MRPC Airgun Varmint Match (July 2014)

A new convert!  Mom is intense and got a kick out of shooting at the recent MRPC air gun competion.  25 cal airguns shoot at explosive targets (it's just sidewalk chalk, cut and put on a tooth pick) at 45 yards.  For those who break them all, the shoot off consists of shooting aspirin!  Since the targets are above the target frame, misses may be difficult to adjust for.

The club provides some level of handicap for bigger guns, 22 caliber shoots at 40 yards, 25 cal at 45 yards, and 30 cal shoot at 55 yards.

Lots of fun!

HM1000X at 105 yards

I took the HM1000X out for some testing of my setup at 105 yards using JSB pellets (25.4 grain) that had been head size sorted using the Lead Head.  Not a bad group considering I did not have wind flags out.  A 17 moa come up was required from my 45 yard zero.

For more information on the gun please see the page on the HM1000X at samsresearchbench.com.
