Title: NUAH submission
Post by: Froggy. on May 20, 2017, 01:36:59 PM

Not sure if this qualifies.
Not by best days shooting.... Just couldn't string 5 proper shots together without a flyer!
103 yards lasered, sitting on a cooler box using the camera tripod for support.
.22 sumatra carbine... 15.89gr jsb's at 920fps. Scope... Hawke SF 6-24x44 Varmint set to 12x.

Thanks Marty, this long range shooting is pretty addictive.
I'll be trying my hardest to reach expert on my next outing.
From now on I'll take some targets along every time I go out to do some PC.

Excellent shooting off sticks with 16 grain domed pellets Ryan. Sumatra sells accurate and powerful guns. From my experience the more stable the table/bench the tighter the groups you can shoot. I have shot great groups off a portable bench I made off plans from GTA.

My cost was under $45. Built mine over two years ago and it has held up to a lot of use/abuse.

Plans for the portable bench.

I used legs like the ones in the link below that were on sale at Home Depot for $25 a pair. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005A1KE/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005A1KE/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
