May ALR social distancing beef shoot
« on: April 30, 2020, 07:04:45 PM »
Looks like I won last month's shoot, so it's my turn to pick and judge this month's shoot.
This month's shoot is inspired by the beef shoot in Fess Parker's Davy Crockett (one of my favourites)

For this month you'll need a piece of 8 1/2" ×11" paper, ruler, scissors, pen, a soup can, and a target backer of your choice.
Make an X corner to corner on your paper and cut out one of the narrow triangles.
Tape/staple this to a target backer of your choice. Do your best to center a soup can on the X, and trace around it.  The goal is to put your shots in the notch without cutting the white paper.
The target is scored as marked, and the match will be 5 offhand shots at 25 yards.
I'll do the half ball rule on it. Wherever 1/2 or more of your ball is, that's how you'll score. Possible max score is 50, and low score is -50.

Match is open till May 31st. Winner of the match will receive a package of beef jerky in the mail.
 Have fun with it guys. Please mark your targets with score, date, and load/gun info. One attempt please, and even if you don't score well, please post your target.

Good luck everyone.  Aim small, miss small....

Nice shooting on the last match Justin.  You shoot that little .45 cal rifle very well.

And I like this contest.  You should probably give us a diameter of the circle...there's lots of soup cans of different sizes, from single serving to 1 gallon.  I'm in in any event.

I tried a similar target in our club’s social distancing shoot and did awful. Hopefully I used up all my bad shots.

Thank you Taylor.
I've had that rifle for 15 years now. I have it pretty well figured out. Too bad it isn't one I built.
I used a 284 ml chicken noodle soup can. It's right at 2 5/8" diameter.

That's perfect.  Thanks for the reply.  Good luck, everyone, though I doubt luck has anything to do with this.

Absolutely.  If you have a mobility/health issue please take whatever steps you need to shoot.

It's a 2 5/8" can Justin. Nobody makes 284 ml soup cans. Not even Canadians.

That may have been a cross measurement metric joke...

I think about a 9 1/2 to 10oz can would be about right - of course 2 5/8" would be close to perfect.

This I copied from Justin's initial post.
