Long range with sub 12fpe

[darren m]

at our club range of 50 yards a chap named lou moore as reaptedly shot the edge of a playing card using a HW 45 .22 cal pistol open sites , now thats impressive

[pieter]

the picture of the target card is very encouraging
had to bring this back up as this is amazing for three reasons 1 its a first attempt i believe and its amazingly accurate at that, 2 OFF THE KNEE and 3 it was done with a sub 12ftlbs rifle .....


well if i could shoot this well all the time i would take up the sport seriously, very well done man and please up date when you have done some more shooting.

Thanks Pietre. I do take FT quite seriously I shoot most Grand prix,s and Winter leagues, I also shoot the European Championships and the World Championships when possible. I have made some special Long Range Target boards up at work, they are 600x400mm, some with 40mm squares and some with 1 inch squares. I am shooting a GP this weekend but will try to do more tests shortly then get some pics of my groups. Regards. Neil.

Don't put idea's in peoples heads Neil, our winter league courses are hard enough without this!
Nice shooting though mate, I'm gonna have to keep my eye on you this winter.

[sniper-wolf]

Yeah!! just imagine, a 40mm kill at 85yds. You would still hit it, revered bearded one.

PS: sorry about the loss of a friend. I know how it feels, losing 5 mates in 1 year due to motorcycle accidents.

See you soon.

Neil.

Thanks for the kind words about Dave, much appreciated.
Catch you at the Euro's.

The furthest target at our club is 61 yards !!!! !! I found that very challenging whilst bench rested on my rucksack. I was shooting an ultra 10.

I have to say I'm gobsmacked at your achievement!!!

The more I read on the forums about the achievements with sub12fpe the more I am amazed.

Thanks for sharing Alan

Back into FT after a bit of a break. I'm going to do some more long range testing later, when the weather settles and we get a calm day. But I'm going to do it with my FT springers. Will update when I've done the first test, hopefully not too long now.

Hi Neil

I hope you are well

I have just spotted this old thread

That group on our 100 yd range is excellent

Phil (Archie), Stan and myself will have a try with our TX's, Prosports and Walthers off the bench on the 100 yd range to see what we can achieve.We have been talking about trying our rifles at 100yd for some time

I have an AA400/Zenith modified that has produced some fantastic groups at 80 yds but not tried it at 100. So i will see what it can do. It has just had its first service in 10 years and was still going strong - what a reg!! Nick has said it was well overdue a service for 3 years now.

The 100 yd range is pretty sheltered but we will still need a calm day to get anywhere near your group

Bench tested at 50 yds the best springers that we have are not too far behind our EV2's, MPR's so it will be interesting to compare the PCP and springer rifles in the same wind conditions at double that range.

Interesting that you used Daystate pellets. James O. has let the club have some very old stock of these (possibly 2007 ish) and both Archie and Stan have been getting superb groups at 50 yds with them

I will post our findings

that's pretty impressive, as a newbee it looks like that would be hard to beat, well done bud.

That's good mate I struggle to do that at 55yds most I've done is 72yds target at our club with tx200 and pre charge wind and wobble prevailing
