......scores here please. Some excellent shooting last week.....some in the mid-80's and high 70's. Lets improve on that this week. Shoot Often Shoot Safe

I plan to be out in the feild this weekend shooting, not in my basement! So, need to get a few of these done. 2 last night (one on another forum) and 2 tonight...

Stuck with the Beeman theme :-) and  pulled out my P3. Nobody wanted to buy it so....
Definitely need to use the better pellets or a clean backer from now on. My score was a bit of a guess tonight. This gun just doesn't have the power to cut clean holes with these pellets.

Beeman HP's .177

Well... I messed that up... Here is the target...

Pretty good shooting.  If you did not have that flyer in the 3 ring you would be upper 80s.

[JQR]

Thanks. That was the first shot! I totally forgot how light that trigger is.

2nd match (First one was a rifle match) of the day. After shooting 20 shots to get back the feel of pistol shooting and the Crosman 1377 I did this match....which I'm very happy with; 8 out of 10 shots were in the "black".

Pistol: Crosman 1377, Sights: Iron sights, Pellet: .177 Crosman WadCutter, Position: Stand/One Hand,

Powerplant: Multi-pumper, Distance: 10 Meters, Temp: +24C, Sun, No wind, SCORE: 74/100

ALWAYS shoot a practice target FIRST.  Even if only 5 shots.
That way you also find and can fix any "issues" before you shoot for record.
If I switch from my Hurricane to my match pistol, the grip, trigger and shooting behavior are so different that I would totally mess up the match pistol shooting w/o a practice target to readjust my shooting.

Beeman P-17 w/BSA Red Dot
RWS .177 R-10 Match Wadcutters
10 meter  2H/ Standing
Score:  88*/100

Put the Red Dot on this week and used two hands.  I guess my medications don't work as good in this heat (98 - 101).  The RD helps my vision problem, but I'm not able to hold it with one hand anymore.  So please record my scores in the * asteric * section.  :)

Hey, if we ever have a 10m Pistol Benchrest match, sign me up!

Stan, Did you try loading a pellet then pumping the 1377 this week?

[CaptGeorge]

Ron,

I FEEL your PAIN.  It's been 100F+ here in Houston all week. Then when it cools off to .... say 95F in the evening just before dark ... the skeeters are out in swarms. I don't know what's worse: sweat or skeeters in eyes. I may not even shoot this week unless I catch a break before Sunday night.  I REALLY envy all the guys with INDOOR 10M ranges!

Hey George,

I did try it....right in the middle of the match. I normally pump it first and then cock and load. The last 4 shots I did the reverse and the results were the same for me. So I'm guessing yourpistol mighthave a little leak.....maybe some dust got in-between the seal.

[ronbeaux]

Yep. Its 95 right now at 1920.

[gamo2hammerli]

I feel for you guys.....I can't stand those kinds of heat......and the bugs are worst!!!!

First time in 4 days that I've not shot a "bb" gun. Yesterday was alot warmer....80F but had threatening clouds....and actually only sprinkled for 5 minutes in the early afternoon. I shot real early to avoid the heat and be ahead of the rain, and I should've went to hook up with some airgun buddies to shoot later in the day.....but I didn't want to drive 12 miles and get rained out. I missed my chance.

Today (Sat.) was just too iffy.....cooler though....abit of sun and moving clouds with slight sprinkles all day. The sprinkles would last a few minutes but the sky would not clear up.....more than a few times I wanted to load up my car and go shoot....but didn't do it.

Two more matches for me this week....I'll see if I can do them tomorrow....the 5 Meter Pistol is no problem.....I can do that in the basement. The 10 Meter Multi Pump Rifle I can do that in the backyard. If the weather is abit more stable....I'll hook up with those guys and do some long distance plinking....30 to 40meter distances........
