Well dickin around this evening, I tried something that was suggested to me by a subscriber. "Try lighting a match" with an air rifle. Ive never tried lighting a match with any gun before, so in the basement at 14 yards, in perfect conditions, seemed like as good of a time as any to try. After testing some of my most accurate pellets last night, I settled with the Air Arms Diabolo Field Heavy 18 grain pellets. They performed amazingly. Using those pellets I was actually able to light a match, earlier this evening. Tho I missed the opportunity to try and shoot the match back out, afterword. Disappointed, and ecstatic I figured it would be a real challenge to do so. Thus was born the Matchstick Challenge. Grab a cold snack, and enjoy.
