Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Day At The Range ST. Patrick's day Challenge

Any of you guys want to participate? I know you guys are shooters here. Time to start pulling those rimfires out and shooting them. I know some of you guys hate measuring groups, so here's your chance, to shoot something different. Lets get it done!!!

Show Eli over at Day at the Range what kind of shooters we have here. I'll start this off.

Decided to dust off the Kidd barreled Ruger 10/22 today. Seems like it's been a couple months since I've shot it. Pulled out the ammo that the rifle likes. Some of you know me well enough now, to know that is the Federal Gold Medal Match. Here's a video, to get your blood pumping, so you know what the challenge is all about:


Here's the official site, so you can print off the targets and do some shooting:
DAY AT THE RANGE OFFICIAL SITE

To begin with, I'll say the weather sucked today. It had been raining, and I was hoping to get over there during a break in the weather. It was sprinkling a little on me, while I shot. Luckily the wind was not howling!!! I shot ONE damn target today, and this was it...






And the official target, with a score of 89. The best I could count. According to a couple guys I talked to on Youtube, they said if the carbon ring touches the line, it's still good, so I had to recalculate my score. That's not the way I normally score a target. Generally if the bullet breaks the line, you get that point. Eli was talking about "punching" some of the close ones with a gauge, so I guess like some of the guys on Youtube said, "it only matters where the bullet went". That FGMM ammo shoots pretty good in this rifle. What say you guys..:

The lower right shamrock had me stumped for scoring. The reason I crossed out the circled "16". One pedal may be a miss? So a score of 20? The carbon ring is so close to the line on a couple too. Eli may have to score that one!!

After watching a guy shoot it this morning, with his souped up 40X and the infamous RWS R50 ammo, it got the juices flowing. Too bad he flubbed it up a little:


Get out there and shoot. Hopefully you have a better day to shoot than I did!!! I'd like to see some CZ 457's, Tikka's, Vudoo's, Vintage rifles, and even some 10/22's participating. If you got them, lets see them!!!

Any of you other guys watch Nibs? He shoots a lot of vintage rifles. I really think he was under the weather when he shot this target:


I'm waiting for another shooter (rimfireSS) named Don, to shoot this one. He shoots a lot of souped up 10/22's. I don't consider mine "souped up", as you guys have seen this one before. I have something like $474.00 into it. It was built right though, and shoots straight.

I know you are thinking about it. Just print out a target...

😁🤪🤣

👏👏👏

Shoot it. I look forward to seeing your score.

Bsa that looks like fun… I know there’s some boys and some rifles heading to the hills next weekend so I’ll try to print some of those out and shoot ‘em up!

I can’t watch that video right now but it looks like a shot contained with the black ring is a five, anything touching the black ring is a two and anything outside of the ring is a zero…

Sound right?

Cert,

Awesome. I knew I could count on you and your brothers to participate. You guys are shooters. I look forward to seeing the ankle deep brass too!!!! Surprised you guys aren't in knee deep snow right now though!!! Some parts of CA are still getting hammered. I'm wanting to see how some of your guys' Vudoo's do. I keep thinking about what you said, and I'll eventually buy one.

Yes on the scoring. You'll notice a couple of mine are riding on the damn ring, or they would have been 5's. The lower right clover also has a broken ring, where I counted it as a 5, but the broken ring is from the lower right bullet hole that barely broke its own ring...

I’m not in those parts buddy it’s blue sky here..but the higher ups are getting dumped on for sure!

As per usual, it’s good news as we can use it

Just got one to print..
I didn’t notice the shamrocks are different sizes! That upper right is a tiny bastard

Ha ha. That's what I thought, when I printed them out too. You aren't kidding. I think the high score was shot by F-Class John, with a score of 75. He shot his Vudoo with Lapua Long range match ammo, so you know it's a pretty good challenging shoot.

I know there has to be some others here with interest. I realize this time of the year sucks in some places. I had to deal with rain earlier. If it's not the wind right now, it's either snow or rain!! Can't properly wring out a new rifle, and can't shoot best scores either. But we can get out and shoot, if it's not terribly bad. Good luck with it buddy. All your brothers are great shooters, so there may be some competition there..

Yeah I hear you.. I can’t complain about snow or freezing temps but the place we shoot is on top of a small ridge and there is a constant breeze.

