I used the sharpy to color the edge black then set up styro foam behind it to try to make it stand out. The used toothe pics to hold it up. Just put the verticle crosshares on it and couldent see it anymore then pulled the trigger.

You shot yours off hand, thats awesome. I was using my weight lifting bench to sit on. All my shot are with a 177 Gamo Hunter np. It's a sweet gun.

After shooting ends of sticks of chalk with the Talon SS in .177 cal, I pinned a gas card to the target holder at 15 yards.

Shot 7 was the first hit, but did not split the card. Three more shots the card was hit again, but still no split. The third hit split the card into. I sure would like to say that the third hit only took one more shot, but after about 10 shots, I lost count. My guess would have to be about 17 shots, because I started out with 30 pellets. The last couple shots were taking at a 100 yard can.

Next up will be the S400 in .22 cal. When weather and time permits.

That looks like a plastic card, try one made out of cardboard. They'll cut easily without shattering.
If some is good and more is better - then too much is just right.
