Benchrest 100yd 5x5 Challenge Inspired by Franklink

[Billm]

I like @Franklink idea of a 100 yard 5x5 group challenge. The idea is to attempt to shoot five groups of five pellets/slugs at 100yards. I've created a target and will attach below. You are trying to shoot Minute of Angle groups. Minute of angle at 100 yards is generally accepted as a 1" group, measured center to center. Shoot five groups and measure the groups and average them for a single average group. If you'd like to shoot this challenge and don't have 100 yards, I will be more than glad to create a target with appropriate sized bullseyes for MOA at 25, 50 or 75yds. The target that I created uses true MOA at 100yds which is 1.047". The outer ring is just for easier aiming. The background grid is a 1/2" grid. This is also a consistency challenge, so shoot all five groups consecutively. This is not an easy challenge. PDF on far right is improved visibility.

It does for me. I’ve downloaded it on two different devices. I’m not sure what the issue is.

Ill play though. Shot this couple days ago. Was breezy no flags just 1 after another single shot. Oh outer circle 1 3/8”

I'll get back to 100 yards when it warmer.
Have a new tripod for when I go to the daughter's farm next time.
But for most of the winter I'm just shooting in the basement at 45-53 feet.

I get board shooting inside i can only do 5-10 shots through the same exact hole and then i gotta quit

In the spirit of no “cherry picking”. I shot two cards lol. I spare you my excuses. But, I will say my last group tightened up. Show us what you got? No real wind, just me, the Ghost and the pellets.

Well bill i hate to tell you but thats what a 2-5 mph breeze will do and you don’t even have to feel it!

Here’s a pic of strelok target at 100 the pink lines are 2-5-10 mph breeze 90* to pellet path. 25 cal 33.9 gr at i think 930.

It’s very possible. I’m learning that with a hundred yards that the wind may be totally different along the path downrange. I envy those shooters with access to 100yd indoor shooting.

I’ve never seen Strelok. I’m assuming that it’s showing left drift in mils at 100yds?

Where I frequently shoot its on a side hill and just the breeze coming down or even going up and switching around sometimes drives me nuts!!

You should get chairgun for your phone. Yo set up your gun zero pellet & velocity scope and it will show wind drift and holdovers etc lots of info for a couple bucks

I have the DNT app which is based on Chairgun.

Just printed some of your target and will be sending pellets at the 100 yard indoor range below… Will post up what I can do with my .22 Ghost Carbine.

You've got a huge basement. That's so cool!

I just printed off the target and will give this a try next time I am out at the range

That was my solution for winter fun. Low powered springers and CO2 spend hours down here. Listen to AM radio talk shows, just like Grandpa did. The jeans help deaden the sound off the sheet metal.