It can range from mild to downright blowy but there’s usually a small window in the evening where it goes still, and that’s when everybody grabs their rifles and tries to get serious

My vudoo must be a hermaphrodite because it kicked out a duplicate when I wasn’t paying attention. I’ll bring that one and give it a whirl

I plan on going heavy on the sidearms this trip but I figure I’ll bring a vudoo, KIDD, and maybe knock the dust off a Win 52..

Very nice! Sounds like fun..

I look forward to seeing some pics of the carnage.

Talked to Mr. Revolver guy (Eli) through email, earlier today, and he thought it was pretty cool to see his challenge posted here. He seems like a pretty cool dude. He posted my score a little while ago. Oh, F-class John is not happy!!! I'm glad Eli scored it though, and not me. Some of those were too close for me to say. Like I said, the carbon ring was riding right on the scoring ring.

Would be cool to see some others here participating. You guys know me, I post some of these challenges from time to time. A while back when they were shooting the Z-challenge, I posted that one up, but didn't get a lot of participation. I'm not looking for bragging rights, just some good clean shooting. I think some guys get a little too anal about some things, like "write the yardage on your targets", or your action screw torque has to be just so etc. etc. The only true proof is going to be on the target downrange.

When the weather gets better, maybe some of you guys will pull your great shooting Remingtons out of the closet. I know you got them. Now's when I wish I still had my Savage mk2 FVT!!!! However, the 10/22 with Kidd barrel shoots pretty decent, for a semi-auto. I'm waiting for rimfireSS (Don) to post up his targets. He's a hell of a shooter with his 10/22's. I also hate to beat up on Josh over on pursuit of accuracy, but he's still in pursuit of it. Will he post a video, or target? We'll see.

BSA the peeps I shoot with DGAF about all the minutiae or worrying about being called out.. it’s just fun to shoot and do something different. This Guinness and Jameson target is a great opportunity for that

We shoot a fair amount of $5 dollar bragging rights shoots at the IBS? green heavy paper targets and it’s purely for fun.

And you know how it goes with rimfires..one minute you’re on fire and the next minute the guy whose a$$ you were chewing up and down has turned the tables on you and you’re looking at your rifle like it just cheated on you

That made me laugh. It's like anything I guess. Well tuned rifle, and good ammo, usually turns in some pretty consistent results. I was thinking earlier today, that I for damn sure would not shoot this match with my new CZ 457 American. Haven't worked all the bugs out of that one yet, or found the exact ammo it likes/loves. I'd be pretty brazen to say I'd even try my new Winchester model 320. Those rifles are just not in the same league as my Kidd barreled 10/22. The new to me TI Elite 22S stainless receiver 10/22 would be lacking as well. I do know that if you set them up right, you don't have to worry about CCB's, "warming up" the damn barrel and first shot fliers, or poi shifts, when you pull them from the stock, and put the action back in. etc. etc., though.

That new to me Winchester model 320, could possibly be competitive in this shoot, but the scope magnification is not high enough. I don't think I'd be able to see the little green dots, or the circle that outlines it. I'd just be aiming at the center of the clover petal, and then guessing where the circle is on the tail of the clover. Other guys running 7 power scopes would be in the same boat, unless they have eagle eyes. Like you said, that one clover is SMALL!!! The rest of them aren't big either, by any means.

At my club in Washington, we always shoot for "fun" as well. Mostly head to head speed shoots, and games with our rifles. But since I live in Nevada now, I don't shoot there as often as I would like. I miss that head to head competition, so I'm relegated to these online shoots. Those that want to join in, are more than welcome to do so. I'd love to see some of the rifles here and how competitive they are. I often hear about them. However, It would be nice to see them in action as well. This is the perfect oportunity.

Kinda wish my printer worked, but not even savvy enough to find how to download the target if I find somebody with a good printer. Looks like fun.

Mentioning the apes fingering the trigger. They have to be able to use that Kidd to the fullest potential or else be at the bottom of the score sheet.

Best of luck to you all, this ape won't be competing.
Construction took out our range road bridge 2 weeks ago.

That would suck. If my range road got fu cked up, I'd probably be out there personally trying to fix it. Even if I had to use a shovel and a wheel barrow!! Ha ha..



