Upgrade to sharpshooter (I think)

[PelletsForPests]

I'll keep practicing!

RAW HM1000x LRT .30, UTG 8-32x50 1/8 MOA @ 20x zoom (only because a haze shows up past 24x zoom)
Hand loaded JSB 44.75
Sunny, Wind 3-7 mph coming from behind me (blowing erratically from NNE- which is opposite of normal weather conditions in SOMD)
Seated with bipod only
 



I measured 1 7/8" CTC which just BARELY qualifies for sharpshooter right? Sorry, this was the only way I could fit the ruler on my scanner and get the image to come out clear. The other extreme spread (top right hit to furthest left), measured 1 13/16" CTC, or a measily 1/16" tighter. All five within 2" nonetheless!



I will definitely print out some more targets on the next nice day. Hopefully the wind will be blowing from any other direction, so that I wont be sheltered by my house and can actually feel to make minor adjustments.

Thanks for your consideration. Hope you all have a fun but safe day

Rick.

Yup, looks like you qualify for Sharpshooter. Nice shooting Rick.

How do you like the LRT? I'm very happy with just the plain X.

[PelletsForPests]

I really like it so far. I would have gone with the regular X because it looks better and is priced much fairer, but I want to improve my left handed shooting eventually as well. I havent had a ton of time to "long range target" shoot with LRT unfortunately, but I got a ghog off hand about 60 yards away from my blind over the weekend which definitely made me happy. I know you're liking yours! How could one be dissapointed after stacking 4 in 7mph of wind!? Gotta get together and shoot sometime.

Good to hear you like it.
Shoot me a PM when you get some time and we'll compare the 2 HMs

😀Nice shooting and Welcome to NUAH,Joe

[PelletsForPests]

So close, but not on a NUAH target unfortunately.
Took a while, but I'm starting to do the rifle justice. I won't submit another official until I can get master

It doesn't need to be an official target, as long as the group is under 1" and all 5 are within a 2" circle, centered on the POA.... The 9 ring on your target is clearly 1-7/8" (ie under 2").... and it looks to me like that group is exactly 1" on the OUTSIDE, so IMO it's under 1" C-T-C.... I'd submit it and let Norm decide.... assuming it was shot at at least 100 yards....

You're right, I forgot the 10 ring on the NUAH target is essentially the 9 ring for the 50yd NRA target. I was thinking master required 5 in the center 1moa circle. Sweet! So I'm a master, AND an idiot! (only one trait is really a surprise)

I'll submit it as my final NUAH 100yd target then. Thanks (for probably the 100th time now) for explaining something I didn't get Bob.

 Nice shooting and congrats on the upgrade in rank.

[Dairyboy]

Wow great shooting!

[marty2]

Excellent target Rick. That didn't take long. The HMX is an impressive rifle.

My best so far is 1.04 CTC, not quite there yet.

[Norm_m]

Rick Congrats on a real nice target!
I finally got the time to add you to the Master Division of the NUAH (Long Lange Club)
