Yes Mark, practice all you want. Here's the thread over at AGN: http://www.airgunnation.com/topic/airgun-depots-long-rangers/

They give until the end of August. There are some that are going for 150 with break barrel but we'll see how well that pans out. But you do have to use an Airgun Depot provided ball for the actual video to qualify and get your vid posted on their site and be entered into the drawing. Already there are some "bending" the rules. So long as AGD weeds out the fakes vs legitimate vids then it's all good. You don't have to be a member of AGN as this is set up by AGD and anyone can submit a vid so long as they meet the posted criteria.

TPL, I have no doubt you can do it. It may take a few more shots but a golf ball isn't THAT much smaller and if you're hitting cans, then you can easily hit a golf ball. Just how many shots? It doesn't matter, so long as you hit it and get it on video.

They have yet to post my vid to their wall but it is the weekend. They did comment on my vid on youtube so they know it exists.

Looks like I won't be able to go past 222 yards as I'll run out of mildots. Here is where I ended up with Strelok Pro when I took my 202 yard shot. Notice above that the elevation turret is maxed out at 13 mils or 130 clicks and I still had to use 5 1/2 mildot holdover and an holdover for wind. This is with built in 20moa rail in my Taipan Veteran. I could guesstimate holdover just a bit but doubt I'll get out to 230 yards without new adjustable rings. I think I'll be taking a seat on this one. 202 is good enough for me.

I had to fudge with my ballistic co-efficient out that far in strelok to get this to be accurate to the shot I took. The parameters I fed Strelok at first had me way off at 200 yards. I'm glad I did this challenge though as it's given me data to feed into Strelok Pro to be more accurate at all ranges. Wind was higher than what my pic below shows as I had turned my windage turrets some and then accounted for wind on the fly with holdover beside the windage clicks. I estimate the wind to have been at 6-7 mph when I took the shot. Wind came in about the 10 o'clock position.

I think I know another reason I couldn’t hit jack squat with my 25.39 JSB’s. They’re flying at 927fps. But I recall hearing them make like a oscillating “whrrrr’ing” type of sound which I would imagine would be synonymous with pellet spiraling. Anyone have any experience in this?

Bizill · « **Reply #24 on:** August 12, 2017, 05:59:44 PM »

Never satisfied I had to go back out today and hit a bit longer. I'll be making a video of it hopefully tonight. I did already get m yard patch and sticker.

Congrats again!!!

Can't wait to see that 250 shot. My golf balls were delivered today (I think) and as soon as I can make it back home, hopefully before the end of the month, I will be giving it a go.

Then at some point I've gotta do the NUAH challenge here on GTA. That should prove to be far easier than this video recording mess.

Today's 250 yards...

Bizill · « **Reply #27 on:** August 13, 2017, 02:28:52 AM »

250 yards today. I drove 35 miles and 3/4 of the way to my shooting spot I realized I forgot my AGD golf ball. Drove all the way home, got back out to the desert and realized I had forgotten my Caldwell Fieldpod Magnum so I had to shoot of my bipod.

TPL · « **Reply #28 on:** August 13, 2017, 10:15:40 AM »

Congrats Bill. It is very hard to go any longer than that with pellet gun.

MJP · « **Reply #29 on:** August 15, 2017, 01:08:15 AM »

Thats really nice with a pellet gun for sure, congrats!
And nice that you actually told and showed how many shots it took.

Marko

I still have a few more yards I guess I could squeeze out of it but not much. I do notice that airgun depot isn't so quick anymore to update their leaderboard. You've gotta understand, they don't sell Taipan but do sell FX so I think they might just be a bit reluctant to place me in the lead. Oh well. I'm sure they will. I guess.

Bizill · « **Reply #31 on:** August 15, 2017, 04:52:03 PM »

They updated. I think this will climb to 300 yards before this ends...

WesBob · « **Reply #32 on:** August 17, 2017, 01:08:11 AM »

Congrats! That's amazing shooting!

Great shooting Bizill!

Anyone nearby got some extra AGD golf balls? I've got them ordered from AGD, but they won't get here until the 30th.

I'm in the upstate of SC.

Screw you! Haha. You got 350 yards. I called it out on AGN that someone would trump everyone coming in with a big bore and shooting out to 350 yards...and that's what you did. LOL.

I've got 3 extra but I'm in AZ. They will become relics as I don't want to waste time going out any further than 250 yards with my setup. If I bought adjustable rings then I'd be back in the game but I'm not into spending money on something that'll be one-time use. I could get 3 family members and have them shoot the balls and tilt the odds in my favor to win the drawing but I don't roll that way. I think it's pretty shady to do that and most have.

328 yards. .308 Corsair. FPS something like 1000, maybe little less. As you well understand I cannot promise anything to see but I can try. Depends a lot on weather. We have been shooting 12 oz. cans out of 300 regularly but this is much smaller target.

I just nailed a 350 yard shot in the AGD Long Ranger Challenge. I can't post the link to the video since I am too new to this forum. A couple more posts and I will be able to start sharing links. Until then - here is the screenshot...

It's your fault man! You're the one who threw down the challenge!

Wanna see me try 400?