There you go. That makes it easy. Good luck gunzo, if you can get the target printed up. Have a buddy or someone print it up for you. Like certifiable said, some of those circles are smaller than you think, once you get the target in hand. It's a fun shoot. I shot one a couple days ago with my CZ 457, before I glass bedded it. It was kind of all over the place. I did not do very well. Targets like these are harder to shoot for score than a big black bullseye. That CZ 457 American that I put off to the side for a small bit, is getting looked at now though:

Glass bedding:




Shooting a little better now:



When diagnosing it, it preferred a shim in between the barrel and the stock, right under the chamber area:


With the shim/business card in place, it was shooting like this:




So I duplicated the shim, with epoxy in that area. This also beefs up and strengthens the stock, so even though the rifle has plastic pillars, they will never crush. The recoil lug is in the rear of the action of this model, so a pad just forward of the receiver seemed like the most logical fix. Others may go about it in a different manner, but this fix is pretty quick and easy: About an hours worth of work, from start to finish, which also includes cleanup.

I wish I could have shot more yesterday, but they were having a CCW class, and all the other spots were taken up with people, so they asked if they could shoot where I was set up at. I said sure.

So, I sat there and watched them shoot the CCW targets. When they were done, I shot a couple more targets, and went home because the damn wind had picked up like crazy!! Gusts up to 24 mph, so I called it quits..

Now, even though this CZ is shooting better, it doesn't shoot as well as my 10/22 with the Kidd barrel. The score I shoot will not be nearly as good.

Hopefully you get a target printed up, and join in. I was in the lead for a few days, but one guy shot a 93 yesterday. He did it with a Bergara B14. A lot of the other high scores were shot with Vudoo's, of course..

I don't think I'll submit another target over on day at the range, but that may change. On a better day with less wind, I may be able to beat my original score with the 10/22. I'll also staple up a piece of cardboard on the crappy plastic backer board, so my target sits flat, that way the bullet does not tear the paper as easily!!! Just a suggestion, to anyone that shoots this event.

I have a funny story, I probably already told you about it. We were shooting a KYL shoot, and one of my old Airborne Ranger buddies was having an issue with his old rifle. I told him, why don't you just shoot my 10/22. He did, and proceeded to kick all of our azzes with it. He's 80 years old, but still pretty damn spry, and a hell of a good shot. The rifle was dialed in with the ammo it likes, and he could not miss!!!

Then what really bothered us was when he ran out of the box of ammo I gave him (Eley Target), he asked if he could use some of his Remington golden bullets in it. I reluctantly said yes. I dialed up about 10 clicks on the scope, because I knew that ammo was hotter than the subsonic target ammo. He continued to kick our azz with that Kidd barreled 10/22, with that zero on the scope!! He was even tagging the 1/4" targets. Everyone told me to leave that rifle at home next time. ha ha...

That's when he asked If I knew they made a new left handed competition model, and asked if I knew how much they wanted for one. I told him $700.00, because I had just looked at one a few days prior. He said, he'd give me $700 for my 10/22, so I could go and buy the left handed one. I said hell NO, its NOT for sale!!! Ha ha..

Thank you sir.

Looks like fun BSA - but I’ll have to shoot it after next weekend (yea I know it’ll be done by then but it’ll be fun anyway!!) as I’m in Tennessee delivering two custom Cricket rifles to my great nephew (6) and niece (4).

Also looks very difficult and great shooting!!

PennDog

Cool PennDog. I knew I could count on you. You have some sweet rifles. I'm sure you will do well. Good luck buddy.

If you send your pictures of target, rifle, and range to the link I provided, Mr. Revolver guy will post the score. It is fun, and definitely a challenge. The new leader really hammered those bullets into those small circles. My hat goes off to that guy!!!! He goes by the name Twenty Two. Seems fitting doesn't it? One thing I noticed about how he shoots, is he's pretty aggressive with that bolt on that B14 Bergara, while a lot of those other guys baby the bullet while loading it into the chamber. I realize that on these 22lr's, shaving lead can be a concern, when it comes to precision. Then you have others, like Eli, shooting the first shot from the mag into a sighter because they believe that one loaded by hand may produce a flier. I just load them in and shoot them. Like someone else said, it's all for fun anyway.

For those interested, this is a fun and challenging shoot. In the spirit of St. Pattys day, I figured I'd post this one up. I've been working with this new rifle a little bit. Got the bedding done, and it's shooting much more consistently now. Here's the rifle (CZ 457 American) in action:


Been shooting this one from a bipod lately.


I'm really liking this rifle. The action is buttery smooth, and it loads bullets into the chamber almost effortlessly. The trigger is pretty nice too. I think the more I shoot it, the more I like it.

