Good Targets. I like the red bullseye, easier for these old eyes.

PS: My shooting sucked in April so didn't post the targets.

I guess I missed something--is this match supposed to be for sporting/hunting guns or is anything permissible? Where do I send the targets?

Break out your rimfire, load it up and shoot these targets from any position following the outlined criteria. Add it up. Take a pic of your target/s, post it in this thread, and including pertinent info!

Just for fun and bragging rights.

Enjoy!

Last minute April post: Z5

Hi, I’m pretty new to Calguns, and since I just got a Zastava Z 5 .22 lr. I thought it would be fun to break it in on this April target challenge. My wife and I put about 75 rounds through it sighting it in and playing around with it. We tried some Fiocchi ammo, which didn’t seem to group very well, then switched to some 30 year-old Remington “Mohawk” .22 lr. (obsolete) which grouped a lot better. We wound up shooting up all the “Mohawk”, so I switched to Winchester 333 bulk can ammo for the April target challenge. The scope is a Simmons .22 Mag 3x9x 32 mm. with adjustable objective. Trigger pull on this gun is gritty and ferocious, so I think some trigger work is in order to get better accuracy, once I finish experimenting with different ammo. Both targets were shot at 50 yards in moderate but variable winds, 58 degrees, between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM under partly cloudy conditions.

The z 5:


The first target had most of the shots to the left of center. I counted a score of only 65, but looking at it now I think I may have cheated myself.



I moved the windage two clicks to the right for the second target. 75, better, but still not very good. I'll try the May targets with some different ammo. This is fun!!



Hmmmm... don't know why the pics came out so small. Next month...

[RimfireJim]

can we pick best 10 out of 12? :-)

Entering this on May 1, but I shot it on April 30 just before sunset. How's that for a last minute entry?!
Was doing great until I got to shots # 10 & 11. Interestingly, those two cartridges were from another box, but out of the same brick and with the same lot number on the box flap, so I think it is just pure coincidence.

Only 22lr? No 17HM2 or 17 HMR or 22Mag or 5MM Mag allowed? Just looking for clarification.

[Scratch705]

probably should have been more general. as dwh100 said any rimfire rifle.

[Timberwolf]

LOL we just used Target B in our 22LR match today except they shot it from kneeling at 50 yards.

[surfNshoot]

I took the iron sight and red dot guns out today to see what I could do. As soon as my new scope rings get here I will break out the Savage TR and see what i can do at 50 and 100.

First was my Mossberg 44US at 25yds. I'm fairly happy with the score.

Second was my Sig 522 at 25yds. I was pretty shocked how accurate this thing is. Check out that center target. Yess that is 3 shots.

First May Target

Shot the first target today. Savage MKII BTVS, scope was a Mueller 8.5-25x44 AO Mildot reticle (set on 16X) @ 50yds. Ammo was Federal Lighting 510B, 40 Grain Roundnose High Velocity. Light wind at 5-10MPH from 7 O'clock. Bright sunlight, temp was 68 degrees. Total score was 46. Scope is new so I'm still getting used to it but I feel like I'm shooting better than April. Not so much the scope but improving technique with practice. Gonna shoot a couple of times each week to hopefully improve. Getting my Marlin 60 back together this week so will use that with a red dot @ 25yds. Love these matches.

Seis de Mayo bump!

[usmcchet9296]

Took my Savage TR and Mossberg out to zero them before I go shooting with my friend this weekend and this is how I did
Savage TR at 100 yards 5 shots each target

It was a little windy but there are 2 real good groups there
Next up is my Mossberg M44 at 25 yards 5 shots

yes the group to the right is 5 shots
Im still figuring out how that happened but I anit complaining
