This is the card I shot this morning for the 100 yard match. Used a Benjamin Cayden .22 and JSB 18gr pellets. Using an SWFA SS 10X42mm optic, zero'd at 50 yards.
Shots were taken from my deck to out back into the woods. Didn't get range photos this morning, but took some this evening. Distance is 105 yards via range finder, currently have a practice target up (I stuck it back on the post after shooting the official target...)

Here's the Benjamin Cayden with a Donnyfl Shogun, my foam rest and homemade bag at my shooting position on the deck. Currently have to shoot under the dog line to reach out to 100 yards.. ::)

Great shooting! Mine is showing a lot of promise at 50 yards. I've got to cut some brush back before I can take it to 100 but I'm hoping to get it done this week.

Thank you.
I honestly was getting 'pretty good' accuracy with the gun out of the box before ever cleaning the barrel. Once I gave the barrel a quick cleaning and got a few rounds down range this gun went from pretty good to 'darn' accurate from 25 to 80 yards. I had taken some 100 yard shots on paper and steel previously, both showed a lot of promise. Had to try 100y once more with this gun...
Hopefully you can clear that brush and the weather plays nice for you. I think you'll be happy with the performance from your Cayden ;D

I'm already really happy with it. It's not pellet picky at all and it likes slugs too.

That's great. I've only shot the JSB's so far, but eventually I'll try out some other pellets and maybe slugs. I'm hoping to get lucky and find a hollow point that shoots to the same POI as the JSB 18's... But that rarely happens, Lol.

Mine shoots Baracuda Hunters into one hole at 25 yards.

Very nice shooting! That "stray" in the bullseye makes you think one ragged hole is not out of reach, hope you can get there if you choose to keep after it!

Lol, that stray was the only one to make it to the POA. I had shot one card prior, holding off for a very light breeze, but realized I would have been better off holding on centre. On this card I did, but would have been better to hold for the breeze... I usually shoot one or two cards per outing after a few practice shots. Still waiting on the perfect day when the air is absolutely still, but being close to the lake those days seem few and far between. I'm fairly sure I got lucky on this card, but the Cayden has been a lucky gun for me so far. On average I don't think pellets in .22cal can do too much better, but we'll see what happens ;D
