With TX200 #3 and the power adjusted to 12fpe thanks to a gift of a VORTEK kit from the Motörhead…
We can shoot air rifle distances (10, 12.5, 15 & 18 yards) with rifles with no more than 12fpe.
If I do well, I may try the longer distances with the 16.5 TX200 #2.
It is only a 40 shot match so the 10.75 pounds of the rifle should not bother me too much and I might shoot both relays for 80 shots, offhand, of course.
I checked the required holdover for the 8.64gr H&N FTT pellets with the scope set at 4X then I shot another sheet to post here.
Off of the bench with a front rest…3 shot groups..

Well done, Steve!

I shoot NRA Silhouette year-round here in Houston.
Standard air rifle distances are 20, 30, 36, and 45 yards. 10-18 yards might be air pistol distances?
My TX200 has a Donnie Harvey spring pushing the 10.34 pellets about 820 fps, so about 15.5 ft/lbs. The scope only needs 2 to 2.5 MOA between Chickens and Rams.
Hope you enjoyed your match. Silhouette is a great game!

Yes, 10, 12.5, 15 and 18 are air pistol distances.
We shoot informally at Diablo and allow 12fpe rifles at the pistol ranges.
Too, the club allows shooters to shoot off of the bench if they desire.
It is about participation not…pins or medals.

Nice shooting Frank! ;)
