The weather was not my friend this weekend for 30 yard attempts but I was able to shoot indoor late yesterday.
I call my indoor range 20y but in reality, if I stand/sit as close to one wall as I can, without leaning against it, the firing line would be at about 58ft.
Even worse, the software I'm using has preset distances that work great, but when I type in 58, it seems to consider that to be yrds.... So I used one of the presets of 50ft. It was my closest option.
While going from ~ 20y to 30y is a big difference in this challenge I needed to start somewhere and the wind wasn't letting me shoot .177 at 30y outdoor.
I shot a half dozen targets on a sheet I made up (that I'm going to change) and managed 2 of 6. This was AFTER a fair amount of shooting off target.
My manual measurments and the software's measurements were pretty close once you factor in the fact that I shot at 58' and the software think I was at 50'.
I think I'll practice this when I can and use the next preset of 25y for my next personal challenge then eventually move out to 30y.
After shooting these, I have a whole new perspective on 'groups' and I want smaller ones!
