I would rather wareagle700 start a new thread since this is his baby. Maybe have a bolt class included? I could care less who starts it. The last one was all talk and no go.

Ya keep it here and just have an extra division for bolt guns. Maybe we can keep it clean with just entries, a separate thread for questions?

Right,
I plan on keeping it here and adding a bolt gun division (excluding benchrest and belly benhrest rifles). I didn't know about putting one in the hunting rifles section though. Not sure many people would put 20 rounds through their rifles though for it so trying to come up with a challenge that people would participate in.

Eagle...dooooooo it !
Will be cool to start it fresh as I’m sure people have some new toys..
I need to dust off the stag and shoot the challenge again anyway. I was sitting somewhat pretty till some of these jerks started bumping me down the ladder;)
A bolt challenge would be fun too. If there’s one thing there’s a chit-ton more of than 1” all day AR’s, it’s 1” all day bolt actions!
She never made it past the bedroom door, what was she aiming for...?
She's gone shootin..

I'll play. I would love to see some of these "1" all day long rifles"....tacticool or otherwise. I'm with bsa....I love this challange....its "put up or shut up". Can't tell you how many times I've heard that from some stranger at a range... .yet, oddly, I've never seen it in real life.

Any suggestions for a different target or did that last one work ok? I can change the size if needed.

Tried this this morning with my new Larue UU in 6.5 Gren.
Humbling, to say the least...
I plan on doing one every week, just to see how I progress as I get used to the AR platform, and may even start doing one with my budget .223.

I plan on doing one every week, just to see how I progress as I get used to the AR platform, and may even start doing one with my budget .223. That's a great idea Holston. When I first got into AR's (last year), this challenge was tormenting me. It was humbling (as you put it) to say the least. It's not that my groups were huge, or all over the place, but that I could tell I needed a lot of practice to get better at shooting the AR platform. I consulted with this great bunch of guys here and they went over what they used for stocks, barrels, grips, triggers, bullets, powder, loads, etc. etc... I learned every little bit helped. I actually owe a lot to these guys here for helping me out through my trials and frustrations... Good luck with your grendel and keep practicing.. I'm just happy to place in the top 10 of the challenge and to bump MM out of his spot a time or 2..

Dammit, I'll put up then...: ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/woGHExh.jpg) This one doesn't count. I don't even have the rifle anymore... I was actually using the same cheap azzed Nikon 6-18x40 on this Ruger as I used on my Stag 6HL that I placed 5th in the challenge with... I've got a 6.5 creedmoor that I'll be tinkering around with in this shoot, as soon as they lift the shooting ban in the national forest here and in WA...

Targets were fine, I just need to buy another high powered scope. I have 1-4's and a 1-6 right now but I do have a spare mount.
Humbling it is but don't get so wrapped in accuracy that you forget a 2 MOA rifle in field conditions is better than a 1 MOA rifle strapped to a lead sled.

BTDT in the Carl Ross positional match. Not a lot of competitors there. Got a lot of lip smacking from a few high up members, but they never shot...... : ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/jdXSfgt.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/Lu3S2tK.jpg) Lead sleds are for puzzies...

Sweet..
Eagle I don’t think the targets matter a bit so long as people follow the rules on how to shoot them
Do these need to be tacticool swat team rifles only? Do we have to add .250 to any group shot with a wood stocked affair?
I’m gonna shoot my .222 but wear my p220 in my thigh holster when I do it so I think that should count

She's gone shootin..
