Okay the camera is a Casio FC 150 and the video was taken at 240fps.
The original video is much more clearer as it was shot in HD.

The camera gets mounted at the eyepiece end of the scope with the DKA2 Adapter.

Scope used for taking the shot is a Leupold VX3 with Half Mil Dot reticles.

The setup used to shoot "The Target" is a condor with a 12" barrel in .177 at lowest power.

I swap barrels depending on the application.

For "The Target" I wanted it to be backyard friendly and used the setup at lowest power.

Pellets used were JSB Exact in 10.3gr

Hope that sums all. :D

Pramod P

I've been doing this to my neighbor's mangoes from last several years with my old CO2 Feinwerkbau target pistol but never thought of recording it. These mangoes taste better then any I've ever eaten so far. I rest the pistol on the window sill of course and shoot. The distance being 8to14 Meters.It indeed helps boost one's self esteem. Thanks for reminding me Pramodsid...... I shall start off tomorrow itself as the mango shooting season is on.
BTW, the fruits that loom over your property are rightfully yours. Ethically in same manner as a dropped bird belongs to the hunter who finds it and the animal belongs to the hunter who draws first blood.
