be 4 to 8 hundredths off. I'm not sure that's enough to matter but I really don't enjoy weighing pellets( too much excitement's hard on my heart) and if I'm gona spend an hour doing it , I want them to be right.
I'll try another battery but if these little scales are accurate, why do people buy $300 to $3000 scales to do the same thang??
Here is about as wise as I git. I have never bought the best and later wished I'd bought a cheaper one.
-
I think that 0.04 gr off on the same pellet is the best you can get with these dinky scales. I usually am within +/- 0.02 gr on repeated tries with the same pellet. Also if you happen to breath too hard in the direction of the scale your reading will go crazy.
Really you do not need to be any more accurate with weighing pellets. In my opinion you only need to separate outliers, those that are really either too light or too heavy. I sort them into several "bins". For example, if the tin says that the pellet weight is 8.44 gr I mark old tin bottoms with weight these ranges: less than 8.3, 8.3 -8.4, 8.4-8.5, 8.5-8.6, 8.6-8.7 and 8.7+ Most on the pellets will be in the 8.4-8.6 gr range, but there usually will be maybe 20 pellets lighter than 8.3 gr, and 20-30 heavier than 8.7 gr. per a 500 count tin. Those I use for warm up shots.
When I shoot a target I select a single bin, let's say 8.5-8.6 gr, zero my scope with it, and have at it. When that bin is gone I'll use another one until it's time to sort another batch.
BTW, you are right that pellet sorting can be bad for your health. I now wear a football helmet to do it, in case I suddenly fall asleep fall off the stool and hit my head on the bench. ;D
-
Lol
When weighing JSB 18.13's I do 18.06-down, 18.08-18.18, 18.20- 18.48 & 18.50 up. When I go back and check, some are in the wrong bin.
Could be u got a goodun and I got a badun?
What ever the case, you are already shooting too dang good!!!!
-
OH KNOW, Tommy .... :o The Squatch has revealed his secret behind his excellent shooting skills. NOW HE HAS TO KILL US! :o
Of course, this secret is merely one small attribute in the plethora of skills that make up the expertise of airgunning marksmanship, that is not shared by any of us non-hybrid human beings. I feel his big hairy head inflating, as he reads this. ;D
Pappy
-
The team of lawyers that I sent to discuss the super DUPER ruling never returned??
-
The Squatch said they tasted like chicken.
-
I'd of thunk they'd have more of a bull flavor?
Anyway all my super duper devices are in the trash can! He's prolly ill enough to shoot 210/200 already.
-
The Squatch said they tasted like chicken.
You guys are TOO FUNNY! ;D
FYI, I'm vegetarian. However, my younger, better looking, smarter, and more musically talented second cousin told me that lawyers indeed taste like chicken but with a strong (wouldn't you know it) slimy aftertaste. ;D
-

Pappy
Found some!!
-
At must be the younger better lookin brother!
-
I'll bet he is shooting for Squatch!
-
Ats what I been thinking for quite some time now Pappy but being the trusting, kind, loveable, hugable person I am, I wasn't gona mention it.
-
I'll bet he is shooting for Squatch!
Nah, he is on another forum where they have a competition in target throwing 100 lbs. rocks. Doing quite well there too. He says that spit-balling tiny pellets at a piece of paper is for sissies. ;D
-
I'll have to accept the wimpy accusation, I'm putting a chain link fence around my empire and at 8:30 this morning I was damp with sweat all over and thru for the day.!!
But I ain't changeing my name to Planette B

He is right, this is a whimpy hobby, but I find it rather enjoyable.

Me too Pappy, wimpy at 70 ain't too bad to me. A broke shoulder, ribbs and a punctured lung from a motorbike wreck seemed to put the iceing on my wimpy cake!!
-
Tommy, you shoot really well ...... for a 70 year old, decrepit, broken down old f.a.r.t. .... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I took my 36 year old son-in-law Jim, to the KY fun shoot. He said there sure were a lot of "old guys" there. ;D ;D ;D
Guess this just might be a good old guy hobby?
63 year old f.a.r.t. Pappy
-
I'm gona play like that wuz a compliment!!
-
OK they may have to rename this Match to The Old F.A.R.T. Match
66 here
Nice to see I am not the only old guy shooting this match
Norm

At 64 I guess that makes me a member of the Old F.A.R.T. club. :o I'm sure enjoying this hobby.

Old age and treachery, shall overcome youth and skill! :P
