Finally broke my first target.

Now I have 1 3/4" (4.5cm) target.
And my 3rd shot was a hit with new bands. I am digging this improved accuracy lately.

Using 5/16" steel and 5/8" straight cut .55mm GZK on my Alabama Hackberry natty.

Then I shot the broke target in the mouth. I immediately packed it in and wnjoyed the high.

Isn't it a good feeling when you just can't seem to miss?????

 

[MakoPat]

Yes! It is.

Then I put on a smaller target and even the near misses are fun.

What's your opinion of gzk 0.55? Would it be good for 3/8 steel, with a 3/4 butterfly draw?

 

[MakoPat]

Skropi, I do believe it would be. I love it...I have a very short draw and I compensate by using close 4.25 elongation and slightly smaller ammo to increase my speed.

I thought so, as I use too little rubber with gzk 0.66, just 12.5/10mm taper, so 0.55 should be fine with a 15/10.
By the way, why dont you use a 4.5-4.7 elongation? You will get a more efficient speed this way!

 

[MakoPat]

I use it with tabs...and I find a this speed to be perfect for me. But I may give 4.75 a go and see if I like it.

But within a small error of margin I get my bands too soft to hit or too hard to draw... wear and tear on my hannds leads to less shooting.

I dont like heavy draw bands either, as they are not needed for target work. If you try a 4.75 elongation, just use much less latex, so as to keep the draw weight you currently shoot. This setup should shoot faster in theory.

Tag, you gave me this target! And some knockdown targets. I shoot those when I want to be quite.
