Targets I use. I print all of my targets on card stock as pellets/bullets will leave a nice clean hole that is easy to get an accurate measurement of group sizes. The one target that has 25 bulls is an ARA BR50 benchrest 22 cal. shrunk down to fit a regular 8 1/2" X 11" paper, these targets measure 5/8" dia. https://imgur.com/QaJCgJF https://imgur.com/9uSIeP5 ...

PostPosted: Mon Feb 12, 2024 1:58 pm 
If I want to test the FPS/MPS of my generic Crosman F11 Nitro Piston (495 FPS limit), would $50 - $80 be enough? A few on Amazon naturally, but if I'm not getting accuracy, I don't want to waste money. I have a feeling the mods I made have decreased the FPS & I want to be sure it's shooting near the max of 495 FPS. I'd like one that measures above that amount since ...

 Post subject: Backstop
PostPosted: Mon Jan 15, 2024 4:14 pm 
So. What do you use for a backstop?

I am looking to set up a demo in a private facility so obviosly I do not want to cause any damage. Some people use the material from air bags, but that is expensive. I could use straw bales but that is not practical. I have just thought of using wood but I get to many pellets bouncing off of it. Are there other curtain options available ...

Hi guys!
I have mentioned a couple times previously in this forum that I have participated in some fun online competitions.
A new season just started in November (a season is six months so it runs until April). The submission date for the November entries just got extended by a week to allow some more shooters to join in.
I spent a few hours on the weekend reacquainting myself with some guns that I do ...

Not trying to change the Target Shooting section into some purist weirdness, I'm just a new guy trying to shoot well.

Having astigmatism and non-fighter pilot eyesight, as well as suffering from being mortal, I decided that controlling the amount of light in my eyes is kinda important to shooting. I bought a pair of target shooting glasses from our Canadian pro outfitter, Targets or Cibles.

 Post subject: Newb Diary: 60 shots in a row is more brutal than I thought.
PostPosted: Thu Oct 26, 2023 7:04 pm 
Just wanted to check in as a random person trying their best to go from "newb" to "decent shot". There is no competition aspiration, ego or theater in my body. Just another person that figured out that shooting is a full mind, body and spirit workout. Late to the party, that's all.

My story is about 10m pistol, but would love to hear your experiences, drawing comparisons even if not related to 10m pistols. Who ...

 Post subject: Homemade 10m Target Shooting Glasses with Iris and Blinder
PostPosted: Wed Oct 11, 2023 7:42 pm 
Well I'm not ready to spend the cash on real shooting glasses just yet. Heck my shooting isn't developed at all so now's not the time.

I have some regular low-end shooting glasses however!

.. and so I hand drilled a fixed iris/aperture (aka "hole") at the right spot for my left eye and painted both lenses black.

NOTE: The aperture is actually round. In the picture it's imperfect due ...

 Post subject: Pellet Trap - Pellets fusing to the steel plate!
PostPosted: Wed Oct 04, 2023 3:33 pm 
This is a pellet trap I picked up from Cibles for 30$ since I'm interested in 10m pistol and these are perfect for ISSF standardized targets.

It has a spring loaded steel plate to absorb the pellet momentum.

Fantastic little trap and it's a step above the Gamo cone traps, which are fine.

Shooting wadcutters (RWS R10 Match 7gr) into the trap with mostly paper punchers (sub 400 fps)

Check out the picture .. the ...
