I'd give you 10 for that one TCwriter. Looks like a cleaned target to me.

+1 Nice shooting TCWriter!

These TR's are impressive shooters right out of the box. I'm definitely looking forward to trying mine again for next months match.

[TCWriter]

Thanks guys. Under a magnifying glass, the upper left bullseye really doesn't look like a 10; I scanned the target instead of photographing it, and maybe the target getting pressed flat is affecting things.

In any case, a 115 gives me a reason to shoot it again, though one month, I'd love to see a 100 yard target.

I haven't messed with anything on the TR, which is pure fun on a stick. Our 300 yard range will melt out soon, and then we'll see how it really shoots.

Can't argue with a man's honesty though if you want me to send you my rimfire "cheater" I will LOL. I tried again this weekend and managed to eek out a couple of 110s - dammit - last target was clean until the 11th shot which went cleanly in the 5 ring prompting me to shout obescenities and throw the last shot into the 5 ring as well. One more weekend to clean it - then I need to concentrate on getting everyhting ready for our own 22 match.

Someday I hope to make it down for one of your APTS rimfire matches, (though nine hours is a lot of driving). It's one thing to shoot paper at a time of our own choosing, but creating accuracy on-demand is a lot more fun...

I did a two day rimfire match last year - similar to the large HP tactical matches except without the prize table an will probably do another this year towards late summer or early fall (right before time changes again). That said it would be great to have a bunch of ya from up north come down - can promise some good shootin and good food afterwards.

[TCWriter]

I'll keep it in mind. Always tough to leave the mountains, but a two day shoot might make the 18 hours of driving and two hotel nights worth it.

The real hassle isn't the trip, it's the very real chance I'd like it enough to want to come back right away...

Is it ok to use .17HMR? It is a rimfire.

I see no one has answered your question and I am not an official of the match but Hey, it says "April Rimfire Match" and the .17HMR is certainly a rimfire round so I'd guess its ok. I would think the same goes for a 22WMR or even one of them old 35 cal rimfires. Heck, shoot it and post it, couldn't hurt.

LOL, I think I got a 87-89. I'll post picture. I was using Winchester X HV, some old ammo that stuck every 4-5 rounds. My groups were about 3" at 50 yards...I did manage to get 5-6 10x but the rest lowered my points big time by a total miss! lol, some even got a 9 on another target! Anyways, I'll post pic later. lol.

This was a target I could see.

Thanks, Karl

Would you fine shootin' folks like a similar target size for May?

[surfNshoot]

Would you fine shootin' folks like a similar target size for May?

yes. i think this months was a great size. I'm also open to reaching out further. 100yds maybe even 200yds? Obviously the target would need to be much bigger at 200.

OK took my Savage out for its third round of tryouts
There was no wind when I started shooting but once the sun fully came out the wind did pickup and affected my shots. Unfortunately I cant break the 84 point barrier but next time Im going prone and I tend to shoot better that way
Gun was setup as you see with a front rest and bag

I used Aguila 40gr LRN match ammo. While not the best it is pretty consistant.




early morning zeroing



Mid morning





Late morning



I am now determined to break the 100pt barrier but after I knew I wasnt going to break it today I shot some federal 40gr LRN HV at one of the boar targets at 200m and once I got the right mildot I was dinging it 10 or of 10 times which was pretty sweet considering some guy with a scoped M1A was dancing around the target and not at all too happy with me outshooting his 1000+ dollar rifle with my .22
