Day At The Range ST. Patrick's day Challenge - 03/07/24
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...
