This will be a silhouette match. If you are reasonably young and healthy, shoot 5 shots from 50 yards offhand. Any shot with a half ball or better on the ram scores 10 points. Tie breaker is the closest shot to the eye. Post up to 5 targets.

Shooters age 65 or over or with health problems can shoot from any position as long as the firearm is not rested from 50 yards. Sitting, prone, or leaning against something is ok, but the gun can only be supported by the hands.

Shooters age 80 and over can shoot at 25 yards. Same rules as above.

Congratulations on the September match!
I like this target. Just printed one out. I'll have copies made for the other 4. That target will eat a lot of toner.

Congrats, Okawbow, and I Do like this target!

Congratulations Okawbow! This looks like another difficult, but fun target!
I’m printing some out now

So it is 5 shots at one ram target, not one shot at five different targets, correct?

Mike, that’s how I understand it

Five shots at each target, up to five entries. Good luck!

Looks/sounds very interesting. Home from the lake and 'rare-in' to shoot it.

Target to be printed on 8.5" x 11" paper, right?

okawbow · « **Reply #9 on:** October 02, 2024, 02:07:40 AM »

Standard printer paper.

Wind finally dropped off.
50 yards standing. The shot calls I made were not this good

. Someone was smiling on me. 54 Kibler Colonial. That shoots better than this BTW.
Plus I was using a brass suppository case (X2) found on the range as a charger since I left my adjustable measure at home and the two I had were too big for double and not enough for full… Like I said I was being smiled upon.

Nice shooting! The standard is set. Now, who can get closest to the eye?

Daryl · « **Reply #14 on:** October 04, 2024, 08:33:35 PM »

Cast up some balls for my match rifle. I figured same deal likely offhand, but we'll see how the back holds up. Damaged it unloading the truck from our summer at the lake.
Still need to take the boat apart. We're waiting for it to stop raining. I figure, if Providence smiles on me, I might do as well as Dan did.(but I doubt it) $:-\$

You should have heard my shot calls for this target. Not gonna tell you how many misses I called and they ALL went the the black. Some days you just can’t make a mistake I guess.

I always smile quietly to myself when I fire a shot on the trail that should have missed, but hits the steel anyway. I think it speaks loudly that your form is excellent, and takes care of those sighting/firing timing mistakes.

Daryl · « **Reply #17 on:** October 05, 2024, 05:24:51 AM »

I call my shots by when my eyes close?

D. Taylor Sapergia · « **Reply #18 on:** October 05, 2024, 10:21:31 PM »

You have to close your eyes when you shoot, Daryl, to keep from losing your retinas in the dirt when you touch off that cannon "Match Rifle".

alacran · « **Reply #19 on:** October 06, 2024, 01:02:25 AM »

You made my day Taylor LOL!

What? You are not supposed to close your eyes and pull your head back from the fire in the pan? Dang!

Daryl · « **Reply #21 on:** October 06, 2024, 08:28:28 PM »

That's exactly how I get my best accuracy Dan, and of course, my brother makes another accurate point.

Daryl · « **Reply #22 on:** October 07, 2024, 01:50:33 AM »

Well, well. Hope this gives you guys incentive to get out and shoot this month's postal match.
Like I haven't shot for a year. Do have an injured rotator cuff, but that's no excuse for this dismal display.
.682" ball, 113gr. 2F Schutzen
10 ounce denim at .021"
sitting, shot off the hands
I score it a 30/50

okawbow · « **Reply #23 on:** October 07, 2024, 02:58:58 AM »

Good group! Just move it to the left a little?

Daryl · « **Reply #24 on:** October 07, 2024, 04:00:46 AM »

Oh, OK.

I'll use the .50 next attempt. V and post might be better on that target.
The .69's sights are just too close to the eyeballs now. I'll stick with that. LOL
