Kermit, measure is from x-center to center of ball hole. That keeps all calibers equal. There are x-center plastic cards available from the NMLRA that have all common calibers. Just place card uder hole and measure with calipers to x-center. Some clubs have plugs that fit in the caliber hole that allready have a center point on them. Take measurement from that to x-center. Simple!

So is the pyramid of 2" x4"s unattached to the table to allow shooters to adjust?

That is correct. You can slide it back and forth to align the proper shooting height for yourself as well as for left or right hand shooters.

Thanks, Mike. I'm headed for their site now to see if I can locate one. Simple tools are great!

Kermit,
Look for "scoring rings" and if you don't find them let me know. I will be glad to send you one.

  only place I know that sells them is friendship.. most guys like their bullets to go low dead a 6 oclock so it keeps them out of your view. to the one gentleman that shoots point of impact  I have seen guys do this and just put a same colored piece of paper under the hole. I used to shoot the center of white circle  then put piece of white under the hole ;saw guys shoot the middle of a black square and put black piece under neath it. what screws you is 30 yards you can see to good and you end up shooting  the aiming point or you hole gets to big and you start getting a not sharp sighting  image do to all the hole edges .

Mark, is this "scoring overlay" what you're talking about?

Hey  everybody

Well, once I finally get a chance to get on. I see that a lot of discussion is happening some really good questions. Looks like Mike and Mark did a good job of answering most of them. Sky chief ask a question about being able to change the aiming point if you hit it. There is no rule that we keep that from happening. I just simply try to keep my rifle, shooting far enough off of POA that I don't have to change it.

Kermit the scoring ring that you found on the MNLRA website is the one that we use. I usually buy them three or four to time, just as a side note a little thing that makes it easier to score. This method is to encourage your shooters to put a thin piece of cardboard, behind their target. This causes the ball to cut a much cleaner hole and makes it much easier for the individual doing the scoring. I usually cut the cardboard down to where she just slightly bigger than the target and then move it around so that the ball will pass through a solid point of the cardboard. If I get where I think it ought to go. I have found that the cardboard, it comes off of a cereal box does not work too bad my favorite cardboard, has been what is on the back of a legal pad. It's a little bit thicker, but it doesn't much nicer job. I have seen a lot of cardboard. It had stuff written on it, such as, Miller light, Budweiser, I don't know where they're getting and stuff.

Keep the good questions coming, guys. I'm going to skip to another post and put up some results. I'll talk to you later.

Kermit,
That's the animal. Fits most of the popular calibers.

The shoot. Results are as follows. Keep in mind that the Charlie, Mitch & Alan all had rifle troubles, so their score really doesn't reflect the way they shot. I used my Excel workbook for the first time and it performed really well in keeping the score. But here's the results, such as they are.

1   Bill D   3.628   
2   Dave C   4.758   
3   Mike Mi   5.610   
4   Mark H   5.660   
5   Ron B   6.214   
6   Randy G   6.644   
7   Jerry B   7.505   
8   Steve H   7.562   
9   Charlie Umstead   7.671   
10   Joe C   7.744   
11   Byrge   7.756   
12   Bo C   7.762   
13   Tim S   8.174   
14   Jim F   8.619   
15   Carl K   9.001   
16   Tony N   10.567   
17   Mitch W / scratched   14.199   
18   Charlie W / scratched   14.457   
19   A W C / scratched   15.000   

It was really good to see some new faces shooting even had a Warner to stop by just to see what it was all about. From what they said I would look to see them back so until next time, be safe.

As I'm building my own table shoot bench, what angle are the legs at? Are 2x4s cut at the angle? Thanks

The angle you're looking for just 15° do you have a booklet. If not, I will email you the instructions to build your table shoot "Table" as we do not use the bench. Just let me know if you need them and I'll email them to you.

Colton,
If you cut the 2x4's diagonally from corner to corner they work  just fine. The length of the legs, as drawn, work with that cut.

 your group looks a lot like ours a lot of GREY BACKS in there where are the youngens? it's hard to get them going. my own grand kids only one of the bunch likes to go with me hunting or out to the range and he is away to school now, a lot of my time is spent alone at the range trying to keep these old eyes sharp. we used to do a blanket shoot where we would all put a prize on the blanket, one fellow misunderstood about the prize or the value of the prize, he set his wife on the blanket and although he tried his best to be last to pick a prize he still had to take her home

I would interested in a copy of the instructions to build one of these tables as well. Where can I get such a thing?

This looks like a lot of fun, wondering where I might find out if/where there is a shoot in my area?

Well it's about two weeks out May 17th we will be having another table shoot at the AW Coon farm. If you need any directions. Please get a hold of me we been having a lot of fun and drawing a broadband of shooters, there will be more tables on the line this time. Things should go a little more quickly. Although we wouldn't want to go too fast and spoil all the Fellowship. Hope to see you all there, we will be paying out the top three in each relay and the top three in the overall aggregate. Hoping to see if you table prizes show up. But it any rate, it will be fun. See you there.

You get here and we'll have something for you to shoot. We'll even "adjust" the sights for you.
