Title: First time under 1"
Post by: rsterne on June 02, 2018, 12:58:32 AM

I shot my first sub MOA group at 100 yards today.... with a modded QB78 no less....  :o

I was going to resight and go for my Master's but the wind came up and the Varmints were whistling to me....  ::) .... a dozen or so won't be whistling any more....  ;)

Nice shooting Bob, dang Ma nature. I wish she would calm down so we can get some target shooting done.
Great back up plan and taking out some Varmints.

First time using a BiPod and rear bag, instead of my higher front rest.... I think the BiPod is better, it's quite low....

18.1 gr. JSB Heavies at 934 fps average (unregulated).... 1800 psi fill, 1350 psi refill, about 23 shots per fill within a 4% ES.... Two 88 gr. CO2 cylinders for the reservoir.... For 100 yard work I fill to 1700, refill at 1500, 2% ES or less for 10 shots....

Wait a minute! You mean we don't need to hit the center area to score for levels?
 :o
DANG! You know how many targets I rejected cause they were off to one side.

For Master you need a sub 1" group, and all pellets have to be inside or touching the 2" diameter 10-ring.... It's all in the rules.... That is why the target above is no good for Master....

Great shooting Bob!!!

An under 1" group @ 100yds is definitely something to be proud of!!!

Under 1" is something I still have never been able to accomplish. I have shot lots of groups about 1.25" and my best ever was 1.060" but never have been able to break the 1" barrier.

Congratulations great job!!!
