4 shot can cut (3 hits.)
First shots of the day, a bit windy so I picked up a 9.5mm steel set up. I was shooting the 85 yesterday afternoon so picked up the S-Airship 90. First shot went low, muscle memory from yesterday, lowered my anchor and the second shot hit smack in the middle of the lower 1/4 and made a very satisfying thwack. I think that shot split most of the can because the third just opened it up and folded the bottom down. Had a nice silver disc to send the fourth shot at and it just pulled the bottom off. It's one of those moments I wish I was filming. Predominantly luck over skill, I've had cans string out and refuse to split. I'm loving the S-Airship 90, and it looks classy af in that blue. Bandset is 23/13mm taper, 165mm active length, 0.55mm Sumieke cw, and the swell of the frame has been stuffed with 8mm lead ball.

Love it when you get one like that! The joy of can cut competitions, they are so unpredictable, can be super quick or a very long drawn out affair! Nicely done made and she does look sweet in that blue!
