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!!

Oh sure just rub it in........

Great shot! And I am willing to bet that the little guy will remember that for quite some time.

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.

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

No Don!!! Just do what Uncle Paulie did.....shift your butt when I'm shooting!!!

palonej · « **Reply #16 on:** May 07, 2014, 01:31:10 PM »

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.

Scrambler82 · « **Reply #18 on:** May 07, 2014, 02:11:13 PM »

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 !
