    Is it a good idea to post some of the winning targets from competition? Or if we are brave enough to show when we think we have done a nice target outside of competition?
    I know we have have 2 photo's threads, but not much stuff gets posted like what I am talking about.

    Well, I'll be the first then..... This is from my first 10m Air Rifle match last weekend in UCD. I've only been shooting AR for 3 weeks so excuse the shotgun effect on some of the targets.
    Perhaps Sparks, original_psycho et. Al. might put up some of their 570+ targets by way of comparison

    Wish I had a 570+ to put up bigred :D
    And 437 after three weeks is absolutely fine!

    Hmmm. I should have a score around here somewhere...

    50m outdoor:

    (yeah, the 50m one doesn't count as a score, but it was such a nice shot that I actually cut it from the card on the day 'cos it was the first card on the first day I was training with the national squad :D )

    I was at Hilltop trying out pistols prior to purchase.

    Each target contains...

    1.A group shot with two hands supporting pistol

    2. An off-hand group.

    My opinion - the taurus and beretta were too big for my hands, despite good groups,I had the most fun with the glock -and the glock cluster is 4 shots.

    All off-hand groups shot very high, often missing the shoot-n-see target. down to control on my behalf

    I was going to post up some of my own targets... but I think I would have more credibility if I just got the thread closed!!!!!!!:eek:

    Ahh I might take the plunge..... tommorrow.

    Hi mosulli4
    What distance were you shooting from? Those two handed shots look very good.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,817 ✭✭✭Tea drinker


    Hi, this is my first go at rapid fire. .22lr
    It's 20 shots at about 15yds. No timer but I think about 17 seconds. Two handed as well.
    Take no notice of the Shania Twain CD, eh, it's my wife's

    Rafer,

    It was short range - whatever the nearest is in Hilltop - 7 to 10 yards I would say...

    Two out of four tons (100's) scored in Rathdrum last Sunday. The 10 ring is 12.92mm in diameter, the bullet is 5.6mm in diameter and the range is 25 yards. Cutting the line of the 10 ring gets you a 9!

    Different shooters btw, the first guy had another ton, but this one was prettier!

    You would think so, but cross shooting on your own target? Oops!

    That makes it a 99!

    Anyway, I think I can trump you seeing as my last ton may be published in Shooters Digest :cool:

    Beat that!
