Hey Tony,

Thanks for the help. It says that it cannot take an image file lower than 150kb.  The lowest my Mac will save to is 172Kb.  Any thoughts??  Thanks.

Hi Thanks for the great welcome all,

I was using my .177 RWS48 that has been fully tuned by Rob Hawkins.  It gets around 920 with Beeman FTS according to Rob.  I don't have a chrony..yet. I have a RWS lockdown mount, and a Bushnell Banner 6-18x50 set at 12x.  The pellet I used was a standard unweighed Beeman Crow Magnum out of the tin. BTW, the rifle is a Umarex Refurb, after the tune, I can get to about 1" or less on the 50 yard range, rested.  It shoots a lot better than I can.

Distance was 10 yards (measured) outdoors. It was very breezy, cloudy and 45 degrees. Spring in Seattle.

I can't wait until next weeks match.  I am going to enter in the pumper rifle match as well...

Thanks all. Hopefully I will get the picture resizing figured out and I can submit photo's to back up my score claims...until then, just assume I am a fantastic liar :)...

Losing your knack eh Bill! LOL!! Was it the very first shot? Never mind, It's still awesome shooting. Anyway, down to my effort. Please with my first 4 shots, then let a loose one fly and that was it, steadily got worse and worse!

Shot with the Disco .22 sporting a leapers 3-9X32 set on 3 using gamo match pellets! Weather, sunny, warm, no wind but a large dog pulling on my leg! My excuse and I'm sticking with it!!

Andy,LOL,LOL!!! you are 100% correct, very first shot of the day and I either pulled to the left or twitched to the left............Shoot Safe and Enjoy......Bill

I knew i wasn't going to get to all the matches and kept thinking (as i was posting the last couple) that I shot something else. doh... this was still hanging on the duct seal from a friday shoot.

Weapon:   Talon 6-24x50 Centerpoint (Shorty)   
Pellet:   Beeman H&N Match Wads   
Dist/Pos:   10m / Standing / Offhand   
Score   195 7x   
      

Shot #20 (lower right hand target) made my day. Black dot gone. Under magnification there might be a fibre or two but the rest of the slight visible blackness is lead. Usually my last shot is my problem child...
