Others Prone 30y Challenge 10/4 - 10/13

[Danman]

@FL22 I like the option of target size reduction to simulate shooting longer distances for people with limited space to shoot. That’s a very creative idea. I guess one could acquire the sized rations at various distances and use a formula to determine the size of the targets and how they would look with the naked eye or 1x magnification. The main variable that I could see that can’t be accounted for would be how wind affects shooting say at 20 yards shooting at a smaller target versus actually shooting a target from 50 yards.

Yeah Im somewhat against it myself, but its not a hill i plan to die on. I have never shot (paper/plinking) inside 40Y with my Pcps until these challenges. But 10 times out of 10 It's easier to shoot small target up closer than slightly bigger targets much farther away, esp springers or any .177 cal. As you mentioned, wind is the big variable of course. I set up a 2L pop bottle last night at 100Y and hit it 5 times out of 5 @100Y with my Ghost and some pop cans @ 70Y without missing any. Then I shot paper at both those distances...100Y wasn't so great

In a chat I mentioned I am for reducing the size but there should also be a point penalty of short.
one the target gets smaller the pellet doesnt that means a point gained by busting a line would not have been gain at distance
two its easier up close.

I did a practice run and would submit it but I only took one shot per bulls eye so tomorrow for real.
p.s. I like to never got down and almost never got up for any of the older folks if your doing this set everything you could dream you would need down so if you need it you dont have to get up

I understand your view on shooting from the prone position. I tried yesterday and couldn't get any further than kneeling. Only made 3 shots with my Notos before my down knee started hurting and I was shaking like a toy poodle crapping peach pits!! Needless to say, I won't be sharing that target for perusal!

Thank you for trying Mike . I think shooting off a bench is order next.

I think there has been enough torture, I’m not going to try and combine shooting with Twister.