I decided to go with some older Aguila that is labeled "Eley prime". I don't know if that makes any difference, but it seems to shoot well in this rifle. That is the main thing:

That 10 shot group was shot on the 9th, not yesterday, but shows what it can do with that ammo.

Here's the challenge target:

I am not going to submit this target to Eli, as my 10/22 target is much better. This is more or less to show how the new CZ is shooting.

There were definitely some misses there, but all in all, I'm pretty happy with the performance of the rifle. As I shoot it, I am reminded that it is a hunting rifle, and that is the type of accuracy I expect out of it. Both my new to me Winchester 52 sporter, and my new to me Winchester 320 sporter shoot better than this CZ, but the CZ is smoother and just as much fun to shoot. I really have no complaints with this new rifle. Going into it, I knew it would not shoot as well as my Savage MKII, but that is a heavy barrel target rifle. This CZ is well suited for what it was designed for: Varmint/vermin and small game hunting.

I don't know if any of you are intending to do this shoot, but Eli is accepting target pics until the last day of this month. Shoot it just for fun, or send your pictures in to the link I provided. Posts some pics here too!! There has been a lot of participation on Youtube, which is cool to see. Some of the better shooters there, came out and shot it. I kept hoping to see more 10/22's, but it appears it's a little harder than it looks. I ended up with a score of 79, with my Kidd barreled 10/22, after Eli judged the target. Good luck to those that are going to shoot this challenge!!! Like Cert said, some of those bastids are small!!! I thought this would be a fun one as well, because it's not at all like shooting for groups, or bullseye shooting. Sometimes moving from one small target to the next can be a little more challenging, as some of you already know. I was also hoping for a little more interest from guys that shoot USBR and the like. Bearcat, where are you? Not a call out, just some good clean fun...

Hopefully you guys at least ate some good corned beef and cabbage today. No green eggs and ham!!

I tried the shoot today, I couldn't get above 35 points with the ammo I tried. Aquila Super Extra SV did the best, CCI SV was second, and Norma Match was totally abysmal. Biggest issue I had is my reticle completely covers the dot at 50 yds. I might throw one of my FFP scopes on it and see what I can do with a thinner reticle.

Seems like a great idea. I watch those guys in YouTube, using those scope cams, and the reticles with the little dot in the center looks like it would be way better than what I use too!!! I tried my new Winchester model 320 a couple days ago, and didn’t do well at all with the 3-9x40 scope, that it wears. The AR scopes that I use aren’t as bad because of the higher magnification. Those dang Arkens are looking better, every time I see one!!

I'm running a .1 Mil scope, and tried to adjust it so that if I put the green dot in the upper right corner of the Mil-Dot reticle it would work. Probably if I had a 1/8 Moa scope with a target dot it would work better. However, those green dots are tiny.

The Leupold diamond reticle looks interesting for this contest.

Taylorce1, what kind of rifle were you using? I’m surprised no one else here has posted a target. Glad to hear you got out and gave it a try. I scored on some more old Federal Gold Medal Match ammo (2 bricks), some Lapua Master and Multi Match, old SK Standard plus, and some SK High velocity match, that I will be trying out. The weather is starting to get better, more guys should get out and shoot this. It’s a fun one.

BSA… I know this is going to be a big letdown but here it is…

A few of us had went up for a weekend of relaxing and shooting and I brought several of the targets along to play with.

I never ended up shooting the challenge with my KIDD and only shot it twice with the vudoo. Once with SK rifle match which did not go well and I don’t even remember the score.

I then shot some fouler rounds with Midas + and proceeded to shoot a 75. I was actually frustrated with that as I was hoping for better but man some of those shots just had a mind of their own… or maybe it was just those targets are damn small!

Anyway the kicker is I pulled my target and set it on my bench for the evening to retire to the fire with a whisky. The next morning a buddy had got up early and cleaned up all the boxes and paper under the benches and tossed it all on the coals to burn…

Odd as I had set my target under my shooting bags but he was in clean up mode I guess.. I didn’t want to give him too hard of a time about it

Crappy excise for no pics and I know we all like pics but there it is

I will admit that was a TOUGH shoot and I would still like to shoot it again when time permits

I’ll hang a vudoo pic but I mounted an Arken 6x24 which has a small dot center reticle. Lot of fuss about those scopes so I grabbed one while Doug had a good sale on them. Big heavy and ugly but it did perform well!

