i will try my best to get it next week (ranges are too crowded on weekends for me... i like it quiet)

I shot today with my cmp kimber at 50 meters , this is a tough target . I shot 3 targets and the best score I could manage with pistol king was a minus 37. I shoot at inland fish and game and on sundays they dont open til 9:30 , this is just about the time the wind starts to pickup . I will add a pic some time this week and want try this target again next saturday when they open at 8

Shot with my ruger 10/22 and simmons 3x-9x and my 17hmr with tasco 6x-24x.

Gusty winds to ~10mph maybe 15.

The targets look RIDICULOUS!
Shots all over.

I got a lot of MISS TARGET, but maybe 2 or 3 bullseyes lol. Very bad groupings, all over.

I`ll re-do this when there is NO wind

What 22 ammo are you guys using? I`m using the Auto Match bulk pack from wal-mart seems some still have more/less powder than others.

-145

ummm yea, so going with scope next time.... so either my eyes are really bad (since i wear glasses) or my sights need adjustment.... or i just really suck ha
BTW: i was shooting Eley ammo Sport 40gr ammo.

IMO the targets was pretty much unseeable at the 25 meter mark. The stock ruger front sight bead is actually bigger than the 1 inch circles so it was hard to hold on target.... plus Prado does not have benches only wobbly small square stands to prop yourself on... so its more like shooting on knees in terms of stability.

EDIT: i'll be happy if someone can also give some shooting lessons with the 10/22, esp if you are near the Prado range

I know it's not the correct target but it's close

Model 22A pistol iron sights 25 yrds. The 10 ring is 1"


oops forgot it was supposed to 15yrds for a pistol. next time

July Rimfire Match

Ok, since last months was so hard...here's one that will go over better.

Print this target at 100% and shoot:

http://www.bghi.us/targets/target01.pdf

From 50 yds with scope
From 25 yds with open sights and red dots

Shoot 5 shots at each of the four targets.

Here's the catch:

Top 2 targets must be shot standing, unsupported, sling OK
Bottom 2 targets must be shot from a rest

Choose the best single target score from the top (standing) and the best single target from the bottom (rested) and add those 2 target scores together for the total.

Remember only add 1 standing target, and 1 rested target for the total.

Post your scores, your targets, and details for all to admire!

Enjoy!

Oooh great...I suck off hand.

[maxicon]

Much better! I think I'll make the grey parts black, as I have a pretty hard time seeing both the sights and the target at 25 yards.

if you do a digital edit, can you send me that copy? i would like the rings to be white too, save some ink you know...

[22popnsplat]

I am considering trying the 50 yard target with the pistol again , When i shoot this standing may i hold the gun anyway I want ? my intention is to try a modified Taco hold that is sometimes used for hunting .I will be glad if I can just keep those shots off the bench targets.

[thempopresense]

How does this work, would like to try! Is there a link I can read for rules and scoring?

Thanks.

[Scratch705]

i'm guessing the scoring is based upon what the targets itself says. each ring has a # so that would be the score i'm assuming?

as for rules, it is stated in the first post.

[kgcabs]

Looks good.

I like the additional space between the targets. Hope we get a few more target posts this month.

Ok here's a target from 7/22
CZ 452 American with a Mueller scope
50 yards wind left to right @~10mph
taking the 2 targets on the right I scored:
top 10, 9, 9, 9, 9 center part ripped out on last shot
bottom 9, 7, 5
total = 67pts

Hopefully someone will post some other targets! Bueller?

[Scratch705]
