Hmmm, 200y?Matt and I walked my available range. We are already planning 200 yards.It's not a flat plain area so targets need put up in some trees.Like 8 foot or so up! That would put them in view. Roughly at ground level as viewed from our shooting position.

Quote from: splitbeing on April 14, 2023, 12:55:23 PMMy buddy and I made a 100 yd range setup on his property and have shot a couple times.The Akela .177 with NSA 12.5 slugs was grouping at 3 inches at 100 yds shooting prone, which I never do otherwise and so was unpracticed. That was my first time shooting it at 100 so with some practice, there is hope. A bench will help.I am tuning a .177 avenger wood to 950 fps with 16.1 gr Seneca pellets. These pellets were great out of the Akela out to 75 yds, but fell apart at 100. So odds are against this working. But hey, gonna try with the avenger at 32 fpe in .177 and see what happens, weather permitting, in a couple weeks when I'm at my buddy's for turkey season here in PA.Have you tried the 10.3 JSB Knockouts? They're shooting great for me at 100 yards running around 980.

Might one of these days, but something about the price ends up dissuading me even though buying the NSAs doesn't. Appreciate the suggestion. Mental note made!

When he has them in stock they are less than $13 for 500.
Start shooting at a 100 yards lol!. Not sure what gun to use though.
On a side note, I found myself running into possible optic related issues around 150 yards or so, loopy trajectories and whatnot... Which got me thinking of doing a Quigley-ish type of airgun setup for fun. Just the beginnings of a thought, but hopefully more to come...

It's on the list Jeff. Reshaped the stock last year and it feels much more comfortable to shoot now. I currently have it sighted in at 50 yards.

I currently have it sighted in at 50 yards.Cool!Did some distance measuring and it looks like I can get around 160 yards on my range after some brush removal and tree branch removal.Due to the slopes and the area here we'll have to mount the targets about 8 foot up just to be able to see them from our shooting position.
