I’m not a break barrel shooter but I can imagine how difficult it must be to achieve that kind of accuracy with one.
Excellent job in my opinion!

Thanks
But my jaw is sore from having to hold my mouth just right..😇

Deeco,
congrats to you, that's very cool! Excellent shooting!
A couple of years ago I started trying the NUAH thing with a springer, and it looked promising (but, oh, so hard!).
Then my opportunities for 100 yards dimished for a while....
When they finally opened up again I had tried eaten some of the cookies from the Dark Side.
Soooo, when I had guests I let them shoot the PCP's and I went back to the springer, thinking I'd be able to hit the cans at 70y.
Well, yeah, think again, you moron!! ::)
➔ I couldn't even get used to the chug-chug movement/noise I was now feeling with that BOTB springer (BOTB = Botttom of the barrel springer). ➔ Let alone hit anything with any type of consistency.
(It'll go on sale as soon as I make the time to write the add....)
😊 So, Deeco, you've done well! 👍🏼

Thanks..
I guess its good for ramdom Stright out of the tin walmart crosmans..😉

Excellent! 8)
I was wondering when you'd come on over and put up a target Deeco... ;D
That's a better target than I shot for my submission, now we'll have to duel for an upgraded one ;) ;)

I hate to be a party pooper, but....
7. Only clean targets will be accepted, no additional holes, covered or not.
It's great to see people trying out for NUAH.... Keep trying, you'll make it !!!!

Aint no holes covered.
But i guess putting the pellet tin in the pic is what you mean? Dod that to keep wind bloeing paper away wile i took pic.
That's ok i know..
-
I think Bob was referring to the pellet hole right below the tin lid at the edge of the shadow ::)
-
Not that im able to do the rules due to circumstances. But i try to do what i can toward them
To qualify as a member, you must hit a target that is the equivalent of 4 MOA, at the range you are shooting, 3 times out of 5 shots.
It made that, right?
So i just came in from another 100 try . Same stuff as above.
Shot about 20 min ago..
-
You'll need to add another pic with a ruler across the 4 MOA ring, and you should have it... ;)

I thought about that but pretty easy to see the same as above..
The figured it be covering holes or some mthing
...lol
Ok.. i interrupted my coffee sipping ..Lol, again.
Ill also add the range showing the 20,30 ,40,45,50,75,100 yard racks to the best of my cameras ability
-
I do not believe that Bob was trying to insinuate that you had covered up any holes-he was merely pointing out the sixth hole up by the pellet tins...
Can't have any more than 5 shots on a card, for any reason. Didn't click on the pic to enlarge it at first; so I hadn't seen it until it was pointed out.
Also hate to say it, but it looks like your 4 MOA ring is a bit large... Be easier to tell if the tape was laid across the ring, instead of up above...
Jesse

That's awesome shooting. it's better than most guys can do with a $1500 PCP and definitely MOS (minute of squirrel)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go print out the actual target and there'll be no questions as to qualifying, clearly you CAN.
-
Ok, forget it.. i see matter there's no satisfying you here.
removed for offensive content and trolling.
Ok you buy me one and supplies. I will
See the forum rules.
Try to do it honestly as i van ang get a chain jerking..
Thanks..

It was PRAISE.

Whoa now!!!
Bob pointed out a reality within the rules, I only pointed out a small problem that does not necessarily disqualify the target (not my call-though IMO with the group being as small as it is it really shouldn't matter)... And Johnny just pointed out the obvious-that a regulation card would just save any issues; he wasn't dissing your targets in the slightest!
I might also point out that Kevin is the guy who ultimately rules on targets? Other than your first one (which had six holes) you have not been 'turned down'...
Once again-awesome group! You're not just turning out sub-4 MOA groups, but you've shown that you can do it consistently-that shows it is skill and not luck-I'd like to be able to do as well...
The rules are there to keep it fair, not to pick on you...
Chill out man

In all fairness Deeco,
By your own admission, You had a "flyer" in you first entry (Hole below the tin lid) and the target shows 6 shots.
Pellet of your choice is no excuse.
....
One flier but hay, it's Walmart crosmans pellets.

