Shooting (and missing) a Bell Target

[@sid35gb]

I would have tweaked the elevation turret for this one…. Either way it’s not easy at that distance.

[@LPGexpert]

The reason I don't tweak the turrets for every shot is because I prefer to keep the zero at my preferred 25m distance, and experiment with hold over/hold under at distances in between and beyond. 👍👍

Tony I would love to get something like that target over here.

I thought bell targets were widely available across most parts of the world, Ian. Whereabouts are you? Thanks for watching, by the way. 👍

Bloody hell that's one testing target ... Think you got 3 .. not 2 like you said ..

[@LPGexpert]

It would have been challenging enough if the rifle was pressurised correctly, let alone distance mis-calculations and and an R10 down to 90bar! It wasn't actually 3 full-on hits, Mark, more like 2 and a half. If you watch carefully you'll see one of the hits splits the pellet on two, so only half of it went through the hole. I couldn't hear the 'ding' from my shooting position, but the camera and sound recorder picked it up quite well. 👍

@@LPGexpert Tony , if it was for a few quid in a bet . I'd claim the three hits .lol ... But your right , I never really let the pressure drop below around 110 bar ..

@@markhomer7628 That 90 bar was the starting pressure. 😂

[@markhomer7628]

@@LPGexpert Just as a matter of interest , what was the pressure when you'd finished?
