Post by: Hoosier Daddy on January 02, 2023, 07:54:28 AM
Come one, come all... Casual Match #5 of 2022/2023 is open for business.!!!

 The Casual Match is a fun match. Shoot whatever you want at 10M (more or less depending on what you have available), use any position or rest that you prefer. See below for the details.

Rules are the same as for the 50’ Casual Match, except distance is 10M instead of 50’, using the 50’ target of choice.  If you are  limited to distance, shoot at whatever distance you have available. Classes are PCP Rifle (includes any rifle except spring or nitro pistons), Jumper (Piston Rifle, spring or gas), and Pistol. One entry may be made in each class.

The match #5 will run 2 weeks, through Sunday, 1/15/23.
 
The 50’ rules and targets may be found at:

Me either!  My goal of 20X is my motivation, but just can't seem to keep it all together long enough to make it happen. Oh well that is what it is!

Shoot well and know I am rooting for ya!!

Enjoy!

Thanks Charlie!

Thing is, I held center for all 24 bulls, I must have some micro shake that is throwing them off just a teeny-tiny bit.

You can do it!  Only four Xs away.

I figure 20 Xs is as much odds as it is skill and equipment, soooo shoot enough cards, and you could get that big 2  0.

I enjoy shooting in these matches, it gives me motivation to improve, I’m going to keep trying to get better, but I know if I get the 20 Xs, it’s going to be a big happy fluke.

Now, getting 200 with my MPC is a goal that might have more to do with me than odds.

OK, 15 bulls is all I could muster this week, I spent all my 'free' time casting slugs and getting to know the new pot.

Thank you, Charlie!

I am hoping to pull the barrel on the JTS and get it cleaned and waxed. I am hoping that will give me the last little bit of accuracy I need for 20X!   :o

Thanks for doing these Scott.  This is my first time participating, but I always enjoy seeing the results.  I thought it would be fun to have a go at it with my 392 off-hand.  The trigger and coarse front sight are holding me back a bit, but mostly I am limited by skill!

Nice target Eric. Standing unsupported and it's your first round. Not too bad! I wish I could shoot off hand, but I just can't do it anymore way to go.