I didn’t take many pics at all but here was the disappointing clean up pic from Sunday morning

I appreciate the effort man. I’ve been eyeballing the Arken scopes too. That really small dot in the center of the reticle looks like just the ticket. A 75 really isn’t bad, for what it is. As you know, everything has to be dialed in pretty good for those targets. Excellent ammo, optics and rifle, and in my case, luck. Ha ha. I’ll shoot it again, since I stumbled into some more great ammo. I’m pretty excited that I found more FGMM!! The old stuff too, like what I had. I’ll shoot in some winds, as that doesn’t bother me much, but anything more than about 10mph, and you might as well hang it up for the day. If you shoot this again, let me know. Thanks!!

Unfortunately my targets were also in the stack. I shot one with the KIDD, and one with the vudoo. Vudoo was better, but the wind was brutal. Here’s the only relevant picture I took.

Here’s the vudoo I shot with…this one has a bartlein barrel and sits in a foundation stock. I mounted an Arken 6x24.

Sweet rifles guys. Thanks for sharing. Too bad your targets ended up in the fire. I know how that kind of stuff goes though. I'll bet you guys had a great weekend though. I'm just returning from Cali (Plumas county) today. I hit up a couple of my favorite spots, in search of some ammo, and this is what I was talking about earlier:


Look at all that old ammo!!! ha ha. I've never shot the Master or Multi Match before. That old SK is the standard plus too, in the old packaging. That Federal Gold Medal Match is still in the plastic, just like the other brick I found about 7 months ago:

Scored big time on that schidt, because I know how it shoots!!!!

Here are some rifles that were hanging on the rack, at the gunshop you guys know about too:


I'm glad you guys shot the challenge though!! I may try some of my new ammo out tomorrow.

@bsa1917hunter,

I shot it with a Bergara BMR, you commented on a post I did in the Rimfire Scope topic. You asked me to try it, so I did. The results were about as I expected with the ammunition I have. I was hoping it liked the Norma match, but it didn't.

Taylor..I am a HUGE fan of the Norma tac and tac match. Back a while it was relatively obscure and you could find very good deals on both varieties.

Midway threw tac match on sale for 400/5000 some time ago and it was a no brainer to murder the credit card

Unfortunately my vudoos do not care for it but the Annie’s seem to and so do enough other rimfires to make it worthwhile

Too bad there seem to be no more sales/deals on those brands anymore

Ah, ok. That is right. Man those Bergara's are performing well!! As you have said, it really boils down to a good scope, and the right ammo. I don't consider my scopes to be the "best", as they are far from it. They are basically discontinued AR scopes. I run the AR 556 4.5-14x42 and AR 7.62 4.5-14x42. They are second focal plane scopes, which I prefer for all types of shooting and hunting. The reticle is great for most types of shooting, but with this little dot target, it is like your scopes. The reticle is too thick for a 1/4" dot. The clarity is fine, but it's hard to pin point the hold. I like the idea of that Arken, that was mentioned, with the small center dot. Something with some good magnification too. Man, if you find the right ammo and scope, I'll bet you will do well. Certifiable has told me that he thinks I should buy a Vudoo, but those B14's are also doing quite well in this challenge. I also understand that finding the right ammo is a PITA too. Wondering if anyone with a Tikka T1x would shoot this challenge? I don't see any listed on the leader board at the Day at the range site.

On the TAC 22. I got a horrible lot of it last year. That stuff shoots like crap in all of my rifles. When it's cold outside, it's even worse. I can see it in flight, and it's arcing to the target. Also, any ammo that shoots "fliers", is not going to work in this shoot. Some of the Wolf match Extra ammo I have is like that too. It will shoot fliers on a random basis, in all of my rifles. That's alright for practice, but not when it counts. As a lot of you guys know already.

Bsa that’s what I was experiencing with my lot of SK rifle match last weekend. It was lights out for 6-7-8 shots, just laying them in there. Then all the sudden it was WTF!?!? I KNOW I had that held steady but [bleep] me

That multi match Lapua is cool stuff man I’ve never seen it before.

Hopefully it works some magic for you👍🏼

I’ve got a small bit of that master L and it seems to shoot great.

I almost hate having small lots of obscure ammo like that tho because it will dazzle in a rifle but you know you’re never going to have it again!

I hear that. That kind of stuff pizzes me off!!! You know when you are holding steady, you know it wasn't the wind, and you know your rifle is a tack driver with other ammo, and then it puts one in left field. That's why I do a lot of ammo testing. I had a bad lot of SK standard plus about 3 years ago. Luckily I didn't buy a bunch of it. The funny thing was some of the other lots, where so damn accurate and dependable. If you cull those lot's, you'll see it wasn't you.

