Sub 12fpe long ranges

[Sterling]

Coke tin (bottom) @ 107 yds.
.177 ProSport & .177 HW97.
From bench.
Just a slight breeze.
Not bad for springers.

Plan to try hitting empty cartridges when/if the summer still air arrives.

On a really still day at 100 yards myself and a good shooting mate can hit tin cans about 4 out of 5 times. Shooting a tx200 .177 off a bench. Not really up to VHTV accuracy but quite good enough for us.

I shoot my 10.5 fpe .177 at a 50mm spinner and hit it quite often from the kneeling position off my bum bag.
Soda cans are pretty easy at 75 as well.when I get past 80 things seem to fall apart.

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.
