Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns 24hourcampfire pistol competition--May 2012

Courtesy of DocRocket, we've got a course of fire for May.

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
1) Shoot the drill cold. Practicing the same drill for hours and posting only the best target kinda defeats the purpose.

2) Use a shot timer or have someone watch a clock for you to make sure you're done within the time constraint.

3) After shooting the drill take a pic of the target with a set of calipers or a ruler or something measuring the group. Post that pic TO THIS THREAD.

4) When you hang your pic also post...
-What pistol you used and any modifications you've made to it, and the caliber.
-What holster you used (duty rig, concealment, open carry...)


5) Deflave is the judge for May. If anything goes wrong, it's all his fault.

COURSE OF FIRE
2 shots weak hand only at 3 yards in five seconds
2 shots strong hand only at 5 yards in five seconds
2 shots kneeling at 10 yards in five seconds
2 shots standing at 15 yards in ten seconds
2 shots any style at 20 yards in ten seconds

*Weak hand shooting can be done from the low ready, guard position, or whatever you want to call it. You can start with the gun in your hand. The other four strings will be fired from the holster.

*The target will be a paper plate, or 8 1/2" circle drawn on a target or piece of paper.

Good luck and remember, any problems are Deflave's fault.

Cool idea. Kinda like postal chess.

Sweet!

I should be able to do this Frigay.


Travis

I'm in.

Good.

See you Wednesday?


Travis

Sure.

I have a request, since nobody has likely shot the course of fire yet.

Could you make the last two shots fired at 50 feet instead of 60 feet? My range only goes to 50 feet.

Huh? Can we? Puh-leeeaaaasssse?

You can just submit your score with that caveat.

15 yards? That's awful.


Travis

16.667 yards actually, but yeah, I get your point. It's an indoor range built a long time ago for rimfire competition.

I will hang the target against the backstop instead of the target stand, which should add a yard, and I will stand back from the firing line, which could get me another yard. So I should be around 56-57 feet on those last two shots. Maybe even 58.

I will put a second paper plate behind my target plate for the last two shots so we'll know whether those shots are inside the rest of my group or whether they are the outside shots.

I do not, currently, have access to our indoor range and am working day shift all week prior to the Tough Mudder this weekend.

It will be next week before I can get to it.

George

Somebody sounds scared.


Travis

PS-Since I AM the judge, schit talking is extra authorized for this event.

That should work.


Travis

Does it have to be a clean paper plate then?

Absolutely not. As long as we can identify and measure the group.


Travis

If you pull one out of the trash can I doubt they will give you grief.

2 shots kneeling!

You gotta be kidding, with my knees?

PM Jeff O for some helpful tips.

Travis

Bite Me!

Good luck with that - you know he's not supposed to talk with his mouth full....

No.
