The Rules.
Any .177 rifle. Any sights. Standing and unsupported. No slings for steadying. The range should be as near to 6 yards as possible. A little under is ok as is a bit further if you need more distance for a scope to focus. Only use the GARC pdf target sheets - download and print from the GARC Website. One shot per "bull" for a total of 10 per round. Score the target yourself. Completed entries to be photographed and posted in this thread.
Honesty is the key here so, after practicing, commit yourself to shooting an official entry then submit it warts 'n' all - no shooting a dozen sheets then entering the best!

Small improvement on today's submission - very very happy with a 27!
Strange happenings - last one, RWS hobbies with the target on a card backing - nice neat round holes. Today, same pellets, same gun, same backing - ragged holes
Come on Who?*, get some cards in!
(*or anyone else actually, I can't compete with myself, mum says I'll go blind)

Come on Who?*, get some cards in! If it wasn’t for the prodding.... I haven’t touched the rifle since the 10/3. So first (and only) ten shots this evening -

Hooray - another entrant! I can start drawing up a table now. I should add that, if you can't shoot at home, you can take part at Denwood on the 50m range now that it's open again. Any .177 rifle with any sights is eligible. Just bring some printed targets and a manly attitude to standing shots.

Saving on pellets... got to be fiscally frugal. One card/ten pellets, gun in bag, finished for the day.

Same again, one card/ten pellets. Is top right bull a '2' or a '3'? It's a "3" Left the cards in the workshop yesterday evening, dampness got to them, hence the less than neat holes

None of those sophisticated target rifle pcp’s - humble HW25 & HW30S

Didn’t shoot today, wanted to give my elbow a break from cocking this power house springer!

Who'd it - no practice, 10 shots and done. Round 3 - 26. Close... very close...
I like shooting the little old HW25. Very much back to basics.

Round 4 & 5 with the little old HW25, doing me proud.
A bit of a poor show on Saturday, just didn't seem to be able to home in on the centres. Better this morning with a 27 for round 5.
I do like a row of 3's... two rows of 3 would be better!
