January Online Match

[alacran]

NDduckhunter must be out duck hunting. Hope he is having better luck with that than Dennis had trying to reach him.
Our match for January comes from My Targets.com. It is target 2pdf.

The rules are Red dot scores an X, the black ring scores a 10, the next ring scores a 9, and the last ring scores an 8. Half a ball has to cut the red ring line to score the higher number.
Five shots standing unsupported at 25 yards, or any position including bench at 50 yards.

[Dennis Daigger]

Shot a new rifle today and called the far right shot. Will try again.

[alacran]

Good shooting Dennis. A 46 it is. Glad you got out and shot.

[WVrazd]

Wasn't sure how to score, so you decide.

[WVrazd]

I guess a 48 and a 49, sorry didn't read close enough and your instructions were clear.

[alacran]

Good shooting WVrazd! You are correct a 48 and a 49. Hopefully we will see more good scores.

[Dennis Daigger]

1 point improvement. Sunny wx in the forecast so hope to try again.

[Dennis Daigger]

I should’ve added that WV’s great shooting is going to be hard to beat.

[alacran]

That is still good shooting Dennis. Was one of the Xs your first shot?

[Dennis Daigger]

First two shots were the X’s. Didn’t exactly create calm composure for the following three.

Taylor and I got out to shoot this month's postal match and our target stand was under snow, somewhere? We need to take out a sheet of 1/4" plywood, to stick in the snow for a backboard.
On top of that, my new knee re-attachment (1 1/2 months post op) was giving me fits, breaking through the snow crust and sinking to the knee.
Maybe next warm period. It was +1 today, but forecast to get cold again.

That's why I asked, when your first shot is an X there is only two ways to go, more Xs, not likely offhand, or down. Two Xs in a row, adrenalin is now a factor. Good shooting.

[Dennis Daigger]

Oops, 25 yds offhand.
Stuck at 47. I didn’t spot my shots this time but a shot in the white area of the target is quite visible so knew the first three shots were 10’s.

The rifle is a Kibler Hawken and is the most shootable rifle I’ve ever owned.



Dennis

[Daryl]

Solid 47, Dennis. Good shooting.

[okawbow]

Got out on a cold morning to try out the little .30 caliber mountain rifle I recently converted to percussion. The L&R flintlock never worked right and was always un dependable and slow. It still needs some work however, as it doesn’t work well with C&C caps and fails to go off or hangfires sometimes. I managed to shoot 2 targets at 25 yards offhand before the moosemilk froze.

[Daryl]

That 49 looks great!

[okawbow]

That 49 looks great!

I got a little over confident after the first 4 went into the black. I rushed the shot , thinking I’d put the next one with the others. That’s what happens when you peek, and don’t follow through. Even with percussion. I believe this little rifle would put them all in one hole if I could just hold still.

[Tony N]

 Very nice target indeed!

LOL - most rifles will, at least all of mine will, unless I am shooting offhand, that is.

[alacran]

Good shooting Okawbow. Good looking 49. WVrazd's 49 is still in the lead since he has an overall tighter group.

[Dennis Daigger]

Darn. Still stuck at 47. I printed 5 targets when it was posted so maybe one more go.

[Dphariss]

Just found out I am out of magenta toner but will try it anyhow.
Danged stuff is expensive.
Cheap stuff is probably from someplace I try not to buy from.

[foresterdj]

I missed a good weather chance yesterday when it was 10 above. Right now -25 with wind chill at -51, NWS says the cold might last into early February.

I know, I am just a pansy. Real men would just throw on another coat and head out.

[Dphariss]

I am people have heard the term “can’t stand success”
I completely blew #5 why? Dunno.. I thought it might be worse.
And yeah I am completely out of magenta toner. PITA No red lines. 
This was going to be my sighter target but it started out good so….

[Daryl]

IT happens, Dan. Nice 4 shots. Hopefully Taylor and I can get out next week.
It's supposed to warm up again.