Then your claimed 4" circle seems to be like 4 1/2".. maybe it is the camera angle... but it is questionable.
(https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=192775.0;attach=378174;image)
That is why I suggested printing the official targets supplied in the "RULES".
It would eliminate ANY question in your abilities. No one else had any problem obeying them for their admission.
I believe there may be some difficulty in doing that, so if you would like, PM me your address and I will send you some official targets printed on card stock.
YOU GOT THIS BROTHER!!!

Deeco, you have SIX holes in the first target you submitted, and the rules state 3 out of 5, with no additional holes, covered or NOT.... It's pretty clear, and it's also clear you don't like to be called out when you don't follow the rules....
This has NOTHING to do with "satisfying us", it has everything to do with following the rules.... Here is another rule you should read....
6. Required printable targets are attached below! Other targets MAY be considered that are clearly marked with a 4 MOA circle centered at the point of aim. All targets will have a ruler laid across them with one end on one side of the 4 MOA ring. This way we will eliminate any question to the size of the 4 MOA ring.
Your tape measure is not laid ACROSS the target, so it is virtually impossible to tell exactly the diameter of your circle on the target.... You can avoid this by printing the official target, but if you don't have access to a printer, you MAY have another target allowed, provided you follow the rules.... Pretty simple....
I strongly suggest you leave your attitude at the door, follow the rules like everybody else, and enjoy shooting with us....

These aren't going to be approved, so let it go. I don't want to have to clean this up any more than I have.
"Don't feed the trolls."
Thanks
Kevin
-
It's pretty simple... the rules for this challenge are clearly stated at the top of the gate.
Rule #6 states in bold letters that the Required Targets are printed below.
Just like the rules of this entire forum, they are there for a reason.
-
It would be much simpler if we just stated that the official NUAH target must be used.... However, I don't see anything wrong with using "splatter" targets of the correct size, or hand drawn targets, again of the correct size.... Requiring one specific target because of a single argument would be an unnecessary knee-jerk reaction, IMO.... The rules are clear, and it is important that everyone follow them....
Bob
-
I would caution people using “hand drawn” targets to have the center clearly marked and in the center, as well as having a clearly marked circular ring. Marking them in the center of the paper is good also. Finally with the scrutiny these targets are under, it’s really going to be simpler to use a “standard/required” target.

Bob,
I really appreciate your viewpoint.
And I really want to get into long ranges target shooting in earnest!
It's been just difficult with the pandemic here in Peru, lots of extreme restrictions, no ammo arriving in the country, car broke, twice for months on end, and now my airsupply went the way of all mortals.... 🤷🏻♂️
So, yeah, I'd love to use targets that I can automatically score using an app called TargetScan*. It scores a paper target with just one photo AUTOMATICALLY: Points, X, group extreme spread, and group mean radius(!).
As long as I use one of the over 150 official target cards from all over the world.
*Link: https://targetshootingapp.com/
Anyhow, just to chime in, yes, this is important to me. 😊
Thanks, Bob, for seeing a possible knee-jerk reaction on the horizon. (I sure have been guilty of doing that in my own context....).

Just remember that NUAH is based not only on group size, but accuracy.... Part of the challenge is to stay within a given radius from the POINT OF AIM.... That is why Kevin mentioned that for other than official NUAH targets, the center (POA) of the 4 MOA circle must be marked.... Shooting a group and then drawing the circle afterwards is not allowed.... The difficulty increases as you progress from Member, through Marksman, Sharpshooter and Expert to Master, which requires a 1 MOA group with all 5 shots within 1 MOA of the POA (2 MOA circle)....
Bob
-
I think it's great you guys came up with this! 👍🏼
And yes, group size only measures precision, but distance to the bulls measures accuracy — and as a hunter I surely want BOTH!! 😄

With 100yds available at the new diggs I'll be jumping in here in the near future.
Farthest I've shot so far with an airgun is 50 yds. This should be interesting.
