Agf Br20 - 2022

I managed to get in Mays entry while it was relatively calm yesterday, it was a bit more lively for the springer section, and as some of you may know I'd just bought a new springer, so this was an "out of the box" with a couple of hundred shots down it effort, pellets from the tin and nothing in the way of having found the right pellet for it - so a proper newbie effort The PCP is also new to me and the same as the above, I just struggled for time this month to get organised, but the results were promising, it makes me look forward to what I can do with it once I've had some practise and found it's favourite pellets on a calm day

I've used Keith's "halo" method for Xs as there are several where the back is hit, but still shows, as usual, fine for any of the scorers amendments

HW97 in .177 at 20m 226 and 0 Xs

Red Wolf in .177 at 20m 250 and 12 Xs

 

Well, it's getting hard fitting 3 guns in now. Also marked the RW as gun 1 as even I'm getting confused now. ‍♂️

Tx back from the gun doctor. Spring hasn't settled yet and has taken a while but PB with the springer I think. Didn't think weighing would make any difference with a springer but really pleased with that effort.

20 - clips the bulls. attached is a close up (Censored myself with this one... almost ruined a great run!). the bulls is folded in so hopefully the pic will capture this. rest are quite clear IMHO.

 

I think your being harsh on yourself here, it has been said a few times when they are marked there needs to be a "halo" around the pellet for it to be an X, in most instances you can still see the black of the bull, but it's bent inwards, meaning it has been fully hit. The centre ring is 8mm, and the bull is 2mm, with a .177 being just 4.5mm in diameter, that means that if you have at least a 1.5mm gap between the pellet strike and the closest part of the 9 ring, then it has to be an X

 

20m open recoiless pcp, red wolf (pcp 2) incoming. Bit of a breeze, the RS's were a bit wobbly but short of heavies at the moment, good enough

 

Spring entry for May. Persisting with the hw30 while my tx is at the doctors. Was only meant to be short term but im quite enjoying the test!

 

Didn't mean to leave it to the last minute- but a quick dash up to Crackshot to use their 20m range this morning got the job done! Not sure if there's any X's there- perhaps someone can take a look for me?
Otherwise very enjoyable, look forwards to next month!

 

Good effort on the "backward 9". Unfortunately i dont see any Xs on this one (although im not the referee!!)

 

Thanks for that- the 'backward 9' just seemed to fall into place- roll on next month

 

Mays targets just in time, sorry for the raggy holes as these have been in my target bag since last week making them kind of flat.

 

3 days to submit May cards folks!

Supposed to be some nice weather due over the Bank Holiday weekend!

 

I am currently looking at options for the 23 season.

A few have saked abiut having a single A4 sheet for shooting at.

There are a few options so far, and Dave at AirTargets is trying to design something that works for us too.

We can fit 25 targets onto an A4 sheet, but it is tight! But workable.

Also I don't think that a single A4 sheet would work (for most of us) at 50m. However I can be talked around on that!

To be honest I need a 4" target for springer at 20m!

3 options so far, current, Airrufle.co.za amd Airtargets.

The AirTargets would be purchased by members direct but come on card and are decent quality. The other 2 need printing by members.

Table showing diameters etc. All very similar.

I will be doing a vote later on, as I say Dave is trying to develop his targets to our needs. He had added on some sighters already.






I think that the options would include a printed a3 version, or maybe even going down to 22 counting shots with 3 sighters?

I am, as always, open to suggestions.

If we can decide sooner rather than later there could be the option of using new cards before the end of the year (maybe!)

Cheers all!

Keith

 

I think i prefer the red ones out of the lot but intersted to see what airtargets come up with

 

I thunk the ARZA cards look OK.

 

Here is the target so far from Dave.:



I think this looks pretty damned good!

 

This looks very good indeed. My only slight criticism (and i apologise for pointing it out as i realise its only a draft) is "score" and "calibre" should be the other way round.

 

I will pass that on!

 

ARZA or the last one by Dave you posted both look decent, but can we print Daves at home? Part of the inclusiveness of this is that it's easily accessible by most people, I can see having to buy targets or running out of them being a bit of a pain for some people?

 

Dave has very generously said that he will provide us with the PDF of the target so we can print at home or order from Airtargets is we so wish.
Top bloke!

 

That’s very good indeed

 

Any chance you could insert each score ( I appreciate you haven't done so this time because you have scored 250) and which you feel are X's please?
Apologies if you have done so but the image quality is so faint on my PC I can't see any scores apart from the totals.
Thanks
Jim
