Title: Dime Size Groups???
Post by: ezman604 on September 01, 2011, 05:09:44 PM
Joe (jonnnyboy) and I were chatting yesterday about folks bragging about dime size groups they shoot. Well, we decided to make a target for practice. So, here's a couple. Print out on standard 8.5X11" paper and it's actual dime size. Maybe he will post his here too.
Enjoy....

Click on the picture and save it but there is another one attached as a .pdf document above. You have to click on it and save. It's Roosevelt dimes, not the expensive all silver Mercury ones.

Post by: Smaug on September 01, 2011, 06:42:25 PM
Just a quick clarification: They're dime-sized if printed with no scaling (or 100% size). If you "fit to printable area" they're actually a bit smaller.

I'm going to print a few and see what's what.
Title: Re: Dime Size Groups???
Post by: ezman604 on September 01, 2011, 06:49:12 PM
I just tried both from this page. I selected print, print document on letter size paper, scale to fit and it was exact size.

Thanks Joe & Dave...never had a question that it wouldn't be perfect.
Jeremy, there are a lot of targets here on the GTA, that are perfect to scale for competition. Nothin' new in 'puterin' with this group.

Post by: jonnnyboy on September 02, 2011, 10:16:01 AM
LOLOL!!!

Dez and I were talking and it just occurred to me that I always try to compare my groups to a dime and so, VOILA!!  Make a 'dime' target sheet and either put up or . . . well, you know.

Before I could even put thoughts to paper, Dez was already shooting me an email with his great target.  He's too fast.

Let me see if I can figure out how to attach mine.

joe

PS. Did you notice Dez used those expensive dimes????  His target costs more than $3.50!  Okay, click on the pdf file down below and give this target a try.  Mine's not as expensive as Dez'.   ;D

Man those are GREAT target's you two!!! I'm just bummed because my printer is down for the computer :(, maybe I can get Gary to make me one up so I can make copy's of it(hehe I have borrowed half my target's from his folder's). Let's see those half dime 5 an 10 shot group's guy's!!!
Title: Re: Dime Size Groups???
Post by: ezman604 on September 02, 2011, 01:27:27 PM
HeeHee
I know the feeling Bart. I'm good for 1 in a row myself.
By the way, looking at Joe's picture I decided to make mine more shooting friendly and revised it.
Be sure to download a fresh copy.

Title: Re: Dime Size Groups???
Post by: jonnnyboy on September 02, 2011, 01:44:47 PM
 :o NO, No, no!!!  These aren't for actual shooting!

These targets are to show everybody else and make them think that is what you are shooting at.  My personal target only has room for one dime on it cause the dime is almost 8 inches in diameter!!!  AND, I can hit it at least part of the time!  AT ten yards!   ;D  :D  ;D

Title: Re: Dime Size Groups???
Post by: dpricenator on September 02, 2011, 02:31:32 PM
on the target in the 1st post is the better of the 2.  In the 2nd target by Jonyboy, I can lay a dime over the picture and can see the black outline all the way around a real dime.  So a dime sized group will be completely inside the black ring.  In the 1st PDF, the picture is the exact size of a real dime and does not have the grey square around the dime.  Not trying to say Jonny's doesn't work, i mean heck I am at letters on beer cans usually.  I will use these once my guns get back from Ed.

Post by: k9jri on September 02, 2011, 02:42:25 PM
Great targets.  Thanks for posting them.  I will really enjoy using these on my indoor range.   They will be perfect for me after I size them up to Quarter size :)

Just right click on the picture and either save it to your computer or select print. Also click on the file below the picture for the other target. Either save or open it to print. Set printer to use letter size paper and scale to fit page.

Really cool target thanks. Can't wait to get out at longer distance.
Got to shoot a few magazines through the p-rod only 10 yds so kinda like taking candy from a baby ;D
Title: Re: Dime Size Groups???
Post by: aack73 on September 04, 2011, 01:00:16 AM
yea that will be harder than just producing dime sized groups. you'll notice most of the dime sized groups you see pics of aren't always center bulls eye shot out. it's one thing to shoot consistently small groups but another when you want them dead on target. those won't be the easiest to get lined up on the same every time either. small groups is all about doing the exact same thing. that will be fun to try though. i just dont expect my groups to be exactly centered on the dime every time. :D :D ;D
 
definitely a fun "put up or....." target. :D ;D

hardest I've tried is the ara target. only 1 shot at each bull and score it accordingly. definitely harder than small groupings on paper. very similar to what ya'll come up with. after taking say 5 shots at each dime try it and take only 1 shot at each. trying for a perfect bull.
Title: Re: Dime Size Groups???
Post by: z28rod on September 04, 2011, 04:24:40 AM
I'm going to give the dime a try Tomarow. my Titan has shot 5 into a dime at 20 yards and a few at 25 yards, but to do it that many times would be very tuff. But at 10 meters it shouldn't be that hard...We will see...
Title: Re: Dime Size Groups???
Post by: Smaug on September 06, 2011, 09:41:23 PM
Here's my entry. 10 yards, offhand standing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JGlJS1mdxA#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JGlJS1mdxA#ws)

It's also kind of a demo of the Daisy 953, which is probably my favorite airgun so far.

Top row: One shot at each dime
2nd row: 5-shot groups (no dime-sized ones though)
3rd row: one shot at each dime
4th row: 3-shot groups (there's two dime-sized groups in that row)
5th row: one shot at each dime

"It is easier to ask forgiveness than permission."

I just did it one Saturday when she was at work. Built the fancy duct seal trap. I showed it to her beaming with pride. She said: "What are you going to do with THAT?!"  > "Shoot my pellet guns inside." > "Oh no you're not." > "Oh yes I am." > "You'll shoot holes in the walls!" > "No I won't." > "You will. It's only a matter of time." > "I won't, and if I do, I'll fix it." > "What do I have with you? Who did I marry?" > "Someone who doesn't sit on his @$$ and watch sports and talk down to you." {end}

By the way, I'm a fellow Mac user. I have to use PCs at work, still.

Dez, how about putting just the one squirrel in the middle of the page and then surrounding him with a number of just 'squirrel heads'?  We all talk about shooting squirrels in the head and it truly is a challenge.

Of course, don't tell anybody it was my idea!!!

My dilemma - I have no paper and I'm low on ink. I can't print the dime targets right now. My solution -  I used a .177 HW50S shooting RWS Superdomes at 20yds. 5 shot groups. I think they're dime sized...

Here is my version of dime size GROUPS.

The one on the left has ten pellets and the one on the right has five pellets.

I pulled these from my duct seal trap as they are, all shots were at 20 yards.
RWS 34 .22 12 land barrel, PELLETS were predator polymags at 14.5 fpe.

I think it's no longer against the law to deface money - remember the machines that mash coins?

Here is another group of comments:

Seems like the key word is "fraudulently" - but even that is open to discussion.

Thanks for the dime targets - they sure are good shooting....  just the right size for 20 yd shooting....  Put a "dot" in center for an aiming point.

Man ol man, I'm shoot good groups now. 8)


Smaller than a dime. I'm can shoot so fast that I can hit a coon five times before he moves, right in between the eyes at that. :D

In fact, I'm so fast that I can put five shots in his twin before he knows what going on, also in between the eyes. :o

What can I say, I can't miss with my Red Rider at 500 yards. ;)


Did I mention that I have been having these night mares lately. Everybody in the dreams are calling me Annie Oakley. What up with this?  >:( I'm a boy! They just better watch out, Red Rider's have been known to shoot eyes out. :P
