I tried to shoot between the rains and windy conditions yesterday but it was tough to sit there waiting out the conditions we were having here. I tried the splitting of the cards while the wind was down and it was OK after getting things lined up to be straight with my shooting bench. I shot at the 22 yd. pellet gun back stop but where my bench was set it was more like 20-21 yds. and I didn't want to move my car out in the rain. First I shot the Rem.513T with the Redfield peep sights. Very hard to see the edge of the card and took a lot of looking and then looking away to get focused on the card edge. The first shot put a gray streak across the card. Straightened the card back up again and and after trying to get focused on the edge the next shot cut it in half all the way through. Maybe a little lucky. Then I tried the same distance with the Grand Finale CZ with the 6X Burris HBR and it was much easier than peep sights but even with the very fine cross hair it covered the card edge. I took one shot at a spot on the card board backer to see if it was on and it hit exactly on the mark. So then to the cards. I hit two straight with 1 shot each. I need to get some more cards today as I am getting low now. My wife said I never was playing with a full deck any way. The picture of the cards. RWS Target ammo for both rifles.
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

Great shooting as always bandit, and love how you're getting creative with new ways to shoot, including switching fingers as necessary LOL.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
