Unofficial May 2025 shoot (50 foot)

[TorqueMaster]

Seems pretty dead here, maybe this will inspire others to post their casual results on a "whenever" timeframe.

Sunday (May the 4th be with you) was pretty calm here, so some casual bench shooting was in order.
Did a couple rounds with my Crosman 3622 3677 and one with the 22 Notos.  Posting the Notos target.

TorqueMaster
PCP
Notos
Bugbuster 3-9x (9x)
JSB 16 grain
Bench/seated/front sandbag
187/200 1x
Light wind gusting to 5mph.  Used Pyramid Air transparent scoring card to determine circular .177" and .22" hole locations.

The 3677 scored 167 1x with H&N FTT and 160 1x with JSB 8.44.  I think it could do somewhat better with a better scope (now fitted with superlightweight-elcheapo Tasco 3-7x20)

Notos target:

Good shootn' Bob.

 Hmm I need to mark off 50' somewhere

Just shy of 50 feet is what I got in the basement range!  I am in!  Thanks for doing this!

[TorqueMaster]

Thanks Ron!

Heck yeah, shoot 'em and post 'em!  I like to see real world results, not just reports of "pellet stacking" and "laser accuracy" or claims based on a single 5-shot group.     

Just under 50 feet, no problem, it's casual, just report your actual distance (or thereabouts.)

I forgot how nerve wracking shooting at paper can be -- sometimes you have to walk away for a few minutes  -- relax, breathe -- ok back at it.  It's supposed to be fun, gotta remember that.

A target can take a while or wear me out a bit!

Hi Bob,

Are you going to turn this into matches?  My Dad and I would gladly participate if you do.  We'll post a few targets next weekend here if that works out.

Thanks,
Eric

Eric,
I was simply encouraging others to post their results on an "as shot" basis, rather than wait for an official casual shoot timeframe.  If a "deadline" promotes participation, call it May 31.  After that, whoever posts next starts a June thread?  Or whatever month is appropriate...  Fire away!

[Back_Roads]

 OK targets printed, will save one to make copies at work and hang out by the copy machine. I'm getting there

[splitbeing]

Me too, James.  I printed out a bunch of .177 and a few .22 and put them bymy stacks of 50 ft NRA targets.

 Windy and rainy here, I may have to measure out 50' indoors at the Orchard

Dad and I shot last Thursday evening.  I couldn't get it dialed in, but Dad sure did.

Nice shootin', fellas.

[Kerfwappie]

Thank you!

He says with a 197/200 6x. 

Holy cow you guys BOTH shot the lights out!  Nice shooting!

We tried to shoot last weekend on Sunday, but it was futile.  The wind was throwing us all over the place.  My Dad's range is outside.  So we tried again at my range, inside the barn.  The best we could do, shooting RWS R10 Match pellets was 196/200 5X's for both of us.  I hope you all got a chance to shoot last week.
