Title: 5 FOR 5 AT 50...STILL GOT IT!
Post by: Douglas on November 24, 2018, 02:58:16 AM: It's been a long time cominig but I finally got a chance to break out my Grizzly by Beeman for a little fun.
I have not had the opportunity to do any target practice in so long I was a little concerned I might end up embarrasing myself. Low and behold I'm not quite as bad as I feared. Set up the target

took 50 paces back and took 5 shots and made 5 holes. :woohoo: :woohoo: 5 for 5 :ahhh :ahhh

Admittedly it's not my best grouping but it's also been 20 plus years sense I got to spend any serious time practicing so I'm ok with it.

Sure was fun and maybe I can get some time to rehone the skills. Who knows maybe I'll get back to splitting a pellet on a knife blade and getting a 10 for 5 again some day.

I love shooting my pellet guns. Unfortunately I don't get to do it as much as I used to! If you really want to have fun, get some Firebird reactive targets. They explode when you hit them, kind of like a bigger version of the caps we used to play with in the 70's.

Much bigger! :D
