Others “HAM Community Target Challenge” 20, 40, 80y

[Danman]

#6 and 7 look questionable I admit, I used a fresh .22 pellet as my gauge, tail was juuuust touching on both

 

[Gramps-Too]

I use a wadcutter pellet glued to a toothpick have one for .177 & .22 if need be I us a magnifying glass to see better. I color code the toothpick for easy identity.

Found this, $$ but has a magnifying lens.

177 & 22 Cal Eagle Eye Scoring Gauge for Targets – Freelands - Freeland's Sports LLC

Scoring Gauge Magnifier Overlay Specs: .22 /.177 (.221” / .177”) The eagle eye scoring gauge is unique as it allows you to score a target without using a plug. Plugs can damage a target and are therefore only allowed to be used by the official scoring authority for the initial scoring and again...

Got it done! I have only ever shot the odd pest @ 20Y, never groups or plinking with this gun at that range. Front rest, used my hand on the rear foam block to jack the back as I usually do. Pulled pellets straight outta the tin without even looking at em...regrets....#13 was a flier I dropped my jaw on that one She is dubbed 'the Kracken' and I literally put on ear muffs halfway through, she's loud indoors! Windy all day or else I wouldn't have shot from inside my shop.

Danman!! You came through lol. Nice shooting and thanks for being a part of this, Bro.

Lol looks like you won the "20" Yard competition on that last sheet, nicely done! Well see what @FL22 says for the 40Y challenge rules, and if we are using the same sheet?

40 yards may put several people out of the challenge, due to the availability of space.

I was thinking for this next round, going a little different direction using a conventional target and shooting off the hand.

What does everyone think about that?

 

[Gramps-Too]

I can do up to 50 yards but 20 yards off hand does sound good. It will make me practice my off hand shooting.

So my vote 20 yards off hand with conventional target. I have some targets that would probably work, I can post up if you like

So @ 20Y again but off hand FL22? I'd be in. Scores going down

If we move to off hand, I am going to shoot at 20!

oh boy, my score is going down faster than the titanic.

 

[FL22]

Well, since this seems to be the majority of the people who participated before, Let’s just go ahead and roll with it.

Also, do we need another two week timeline for practice and then a week to post?

Finally, I don’t think there should be any restriction on the Airgun. You use whatever you feel you can do the best with off hand.

Same as before two targets best score stands.



@Gramps-Too let’s see what you have in mind for a target(s).

2 weeks to practice and get it done, (once we have a target ironed out) should be good! ..so any caliber is ok FL22, or .22 again? Offhand it will be between TX or Ghost hmmm.

Any caliber, bud.

If I could make a small recommendation for this Challenge I would use the heavier one (Airgun) as that helps with it buzzing around.

Since this is an off hand Challenge I think it would be best to have a single full size target (as much as a sheet of paper would allow)

Do you have any targets like that?

 

[Joey 69]

This one is 8.5x8.5

I like this one, someone posted it not to long ago.
