Sub 12fpe long ranges

[Rich]

Our club put on a mega bench rest shoot a while back. Two ten-shot cards to be shot at 60 yards and one ten-shot card at 80 yards. The comp was spread over five lanes laid out in a fan shape so the orientation to the wind was different for each lane. Competitors drew lots for their first lane, then their next two rounds were on different lanes each time.

Each person had a sighter card and a scoring card. No limit to the number of sighters but you had to put ten shots in the scoring card, in 12 minutes.

Can you believe it, we had just taken on a new member a few weeks beforehand and he hadn't bought his own rifle yet, so I offered to lend him my Airwolf (177 shooting 10.3 grain JSB heavy) and the blighter went and won the competition.

It's fired up a lot of enthusiasm for long range bench rest shooting and we've just completed a four-lane permanent 50 metre facility to meet members' demands.

With a ds mk3, air ranger, huntsman classic and a couple others in 177 sights set at about 50 yards I normally go one bobble to hit coke cans at 100 yards. Myself I prefer long distance plinking

My prefered mag vs dot ratio expires at 60yds .22 and 80yds .177. My setup allows a hit to a golf ball in winds up to 20mph with pretty much 95% success. No finger in the air just solid data.

I have two chums who learned that golf balls shoot back. Both were very lucky not to catch the retuning pellet in their eyes. Pellets come back from 40yds with enough energy to break skin and draw blood on thick sculls. They now have some interesting scars to show for the experiences.

I shoot my hunting setup at the range a majority of the time. Map6 hawke X7 mag 70-75 yard golf balls are easy meat for a benched S200 . Hit them freestanding from time to time... We have a Quality Street tin at near 80 for standing shots.. I smack that about with my .22 77..

I know of a chap who hit a Stella can at 250yd with sub 12! After seeing a woman do it on YouTube... I've not bothered to look that one up.

i only hunt so between 20-30 yards. i dont know meters. thats where my gas and leccy come from.
did get a rabbit at at nearly a quarter of a mile. me and my mate nearly had heart attacks when it fell over. but i did download chairgun and held over a lot.
nothing to be proud of but i shot a rabbit twice, or three if it counts. me and my mate were out on our tea break (understand my mukker was a copper) i shot a bunny first shot heard a hit. nothing happened. second shot it went straight down. went and fetched it and found holes through both of its ears. as i say nearly a quarter of a mile.
