What?? no 25 yard winner??

Now that I'll buy a .22---I'd like to try one of these for fun; I'm only a novice.



From what position is one supposed to shoot?

Don't think there is a required position. I shoot from a bench with a front and rear bag. Just gotta be a rimfire weapon, scope for 50yds, iron sights or red dot for 25yds.

So it's pretty open-ended, huh....

surfNshoot,
When I post one target, I, usually, look for top score and post that score. Your score of 72 from 25 yds with peeps was very outstanding! However, with all due respect, I post these matches for fun, and try to keep it simple. Without making a bunch of excuses, when I post one target, I (usually) won't be going through each post at the end of the month to find out the distance each target was shot! I hope you understand! September, I will post a winner for each of the 3 targets!
Cheers!

It seems like everytime I make a position requirement for the match, somebody inevitably gets bent a bit out of shape, and participation suffers, so I ,usually, just leave it up to the shooter. Your participation would be appreciated!

No problem. I'll admit that I'd be novice, but I would definitely try this for fun. I'll be shooting with a CZ-452 Trainer (once I get it, that is) but the only problem is that my range's closest berm is at 50yds---and I will be shooting with the CZs awesome irons. Should I just ignore that and try to have fun with it and improve my skill?

Shoot both 50 yd targets today. There was about a 5-10mph crosswind at the range but pretty easy to compensate as it was fairly steady. Shot both targets with a Marlin 925M, .22wmr with a BSA Platinum 8-32x42mm Target dot scope. Learned a little about the rifle. As the barrel heated up the POI lowered about 1/2" or so but then stayed steady. Next time I'll heat it up before I begin shooting the targets. Might improve. Those 22 Mags heat up the barrel quite a bit.

The non-Elite target score was 52 and the Elite was 23. The Elite target is a good challange for me.

Can't wait to pick up my new .22 so I can participate in this. Should start the paperwork this Friday...I hope it's in by then. Sounds like fun.

Izzy,
Remember just one shot per target (15 shots) on the 50 yrd targets!
Max score on Not so Elite target is 30 pts!
Max score on Elite target is 45 pts!
My CZ will change POI when warmed up too! I like to shoot a mag or 2 before hitting a target!

Geez! can I read or what. To think I read the post on the targets three times and still screwed it up. Gonna shoot a lot more of the targets anyway. Thanks for putting me straight. I may have to hire a nanny to keep me in line.

Hah, so I'm not the only one who falls prey to the #of shots switcheroo! Fortunately we have modern statistics to get a post hoc estimate of your true score. The mean score: 52/2 = 26 out of 30 points. The median score: Best possible case = 29 points, worst possible case case = 23 points, median (score above or below which 50% of the possible cases fall) = 26 points. Most likely true score = 26 points.

Most likely true score = 26 points.

So if I get this right I think the true formula is:

Most likely true score = 26 x [two shots taken when only one is allowed]= Target is voided.
