Thanks Al. I ate after shooting. My heart rate is too fast after eating.
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

I’m going to get another reading on the distance tomorrow. Fifteen can’t be right. I did it in a hurry.

Hey, 15 yards is a really long shot with a BB gun. Official competition for BB guns is 5 yards, because that is their prime accuracy range and, even then, it takes something like Daisy 499B and high grade BBs to compete. My hat is off to you if you're even shooting that way at 10.

Love the kitchen theme on the targets you displayed but I have to say the old boots and shoes you have hanging are a hoot!

Re: Range Report: serious BB plinking
I rechecked and it is indeed 15 yards. I suppose hitting a two inch gong at 45 feet a few times is just luck. I was hitting it 10% of the time. Bet a blind shooter could hit it once.North Country Gal wrote: ↑Fri Sep 25, 2020 10:54 amHey, 15 yards is a really long shot with a BB gun.

The bullet traps are 20 yards from the edge of the shed where this picture was taken. In the pictures center is a windmill and I can hit it ever time with effort. In the first post the one large gong is usually what I shoot at because I can hit it every time. Then I will sometimes work my way down to smaller targets.
In most light you can see the BB flying towards the target. At 20 yards I need to aim a foot high of center. That is in addition to the already 6 inch drop it has sighted in for 15 yards.
The Nikon rounds distances to the nearest yard. So 15 yards is between 14.51 and 15.49 yards.
