Saturday morning I went to the range at 9:45 and shot consistent dime groups at 30 yards, bench rest and by myself. I was using the CPHPs. About 11:00 or so the regular crowd started to drift in and inquired about my new 850. What kind is it,,,,, Hows it shoot,,,,,Thats made in Germany??,,,,Why would they make a CO2 gun into an air gun???? Those kinds of questions.
I offered it up to the experts to shoot. I could feel the skepticism in the air. How accurate could it be???? Joe started shoot for a water bottle cap at 50 yards,,,, took him about 7 shots to sight it in and destroy it. He walk away amazed. He is one of the elite shooters in the club. He shot it later and was really impressed with the accuracy. Several other of the top shooters tried the rifle and were duly impressed at 30 yards. Carl put the first two shot in the same hole and wound up with 4 at a ¼. He was really surprised with the first two shots.
Joe later got out his Chrony and was blown away at the 1068 that the CPHSs put through it. We tried some WalMar pointed pellets and they were even higher (1079). He gave me some JBL heavies and they shot around 965. Every one was like,,,,, well this is just too fast to be accurate.
My position remained,,,,,,,,, look at the results.. although unsaid.
I couldnt make it over to the FT today due to other obligations, but I realize that Im not in the same league that they are shooting. Itll take a LOT of practice the get there,,,,, if ever. They are good.
