I have a Savage Arms BTV on the way, but may get it before I find ammo! I will get in on this soon...

[FredoSD]

Today is my day off, I'm going to shot the 15 yrd pistol targets and get a jump on some of you good shooters. That's right in case you missed the nuance of my post I'm talking SMACK.
come on rim fire shooters get in on this! You will not be sorry, trust me on this.

[10xhobby]

Hey fredo, I hope you printed a bunch of targets, your gonna need em. hahaha

[FredoSD]

10XHobby, Ha you're right about that, I could have printed a hundred targets. I hoping to give you a run this month however.......
I guess I'll put my official complaint here.
I shoot the 15 yrd iron/red dot match. I can not see this months targets. Well I can see them but I can not see the bulls eye. The lines are just not contrasted enough for me to know if I'm on center or a bit off. Bassicly all I can see a large black circle. Because of the dark back drop I can not see my previous shot either. I know "Boo Hoo, poor me" Needless to say I will not be posting any targets tonight

FredoSD has made a very gracious jesture for our matches. He is the owner of Star Leather, USA, purveyor of fine leather articles. He has offered a Hand Made Gun Belt as a prize for the February match. So here is how its gonna work.

1. There are 3 targets that will be in the running for this prize.
a. The 25yd Pistol Target, offhand or bench, your choice. Max Score 100pts.

b. The 50 yd Iron Sight Target. The two center rings will be scored as a "10" then 9, 8, 7, etc. That's different than the scoring in this months match on that target but its the only way I could think of to equalize scoring for all 3 targets. Max Score 100pts.

c. The 100yd Scoped Target. To compete for this prize you will need to shoot 10 shots. The center red dot and next white ring will score as a "10" then 9, 8, 7, etc. That's different than the scoring in this months match on that target but its the only way I could think of to equalize scoring for all 3 targets. Max Score 100pts.

2. The winner will be selected by me based on the best score on these 3 targets. In the event of a tie I will use the normal bonus points as the tie breaker. If that is still a tie then the shooters who tie will need to have a shoot-off to determine the final winner.

FredoSD will not compete (I don't think he wants his own belt anyway) and I will not be competing since I am the judge that determines the winner.

Many thanks to FredoSD for offering this prizes. Lets have a big round of applause for him.

I'll also post this in the Feb Match thread.

Well it's in writing so I guess it's official now.
Izzy has it right I will be donating a hand made gun belt in your choice of color as long as it is black or some shade of tan.
The gun belt will be lined and will be your choice of a stiffener inserted to prevent sag or without a stiffener.
The belt will come with 7 holes vs. the average 5. This allows you to use the belt with a IWB or OWB holster.
You can and I suggest you send me the buckle you would like on the belt. If not you will be subjected to my fashion sense in buckle choice.
All *Star Leather USA* products are made by hand by me in America.
Turn around time from the time the winner contacts me with their belt measurement will be 2-3 weeks. It could be a lot less depending on my work load at the time.

Good luck to all of the shooters.

Here is how I measure belts, please use this system for correct fit.

"THANKS FREDO", that is a great prize. Thanks so much for your donation.

No, one target. The 3 targets are competing against one another. The best of the 3 will be the winnner. Only one target will be the winner.

Couldn't find any scoring info for 50 yd scoped target this month so i went ahead and scored with 10, 9, 8 etc scoring. I will edit later if needed.
Target shot with RWS r50 from a Savage mk II BV with a Nikon 6-18x40 scope. Benchrest, bipod and rear bag completed the set-up. Score using above method was 190 with applicable bonus points for groupings. My next best score was using SK std+ for 184. Target printed at 100% scale.

Edit:
After a quick PM to the match coordinator, I rescored using the official scoring technique. New score is 222. Hope it's clear as mud what i did on my target.

[FredoSD]

Covingtonhouse: nice shooting, you set the bar high. This should be a fun month to watch.