LOL!!!! I know. Damned if you do, and damned if you don't. Yeah, that Master is strange too, because in my research, I saw the "L", and the "M". The "L" being a slightly larger diameter stuff, and the "M" is the slightly under diameter. The Master stuff I found doesn't say what it is, so I'm thinking it's older??? It was cool to find these. They are all wrapped in plastic, cellophane from the factory (I believe). I kind of hate to shoot it. It will probably end up being like that damn SK Match Gold I had a while back.


You remember that stuff^^^ The lube was all dried up, but it still shot lights out.


Another one that shot damn good was the Eley club Xtra:


10 shot group^^, shot at 50 yards with my iron sight Savage MK2 FVT!!! Damn I already miss that one, and that ammo.. ha ha.

And that ammo with the 10/22 clone:


Sometimes I wonder if the older rimfire ammo is better!!! One thing I do know is I don't want to pay $25-$30.00/box of 50 for a box of 22lr ammo.

Alright, the weather is not really cooperating, but at least it was not snowing and hailing and raining today!!!

I felt the need to take my new to me Winchester model 52 sporter out and shoot this challenge. I was surprised, but I had to use my Federal Gold Medal Match 900B ammo that I bought last week. That's about the best ammo I have right now. This lot was made in 1995, so I think it's actually older than this 52 repro:




The wind was gusting pretty good, the whole time I was there, but thankfully no rain and sleet!!! It started hailing after I left, so it was great timing to leave the range.

Final target and score:


This is one of my new to me rifles. I'm pretty happy with how it's shooting. I was trying to get a higher score than I did with my new CZ, and luckily it put them in there.

This thread is not meant to be a call out of any kind, it is only meant to be a fun way to get out and practice. See how our rifles do, and post up a target if you want.

As of right now, I think I've shot 4 different rifles on this target/challenge. I don't believe I posted my new to me Winchester 320 target, as that one was horrible. Although, that one is not equipped with a good scope for this challenge. I was seriously thinking about going to the LGS and buying a set of high rings for it, so I could throw a higher powered scope on it. But I know since it's only a sporter, it's not really going to do much better than the CZ and Winchester 52 sporter. So with that being said, i think I will draw the line and keep the little 3-9x40 on the Win 320...

This 52 sporter shoots Federal Automatch like this:


But you don't want to see the challenge target. It was pretty pathetic.. Proof that shooting groups is much easier than shooting at multiple small targets.

Eli has a new challenge up on the Day At The Range website with some little easter eggs on it. I'm trying to get it to print and hope to shoot it this weekend if the wind will settle down...

Thanks buddy. It's nice to see some of you guys may shoot these challenges. Did you happen to try the st. Patrick's day challenge?

I shot the little easter eggs yesterday, but have not submitted the target yet, because it's the original target that he sent out. It's smaller than the one he shot in his video. I also ran out of ink a while back, so I had to print it in black and white!! Those damn eggs are hard to see in b&w. I had to have a target at the bench with me, so I didn't screw up and accidentally shoot a flower.

I don't know if I want to start a new thread on this challenge here, as I don't know if guys are interested in these fun shoots??? I'll share my results with you though:

Rifle: Ruger 10/22 that I put together. Have $474.00 into it (sans the scope):



Target, as it was stapled to the backer board at the 50 yard rimfire range:



Scored target, with info on it:

Missed that one little tiny bastid in the center. That one is like threading a needle. Especially on the small target I printed out. As you can see, the rifle is pretty dialed in. Didn't measure the 5 shot group, but imagine it's in the .2's..

Let's Zoom in on the target, to make sure I didn't hit 2 eggs with one shot:

That target may actually score a 16, since I grazed the bigger egg, next to the small one I missed. As per Eli's rules, I believe that is a deduction of 2 points. No point for the big egg that I hit clean, and subtract 1 point for hitting it with a second shot!!! Dang.. I always try to keep this schidt honest. Afterall, that is what it should be about. Keeping it honest, and having fun at the range!!!!!

These are fun shoots. One of the reasons I post them is because guys complain about shooting groups. This is a little different, as you actually have to hit what you are aiming at. Eli puts out some great challenges. I've been bugging him about starting some centerfire shoots as well. He was talking about maybe doing some sort of shoot with his AR10. Now, that would be cool..
