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....

Good call, sweet target
-
Hey Dave I like that! :P
-
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.
LOL
-
Yeah Baby, that's what I'm talkin' about !!! I could see this evolve! Great Deal Guys #1 !!!
-
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.
-
I just tried both from this page. I selected print, print document on letter size paper, scale to fit and it was exact size.
:)
-
that target is great :)
I just saved it and printed a couple up,,,, thanks :)
Jeff

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.
-
Hahaha! Nice!
-
i know what i'm doing all day friday 8) thanks guys! i'll put my new gene ram'd rws94 threw its paces @25y
-
I'm gonna get my shoot-on with these. ;D
-
so you expect us to HIT the dimes too?.... :-[
Bob
-
Sweet! Now I don't have to raid the wifes purse! ;D
-
**Insert disclaimer here**
I never specified WHAT range and WHAT you use to shoot with.
:P
And Joe, it seems you had a good idea bro. Chime in here and add your target too.
:)
-
That is great!! Wonder why I have'nt seen that before.
-
Great idea. I love it.
-
i know what im doing at 50 yards when i get home tomarrow....saying this dang wind lets up but on the other hand wind could make it more fun......
-
Im going to hurt tylers feelings with them dimes lol!!!! thanks David
-
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
-
Interesting and guess I'll give it a try. I will have to imaging that the dimes are critter's eyes though hehehe. Ed
-
mind if i use this pic on another site? There is lotsa guys there that like to brag about their Dime sized groups!
-
Glad to share...to bust or help verify in some cases.
LOL
-
well, i'm half way thru....humbling to say the least LOL! i started off really strong...now on the third row and i'm shanking....so i'm taking a brake and leting the coffee ware off hehehe.. will post later when i'm done. wish me luck, i'll need it...Bart
-
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!!!
-
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.
:)
-
: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
joe
-
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.
-
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 :)
Mike

well....i had a melt down! a complete accurcy blow up! so i'm gonna go plan B on them dimes! i have my hw97k all boxed up to ship out to shadow for a lube tune..........she's getting unboxed and rescoped! this rws94 gene tuned shooter can do it but its just to new to me. gotta unbox tried and true helga and make some change! .20 at 25y 3 shots per dime....round 2!

-
Way to go Bart! Throw the gauntlet down and see who answers. Lol
Joe
-
Dang Bart those are some killer groups, tomarow I'll give it a try with the Tuna Titan 22...... should be fun... brent
-
Nice Bro.!!! An by look's Bart your 5 an 10 shot groups are the better of the grouping(excepting row 3 #2&4 ;), NOW I just need to get over to the club or Gary's were I have 25yd's, just to see what I can do(an also to get Gary or Darryl to make me a copy :P).
Hey Bro. if you get a chance do a 10yd one also!!! 8)
-

All you need Bart is bigger dimes... ;D
-
Is that a cool target or what? I like it. Where is a link to print some of those up?
Very cool.
-
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.

Thanks EzMan......
-
alright due to the rain (and my low ftt count :D ) heres a group of 3 shots from my blackhawk
at 50 yds the other papers were sight in targets ;D
-
I can get the dime sized groups, I am just not certain now where they will turn up!
-
i shot many of the dimes.Just not the ones i was aiming at!! lol
-
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
-
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.
-
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...
-
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
-
;D Awesome indoor range there buddy! I wish my wife would let me set up something like that for my Whisper :P
Nice shooting!

"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.

Very sweet
Now we just need some small game style targets with dimes printed inside the head and on the heart/lung
-
Works great, indoors too....Thanks

How about a target with flies on it like the dimes are laid out, I think that would be cool, Ive hit alot of flies at 20 yrds ....... not every time but more than 75% of the time from the bench, not offhand though......(https://www.pyramydair.com/images/zoomed/Champion-Precision-FLY-Target-11x17-25pk_CH-46020_zm.jpg)

Try this one too...

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!!!
joe

LOL, that's great! The GTA url on the sides are good, too. Maybe see some new shooters come online because of the targets.
Thanks, Dez. Just printed out 25 for lots of fun.
joe
-
Can you make some with quarters instead of dimes?
-
Okay, try this.....

joe
(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u132/jonnnyboy2007/efd6a190.jpg)
Just print that rascal to a full-size sheet of paper and give it to a friend and ask him to hit it.

Thanks

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...

Duber

Breaking the law is not what we want on the forum.
Destroying government property (money) is against the law.

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?

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
