My nephew and I were shooting today and as usual we were giggling like 11 year olds!!
He came up with an interesting, although nearly impossible, target.
We have 4" PVC caps filled with duct seal hanging from a few trees that we usually put target cards on. He took a C02 capsule and buried the rear in 2" of duct seal. The front is the target.....at 55 yards!!! Absolutely tiny target!! Had NO illusions of ever hitting it!!
I did!! We were hysterical!!
It never came out of the PVC cap and exhausted in under a second!! The cap, which weighs 2 lbs, was swinging on its hook!! Too funny!
Here's a pic of the cap and the tip of the capsule.
We only attempted this insanity at a safe distance and we were the only ones around for miles.
I did it with my 97 benched. I could not believe I hit that thing!! What an amazing rifle this is!!
-
I agree. That was an amazing shot!!!!
-
Absolutely you are a awesome shooter. In fact you inspire if not others you inspire me.
-
Thanks guys!!
Almost wet my pants when that thing exhausted!! Sounded like a rocket!!
-
Oh sure just rub it in........ :P
Great shot! And I am willing to bet that the little guy will remember that for quite some time.
-
Crazy shot man! Next time, run some video. That'd be worth some youtube hits for sure ;D ;D ;D
-
WOW!!! I got nothin else to say, just WOW!!!!!!
-
Great shot man.
-
Unreal😳 and mind boggling! Outstanding young man.

I will pat you on the back too... Great shot !
-
Kinda bums me out actually. I was very excited about hitting a beer can with my FD-PCP .22 @70yds yesterday until I saw this. Thanks pal.
-
I was just wondering what the heck that noise was.............
Apparently, it was the bar being raised!! ;D

;D ;D Joe you never cease to amaze. Now I will definitely bring a couple of inflatables the .177 S510 , Rainstorm .22, and the M-rod Synthetic .25 and the TX .22 Pro Sport .177 and Diana 460 .177 springers to the next south Jersey gathering. That way I will be able to stand,sit next to you and maybe not embarrass myself ;D ;D ;D ;D

No Don!!! Just do what Uncle Paulie did.....shift your butt when I'm shooting!!!
I'm going to insist on my own bench at the next get together!!!
-
but what i want to know is..............whats the story behind that jellybean? LOL
hahahahaha great shot joe!
-
I just knew someone would bring that up!!!
And for your info...it's a peanut M&M! I stick em in the duct seal, blast em and lay in wait for the bugs!!!
-
Congratulations on a great shot.
-
I was thinking it was an M&M and I was thinking you were using it as the target.
So you pick flys off of M&M at 75 yds too ! He's a shooting MASTER !
-
Wow what a great shot!! Takes a good rifle and a great shooter!!
-
Did you say fly Grev??
He he he!!! This one met his maker at 30 yards!! Bad move landing on a target sheet!!
OUCH!!
-
Wow Joe, great shot. I'm just happy if I can hit a beer can on the letters, LOL.
-
;D ;D Our friend Joe AKA pool shark doesn't miss to many of the targets he shoots at but we can hope we are not competing against him in any kind of tournament, he already filled one gun cabinet from his winnings
-
Great shot Joe!! I bet you can't hit AND light a match though......oh....wait.....
-
Hmmmmmmmm........oh yeah......that match!!!
-
The guy has a big enough head/ego why do you just keep pumping it up. ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
George!! If it gets just a touch bigger it'll explode!!!
-
:o ;) ;D ;D ;D Not me I have been trying for months to find a way to let some air out of that balloon before it bursts. I thought I was a great shot but now I consider myself just Ok. ::) ::) ;D
-
Congrats on a great shot!
I am totally underwhelmed at my meager skills compared to yours!

Believe me Walter that most of the credit for these shots has to go to the Motörhead!! He has my rifles set up so well that anyone can shoot them and look good!!
Friends come over that have never shot in their lives and in a few minutes are hitting what they aim at!! He set up the triggers on all of them and they are stupid smooth and predictable!! He gave each the full Magical Motörhead tune!!
He took real good guns and made them great shooters!!
After work today my nephew and I were plinking around and he put another capsule out at 55 yards and told me it wasn't luck and I could do it again....doubtful.
Took around 10 shots at it with the TX and nothing happened.
When we were done we checked the capsule and found this!! I hit it but it didn't blow. Darn close tho!!
Check out the dent in the left one!!
-
Ok palone :D ;) ;D check this out. I just want to keep you head in check. ;D ;D http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=67450.msg641984#msg641984 (http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=67450.msg641984#msg641984)

I have been following Joe's shooting exploits and I am some what of a fan of his talents. This what I picture him as a person when he shows his skills.

