That's a good-looking target! Are we doing 1 or 2 shots per bullseye?

This one I might have to do outside. Not sure I want to lay on the floor of the test fire range...

I am open to whatever as far as shots per bulls.

@pan60 was able to modify it and possibly make it more suitable for us. I will list it in another post.

Here is the website where I got it from they have other printable targets, standard, and animal.

Revised target looks good, thanks @pan60

I never shoot prone as getting up is a major event but I’ll hookup the chain hoist & give it a try

 

[pan60]

I will give prone a try
LOL
maybe the wife can find a matt for me to lay on as once down I may need a nap?

I won’t be able to participate in the prone challenge . Storm work is going to have me busy for the foreseeable future.

I was fortunate and suffered no damage, but
my prayers go out to everyone who has been affected by recent weather events.

So your helping out the neighbors clean up then?! I can't imagine the devastation....I just ripped up my driveway (widening and adding sidewalk) and dug out 1 small tree and 1 big stump that had to go and I'm overwhelmed by the cleanup. I have yet to get into this competition round myself....is there a set date to complete this one? Edit I see the 13th....let's push that forward a week or 2 maybe?

That’s a good idea Dan, if everyone wouldn’t mind, let’s push it out to 10/27.

Just close one out as compleat then start a fresh new .. maybe once a month cut off / restart or bi weekly?

Everyone ready for a new Challenge?

I was thinking shooting bench rest @ 50y with all the normal reduction in size for closer targets.

We just need to figure out the distances and percentages.

It might be helpful to also post the target at a reduced size once we figure out who’s going to participate and what their requirements are.

@pan60 I was thinking about another possible penalty for shooting closer distances would be a reduced shot count. Thereby reducing the maximum possible score. Thoughts?

Would be nice to have a turkey target since this Challenge would be in November.

I am unsure as to the answer to it I have though one less shot for every say 10 yards?
or 10 point per 20 yards?
or even offer a bonus for those shoot at distance?
I have been back and forth as to what the solution would be?
maybe some others will have some thoughts on the matter.

 

[Hateful McNasty]

I forgot a scoring scheme...



10 shots

Hit the center dot 10 points

Mis dot but in circle 5 points

Complete wiff -3 points ( any outside circles)

Well, as the cold approaches us, I need some help coming up with some ideas for indoor close range target that could also work outdoors at distance.

I think that one of our newer members here would be a great help considering he shoots indoors regularly and posts his targets, @rsfrid any advice or thoughts?

 

[pan60]

might think about doing a indoor and a out?
I would say maybe a target for outdoors for those that want or can, and if its to cold an option for a different target for indoor?

Well, I’m kind of looking at it like this if push comes to shove I can shoot indoors. I have a bonus room that I can shoot across. I haven’t measured it so I don’t know what the footage is.

Just like with the other Challenges, I’m trying to help myself and others experience different shooting methods and scenarios. For some indoors in a basement or in a hallway perhaps that’s all they have at certain times of year.

Since wind and increasing distance would not be any issue with indoor (Garage / basement exc.) the standard for achieving points would be very high.

Precision close range Challenge.

We could table this for when old man Winter really sets in, but I think a couple of these types of challenges could be beneficial for everyone.

Let’s take a survey, if you had to or only can shoot indoors, what is the maximum distance you have available to you?
