Happy holidays!

I'll be sure to do that. I'll most likely be passing thru there next spring or summer on my way to Oregon/Washington and maybe Canada.

Oh yes, I think a pit stop in Sacramento at a nice indoor range would be a great option.

I got out today for an early start on this month's match.

25y Rifle Bench - 128

I tried everything to get this target to print as it appears on the screen but it was a no go. I'm sure the circles are the right size just not spread out.

50y Rifle - 108

[d0wnShifT]

Thanks for keeping this going. I'm going to make time to shoot this month..

[Mac Attack]

I have always wanted to participate in an online match. Question, for rifle 25 and 50 yard targets. Is this shooting from a supported position I.e. bench, prone with sling or offhand? Also, can I shoot in multiple categories?

[Lazyme]

The rifle is shot however you want. I believe most of us shoot from bags or some sort of stabilizer. Every now & then someone shoots prone or something a little more challenging.

Shoot all the categories you can...if you have the time.

If you have not done so please read the first post in this thread. All the rules are spelled out there. PM me if you have questions, happy to help.

50-yard scoped: 155

Pretty cool this morning (12/14) with temps in the high 30's. Ran out of 50-yard irons targets and didn't get around to printing the 25-yard irons. Switched to CCI Standard Velocity today instead of the usual SK Magazine for the 50-yard scoped.

Nice shooting! I'm sure it was the guy behind the trigger but those 452 UL's sure can shoot.

Thanks Cujo. Yep this UL is a keeper!
They guy behind the trigger is just going along for the ride.

Not too bad yourself.
I like CCI SV - Gander Mtn had a deal recently and I kick myself for not jumping on it.

[sando]

Here's some target from today's trip to the range. Not my best effort ever but still a good time...
15y Offhand, Open Sights - 90


15y Rest, Open Sights - 98


25y Offhand, Open Sights - 71

That miss hurts!

[Lazyme]

Very nice! I am jealous of your range time. Getting dark @ 5:00 is getting in the way of my shooting.

[10xhobby]

Nice shooting sando.

It's getting late in the month, I need to get something posted soon. Lazyme will post his targets on New Years Eve haha

[sando]

Thanks guys.
It's really cruel to walk up and see that hole outside the black....argghh!!!

I had that feeling last month, after studying targets I realized the misplaced shot was from the target above...completely missed the paper.

Now, where did I put my paper shredder...

[10xhobby]

I'm going to the Gun Range today after 4:00 any one want to go ???

[10xhobby]

[sando]

Darn good! And just in time too.
Is that a scoring gauge?

[covingtonhouse]

Haven't been shooting the match lately, but a BIG thanks to Izzy for stepping up when dwh100 stepped out. Happy New Year, and good luck in the future. Also a big thanks to USMCCHET and peterrabbits for continuing the tradition. I look forward to some free time to get to the range and start shooting the matches again.

Thank you and yes it is. I liked Cujo's idea & ordered one of my own. Helps a lot with those close calls.

[10xhobby]

Hey guys, I think everyone did a great job on shooting the matches this year. I have seen a big improvement in everyone's shooting scores compared to the beginning of the year, even my own. I think that these matches are such a great tool to improve your own skills just in the fact that now when you go to the range you actually have a purpose and a goal to shoot your best. I would like to give all of you a round of applause, and thanks for letting me me be a part of the learning experience.

[Lazyme]

It has been a fun year. Seeing shooters different skill sets with all kinds of different firearms has been a real learning experience. Many thanks to those who take the time to share every month.

Getting to know my firearms and trying sooooo many types of ammo has been frustrating and fun at the same time. Every time I get close to my target after shooting is exciting, good or bad.

Everyone have a safe new year and a special thanks to Izzy, have fun traveling and don't forget to stop in and say hi if you ever come this way!

[10xhobby]

Thanks for the kind words. All firearms, pistol or rifle take time and effort to learn how to shoot well. One of the key things that I have found is to get very comfortable with a certain gun and stick with it, don't keep changing the gun thinking something always wrong with the gun, learn it's personality and what it takes to shoot well. I have been shooting my Browning Buckmark for about 25 years and have put 1000's of round through it, I know ever little quirk about it, and it does make a difference. Rifle on the other hand is a new chapter for me since this is my first year of ever shooting a rifle seriously. So I look forward to the new challenge. Keep up the good work.

[usmcchet9296]

Happy New Year to all and here is our first Rimfire match of 2014

Now for the January Match:

Rules:

Following are the classes of Targets.

Pistol: 15 and 25yd . Offhand and bench rest scored separately. Iron sights, red dot or non-magnifed scope. One winner for 15 yd and 25 yd each offhand and bench rest.

Rifle-Iron Sights: 25yd, 50yd and 100yd Aperture Sights only. This class of shooting is determined by the type of rear sight on the rifle. Any type front sight is allowed as long as there is no magnification.

Rifle Iron Sights: 25yd, 50yd and 100yd Open Rear Sight only. This class of shooting is determined by the type of rear sight on the rifle. Open rear sight of the Buckhorn (notched) or similar type only. Any type of front sight is allowed as long as there is no magnification.

Rifle Scoped: 50yd and 100yd (25yd scoped at the Coordinators discretion). No limit on magnification.

This is an online match. Print all targets at 100%. Colored targets may be printed in grayscale to save on color ink, shoot where and when you want. Annotate on the target the Distance, Score and type of sights used (ie. Scope, Aperature, Open, Red Dot). Take a picture of your target(s) and post in this thread for bragging rights!! Flickr.com and Photobucket.com are two websites where you can host you target pictures and link to your post. Match runs from the 1st day of the month until the last day. Shoot as many targets as you want and post up to two targets for each target class.

Note: If the shot is touching the line, it is scored on the higher number.

I encourage meeting up with other match shooters. Any rimfire firearm is eligible. Shooting from a benchrest, prone, sitting, standing, hood of your car, leaning against a tree is acceptable. Using a rest in which the Rifle/Pistol can be locked down is verboten (ie. can't do that).

Bonus Points

Here is how it will work. This is only on targets that have multiple shots on one target We shoot the targets as normal and add up the scores like normal. The twist is we shoot for groups as well. For example, if we are shooting 5 shots on each target. If none of the 5 bullet holes are touching you get no bonus points. If two are touching you get 2 bonus points. If three are touching you get 3 bonus points on up to 5 bonus points for each target.

(Clarification on this rule. The number of shots touching determines the bonus points. There are no additional points for a second group of touching shots. Example: In a five shot group if three shots touch that's 3 bonus points. If the two remaining shots are touching but not touching the 3 shot group there are NO additional points. If two shots are touching and a second group of two shots are touching there are only TWO bonus points)

Finally for any questions just send a PM to the Match Co-ordinator for this month and he/she will get right back to you. Also feel free to send a PM with feedback/complaints/errors. Comments about the matches that are posted within the Match Thread will not be responded to, use PM only. Limit posts in the Match Thread to Target Posts and kudos to other shooters. These matches are based on “Gentlemen's/Ladie's Honor” so go shoot and have fun.

Make sure for each target indicate your total score and if not already indicated on the target note the distance shot and what type of sights. Ex: Score =xxx, Open or Aperture Sights, Scope, Red Dot. No fair shooting iron sight targets with a scope for score. )

Pistol: we will use the same targets for offhand and bench rest shooting. Mark your targets accordingly.

I shot using Brno Aperture sights, so the win should go to 10x.
Nice shootin', 10x. You cleaned house...

Yeah 10X needs to be banned from shooting so we can all catch up

[Lazyme]

I think 10x uses aperture sights, not open blade for his rifle...calling Mr Austin to the January thread...