I'm a little more obvious than that Paul!!!! I usually dance a jig!!!
-
Great shot, Joe!
Now we'll be hearing about this one for the next 5 months ::)
It's a good thing, lighting the match is so passé ;D
No really, bro, great shot!! 8)
-
OH!! by the way my shot was not from bags. ;) just steadied against a tree. ;D ;D just wished I could do this good at field target :( I guess I just do better on the real thing. I was trying for the head shot even though this was the first time I shot at that distance. ;D
-
Light the bottom one first, a little spectacular.
Either way nod shooting.
A fly at 30 yds, did you entice it with candy, have some candy little fly...
Nice shooting AGAIN !
-
can you do that off hand? that would be impressive, i mean to hit a 3/4 ' target at 50 yards off hand…a couple times….yup
-
Not only an amazing shot Wow.. but great target idea Joe. I'm stopping at the hardware store tomorrow and getting some 4" pvc caps!
-
Great shooting Joe, looks like your going to run the course the upcoming FT match.

No words necessary!!
It's nice having friends like Niko who selflessly re worked my avatar for me!!
Thank you my friend!!!
-
Oh my!!
Joe....what happened?! ;D
-
I don't know Niko!!! After I made that shot.....twice....my head got kinda heavy!!
-

That's what I had to do on my bench!!! My neck hurts now!!
-
Put a little Masse' on that, did ya?
-
Geeeze, I'm still in the hitting the broadside of a barn stage and I'm standing inside the barn.
-
;D ;D ;D ;D LMBO great mod on the avatar Niko
-
That's awesome!!
I'm thinking if you run a zip line maybe 20' with a water balloon at the end. Run the zip line through a small pcv pipe the same length as a co2 cart and tape the co2 cart to the pcv tube. Puncture the co2 and send it along the zip line popping the balloon.
I really wish I had some land that I could shoot on as I don't think that would work so well in my basement.

Last summer up at my hunt camp we had 3 springer airguns and 7 guys so we were shooting a lot. We would put water bottle caps on a log maybe 50 feet and have contests between 2 shooters to see who could knock off the most. Hilarious watching guys rush shots loading, dropping pellets. Guys started getting pretty "dang" good so I stuck a toothpick in the log and didn't the guy get it first shot. Then I got smart and tied a half inch washer with a quarter inch hole on a string and swung it with about a 4 foot arc. It only took a few shots and guys were hitting it fairly consistently. I think I hit it 3 times in a row and when I missed I said it must have gone thru the hole in the washer lol.
Then we started knocking pine cones off a tree further out. It is amazing what fun you can have and the things we used for targets. Nothing but pure fun.
-
How true John.....but you left out 1 very important thing!!! After making these shots you get to come here and talk TONS of smack!!! This is not something I personally would do however!!!
-
Let me tell you Joe...when you have 7 guys up in the woods for a week having all sorts of shooting contests there is PLENTY of smack talk lol.
Nothing like setting up a rediculously small target only to have the guy knock it off first shot and pat himself on the back. This year I am bringing a box of matches to see if anyone can light one. One guy went home and immediately bought a gun. A couple guys made spinners and another bought a resettable knockdown target. I am going to make a shooting bench for up there and probably use the chainsaw to make a longer shooting range. The good thing is we are on a lake with nobody else around so we have plenty of room and no hassles.
-
Sounds like heaven John!!!
We have fun shoots a few times a year at another members house. Bout 6 or 7 of us get together and laugh till our stomachs hurt.....while shooting tons of lead and trying to hit stuff!!
We really look forward to these awesome days and I'm sure you are!!
-
Sounds awesome Joe. I just looked out window here at work when reading this and saw a bumblebee hovering...and of course I think...what a great target. Reminds me of the camp when the yellow jackets all over the fish carcasses after we cleaned them. Of course somebody dumped some on a log and we picked a few off over the afternoon.
