Practice Time with 10 meter Air indoor!

To my surprise I located my backstop which I hang on a picture hook in the kitchen.  I found my 10m rifle but the custom scope mount is AWOL.  Special item made by Fenton Sandlin years ago with some "droop" in it to help a scoped target gun make the 45 yard shot.  Did I tell you I have my 10 in a row for Rams in Target Rifle?  I can remember it like yesterday even though my NRA Scorebook tells me it was May 7th, 2005!  Good times!  

Any who, the Anschutz 2002SSP is still functioning in 2022.  No primers.  No scuba tanks, no CO2 tanks.  Just one manual pump and shoot!  Even better, I am using up some pellets I bought for $1.50 tin at a Texas gun show.  And they shoot great!

The above two targets (10 shots each) was the first time I have shot that gun for 9 years.  Some cobwebs for sure.  Nothing should be in the white! Right target was a redo.  Maybe the third target I can keep them all in the black.  

Below is what it should look like EVERY time.  

I logged into SteelChickens for the first time in years.  Just to see what was going on.  Well, it seems like Silhouette is alive and well.  Here is a video for your viewing pleasure.  A number of you have been to Ridgeway.  I think just Mark went to Pe Ell with me.  

I went to Pe Ell for the first time in 2003 and my scorebook reports I shot a 23 and 21 in hunter and 19 and 24 in Standard.  Back then I was shooting an NS522 with a Weaver KT15 scope.  I great event.  Sadly I think my shooting has atrophied some and I might shoot those scores again with my Anschutz and Weaver 24.  Time to work on core strength!  Air will help!

Silhouette in NH and Winter Air Postal

 A few days have passed since my last post June 18, 2018.  Mostly some career demands took me away from the sport I love.  Now it is time to rebuild the New Hampshire Silhouette program.  

Media channels.  So many options.  I started to blog to share with others my travels to other clubs and major competitions.  I enjoyed them so much I wanted other to see what was going on in Silhouette outside the state of new Hampshire.  It morphed a bit into general lessons learned which I thought others might enjoy.  

Today, in 2022, with Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, I am thinking the Blogger format might not be the optimal tool.  Any and all input welcome.  

I used to use MailChimp to distribute email.  Yahoo no longer lets me attach documents.  They always limited their CC to 99 or fewer.  So MailChimp was the solution to all of that.  Now I have lost most of the emails.  And, for anyone that came on the scene post 2018 to current, I don't have their email either.  Input welcome.  

As winter approaches I am thinking about indoor Air Rifle.  Or outdoor on those days we are blessed with some warmer weather which this season has been a delight.  

I have a link to the official 10m air rifle silhouette target which we have used to have some friendly postal competitions.  This post is a start to bring this back should there be any interest.
