So I don't get to the range as much as I used to. Life, distance, shortages blah blah etc. suffice to say I don't get to shoot my "powder burners" as much as I would like.

I have, however, been shooting my air guns quite often. Well since I haven't been able to get to the range I figured I would build up a rifle for my daughter. She is comfortable with a .22 LR rifle so I wanted something more like that in an air rifle for her without cocking effort etc.

So I built her an Air Arms S200T PCP rifle with a scope so we could shoot together now and then. Well she wanted to give it a go today so I checked her out on the rifle and set up a BIG target for her to make sure she understood the scope, holds and didn't shoot wild etc. etc. These were her first 5 shots from the rifle.....



.... so we moved on quickly.

Off to the Zombie horde. I let her shoot the top letting her get 5 body hits or 1 brain hit. I would shoot the bottom with a spring gun and had to get brain hits. She took a few shots to get her footing......and cleaned my clock.


We will be moving on to smaller targets. That's my girl.

Good work, Dad!

Awesome! I used to run a 10m Air Rifle match at my range in the winter, we would shoot 5 different targets and skills.

There is a target we used as the finisher called "know your limits" where it would start out as a quarter, then nickel, penny, and dime... the 5th target would be barely bigger than a .177 pellet.

You got points as you progressed, but the first shot to touch the outer circle would lose all your points for that target.

Made for some interesting matches!
