Others HAM 10-meter match - October 2026

[BenjeneerJohn]

Here is some proof that I am terrible shooting offhand. 106/200....

This was shooting a Challenger 2021 with a lasermax red dot rifle sight at 10 yards. I might change the red door for diopter sights for the last target.

I hear you John, offhand is a tough game. When cooking up this match, considered doing both seated and standing from sticks. Still hoping to one day approach competency without them, though.

Really enjoying the diopters again. Know we as a group overwhelmingly use scopes, and for good reason- but for this specific type of shooting, I don't think diopters are much of a disadvantage, if at all.

Started an offhand card tonight, but dropped the idea pretty quick. Battling a sinus infection & bronchitis. Neither is necessary for me to shoot poorly, can do that on my own... but they can take it from bad to worse!

Got a seated card completed, 290/300. Definitely satisfied with that under the circumstances.

I hope that you feel better soon!

I thought the red dot would be fun (and it was) but not great for precision shooting. I will re-sight the rifle in with a set of our diopter sights the Challenger is shipped with.

Thanks!

Agree with you, dot sights are great for getting on target fast, not so great for precision.

Tried both positions with the Vet II in .177, Zan 13 grain slugs & Athlon Midas Tac. Went about as expected; a little better from seated & worse standing. Find short guns easier to deal with on the sticks, but miserable for offhand. Don't think the scope helped or hurt. Maybe helped a bit seated, but really think most of the reason it scored better was that it's just more still on the sticks.

Must've thrown out the offhand targets, can't find them. Oh well, not like they were worth framing or anything
Score was 199/300 - 10 points or more less than have been averaging with the FWB.

Probably shot 15,000 or more shots with a Vet II from seat & sticks, so not too surprised to see a bump up.

Another standing set. Think this is very representative of my current level. Sometimes it's a little worse, sometimes slightly better.

@FL22 Nice shooting! Much better than my first two standing cards back in September, before hatching the idea for this online match.

Keep 'em coming HAMsters, we still don't have enough to fill out the podium

 

[FL22]

Thanks @wolfmangreg it’s fun and challenging, definitely need some more HAMsters. That reminds me, @Solo1 come on man, it’s time to bring the hurt

 

[FL22]

Same, same.

Well, I finally got targets printed and the wind won't stop. So... in 12mph head winds (which can't be blamed for my poor abilities) here is what will probably be my official entry.

Daisy Avanti 853
Winchester 2-7x32 scope at 2x
H&N Excite Econ II pellets

One very humbling Standing off-hand (137/300):

And my 1st time shooting bucket and sticks (210/300):

Me looking like I have a clue (Yes, Iused a literal stick):

They say that in the navy, shooting sticks are mighty fine.
They look a little snakey, and waver all the time.

Thanks for joining in @PapaT !

I kept saying I was going to, someone has to fill the anchor spot. ️
