Nice shooting!
Good to see folks participating with pistols. Good for everyone since it makes us improve each month. Same with the rifles...

[10xhobby]

I have been shooting at a new indoor range in Sacramento "THE GUN RANGE" It is 25 yards. It is perfect for pistol and I will be shooting some 22lr rifle matches soon. Maybe we can have some new 25 yard rifle targets next month.

See Attachment
Take 3 shots at each bullseye. Score your target. Target may be shot off hand or from a bench rest. Off hand shooters will compete separately from bench rest shooters.

25 yard Pistol Target, Open Class. Use any optics you want.
Use the 50 yd Iron Sight Target
See Attachment
Take five shots at each bullseye. Score your target. Target may be shot off hand or from a bench rest. Off hand shooters will compete separately from bench rest shooters.

For each target indicate your total score and if not already indicated on the target note the distance shot and what type of sights. Ex: Score =xxx, Iron Sights, Scope, Red Dot. No fair shooting iron sight targets with a scope for score.

Rules:
This is an online match. Print off the targets, shoot where and when you want. Come back and post your targets for those in your face bragging rights!! I do encourage meeting up with other match shooters. Any rimfire firearm is eligible. Shooting from a benchrest, prone, sitting, standing, hood of your car, leaning against a tree is acceptable. Using a rest in which the Rifle/Pistol can be locked down is verboten.

Bonus Points

Here is how it will work. This is only on targets that have multiple shots on one target. We shoot the targets as normal and add up the scores like normal. The twist is we shoot for groups as well. For example, if we are shooting 5 shots on each target. If none of the 5 bullet holes are touching you get no bonus points. If two are touching you get 2 bonus points. If three are touching you get 3 bonus points on up to 5 bonus points for each target.

Finally for any questions just drop me a PM and I'll get right back to you. Feel free to also PM me with feedback/complaints/errors I make, etc... These matches are based on “Gentlemen's/Ladie's Honor” so go shoot and have fun.

Took me a while to get it all sorted with work and all. I've been using alot of the same targets which is ok with me. If you guys would like to see some new targets don't hessitate to PM me or send me the link to download them. I'll try harder to get this up faster each month but wow life sure gets in the way sometimes. Any help finding targets and/or sorting through to find winners is always appreciated. Thanks guys/gals. HAVE FUN!!!

Thanks go out to surfnshoot for putting in the time and effort it takes to put on an internet match like this. It is a lot of fun and I find myself working a little bit harder to shoot well. Maybe a few more shooters will join in and improve their own skills as well as having some fun in doing so.
I just downloaded the targets so it's off to the range.

[facn650]

Thanks surfnshoot.

Did you mean use the 25 yard iron sights pistol target or the 50 yard iron for the 15 yard pistol?

Thanks surfnshoot.

It is correct. Maybe I should have shot it first to see how dificult it is but aim small miss small. I'll try it tomorrow. I've never really done the pistol shooting but I think I'll take advantage of the indoor shooting range accross the street from my work.

[Izzy43]

So all you rimfire afficanados just a quick note to let you know I will be running the matches from Sept thru Nov to give surNshoot a much deserved break. Cudos to him for taking the time to do it.

At the same time I would like to invite all of you to consider running these matches. It would be nice to have 3-4 folks ( surfNshoot, myself and 1 or 2 others) who could run the match for 2 or even 3 months at a time. Any help would be appreciated and hey, you might enjoy doing it. I would always (at least until I'm on the wrong side of the grass) be available to help with targets when needed. I've saved a ton of em.

For anyone interested drop a PM to me and surfNshoot.

Good luck shooting this month. USMCCHET is already raising the bar. Love dem Kimber 82Gs.

[usmcchet9296]

Ill do Dec and Jan
