Cutting the deck 2.1

[uncle bulgaria]

Hi everyone been a while, had mislaid my cardholder in the move.

But found it today.

A 1961 Webley MK111 .177 @ 9ftlb

Open sights

Hobby .177

16 yards outdoors (bit windy today)

Seated elbow on knee.

Card wasn't quite straight the leading edge is on the left hand side.

10 shots (ouch!) two witness lines and one partial cut

Gotta say pretty tough getting back into imagining where card is.

But back at it

Excellent shooting..... 16 yards with open sights - I struggle to see anything at that range, let alone the edge of a playing card!

Only a few more hours until the next journey commences so got the HW97K out.
Lack of practice shows but I still applied the 3-shot rule...
Since the 3-card fan seems to be flavour of the month I decided I must have a go also.

After the first salvo from right to left,

5 went down on 2nd shot.
Used the spare from 5 to finish the 7 on shot 4. + Second salvo spent on the 3

Then on to some more traditional: 3 for the joker and 3 more on the Queen then finally 2 shots for a slither on the corner to corner 7, but it's nigh impossible to see where the first corner actually is, so was quite pleased nevertheless.

Then moved on to 6-yard but the set-up on the 97 is not suited: 10 yards is the closest in focus. So hold under and pretty much guessing was involved

Still pleased that I finally got a chance to cut in July before the month is over. More travelling next week, then it'll be August.

I can't see it, but I can initially see the base it's in, so then a straight lift of the poa off the base, guesstimating where the card is.

Excellent training as it really forces maximum repeatable rifle control.

So I snuck out between rain showers and managed about 10 pellets on the x cards!

3 shots in and I cut the front card and nicked and marked the back card.





I quickly swapped the front card round and got about another 7 shots off.





Then more rain!

Next time it is.

 

[joe average]

Ooh I will have to give this a go

 

[Paynut]

Ooh I will have to give this a go

Me too………when it stops raining…..yep, we’ve had a good old downpour with more to come

 

[Backgardenplinker]

No rain here, maybe a little over night. Will see if can rig up the X cards when garden is free

 

[joe average]

Well feck me, I am a technological guru( if it works, and don’t ask me how I did it) managed a video of a single shot at the cross cards
So close , cut the first and almost the second, watch to end to see other card , not a fekin clue how to edit it someone let me know if it works please
