VERY low turn out this year.
One Father and Son group in rifles an a single lone Pistol shooter.
Maybe related to the pellet shortage or me being the lone "mod" on this and too much life going on to keep up and promote it.
Do I need to continue this season?
-
I think you should continue.
-
Tomorrow (Sunday) I will start a new session in each match.
I am a guilty as the next guy. Being the Mod, I should shoot them. ::)
-
A bit of ‘life’ has been happening to me too, but I just obtained a like new CZ200s with red laminate stock so bring on the targets.
-
I wanted one of those VERY BADLY but my search for one lead me to my AA S400 SL. ::)
-
Always wanted a TAU 200 co2.

I’d pretty much stopped looking for guns to buy then found this beauty on AGN classifieds. Now if I see a Mike M tuned R7 I’ll be done ‘collecting’.
Well, except for a custom shop CO2 gun maybe…
-
Not you... :-\
Started off this spring with high hopes, printed off a stack of targets, got started on the 30-yd. rested match; things got busy-then a trigger spring in my 350 broke, and I realized that there was a whole lot more going on-so did a full rebuild...
Still haven't had time to fully test it after the rebuild, been busy, busy, busy! around here.... :P

Yes.... My Father and I both would love to keep shooting. We're both wishing there were more competitors though. It's a fun hobby and we both enjoy the time together. Hope more people will join in.

Just moved my trap back inside the shop and sighted in the chasers so I'm ready for the informal 10 yard again.

Scott, what matches are you going to start, another round of summer or switch to off-season?
-
I was thinking the "Off Season Casual Matches" since the official was kind of a flop this year. ::)
-
It's too hot here for much outdoor shooting in the summer. If I can find the time to get my man cave finished and air conditioned I'd be good for 10 meters year round.

This summer was a constant go, go, go, go! Didn't seem that I had much of a break and Mama had me working on remodeling the kitchen, that will continue into the winter and next spring as well. The nice thing about the 10 yard casual is that I can sit down for 5 minutes and shoot a card without ticking her off too bad.
-
Scott, I started practice this week. I will be in the casual matches.
This mornings pistol target. I think I have the sights sorted out. Now to work on me.
This one is 130 or so....need more practice, but ready.
Oh that CZ200 oh my. I saw that in the classifieds over there. But I was fixated on the 1701p, and had recently bought the AA s500.
So many guns and not enough of me to go around.
-
Not to double post but I think I got the Chaser .177 ready for the 10 yard casual challenge. I started with the first group, got a nice 5 shot group then got it on the bull for the third group and dropped about 15 shots into the bull just to make sure I didn't get fliers.
-
Good shooting David. I have not graduated from 5m yet.
I was just up by you shooting chipmunks, between McGregor and McGrath. A friend on mine just bought place there.
-
Great shots David!
Add a couple feet and some inches and you got 10 meters!
10M =32.8 foot ;)

Ok Mr. Smarty-pants! I have tape on the floor for both Y and M! ;D ;)

Mc Gregor is just up the road, expansive bogs all around and Great ATV trails too! We camp at the state park there as well for dark sky.
Did you get a few gophers?
-
Didn’t see any of those littler vermin. Very wooded 18 acres right on 65. Overrun with chippers.
We normally deer and turkey hunt up by Perham, but my buddy wanted a place closer to the cities.
An actual house will make a strange deer camp this year. Plumbing? A shower? No broken down generator hands at 5am?
Not sure how I will cope.
-
I'm late to the thread...hot summer, busy fall, haven't been shooting much...but today is gorgeous...came here to see if there were any current matches... Looks like I'm not the only one slacking off on my hobbies!
I'd say continue, but can't guarantee much participation when winter hits. Maybe a "shoot when you can" winter league for the outdoor distances from Dec -Feb? Nov-Mar?
-
Windier than I thought -- at least 5mph gusting enough to push around my cardboard box with a brick in the bottom. Still got decent "unofficial" results at 30 yards with the Avenger .177 and JSB 8.44s. 186-1X.
-
Thanks for the interest!
There is the "Off Season Casual Matches"
Tomorrow I plan on kicking those off!
-
If it wasn't so complicated sizing pics and get them posted I'd be winning this competition every week. Why is it I can post pics on every other forum I belong to EXCEPT GTA? >:(
-
I email the photos to my self, at that point the thing asks me what size, I pick small.
Then save the photo from the email and post away..
-
There have many threads on this in "Lizzie's Help Desk". ;)

I've tried the emailing pics thing-don't work for me... :P
I resize using Windows Paint, and unless pics are 300 KB or less-I can't get them to post.... Usually, resizing them to 20% works just about right....
Hope this is of some help,
Jesse

I am ready on this end. I can't find where Hoosier Daddy says it was posted that it has started? If possible, please direct me so I have the start time and score turn in info.
I am very fortunate that I have the Poulsbo Fantastic Father/Son duo to shoot with. Nothing better than good times with good friends.
Shoot straight, and enjoy!

I haven't yet as I am on vacation using a POS kindle.
Will be home later today so should be able to kick it off Sunday the 6th.
I will post the link here.
-
Thank you!

AND... SO IT BEGINS!!!

I got my chosen Springer, PCP, and Pistol choices (plus a couple new entry's)
Tins of trusty MeisterDamnits Wadcutters and a full ream of 110# cardstock all ready.
;)
-
The UPS guy (Mr. Brown around here) brought my JTS MAX to me at work, that's a real no-no but I claimed it as 'sporting goods' and wisked it away to my truck ASAP.
Meetings tonight so it will be at least Wednesday or Thursday before I can fill a card.
Hoping she shoots, looking forward to a perfect 200/200. 8)
-
Let the good times roll!!!

I'm planning to use mine too. I shot 2 full sheets Sunday afternoon. I had a few bulls but some wide shot too. I think it's shooting a little hot for wadcutters. (720 fps) I'm going to try some RWS Supermags tomorrow and see how they do.
-
I may reconsider the gun used since I shot the Cuda last night. Here are ALL the shots she has spit out, first cold shot to the last of them.
-
I think there's some potential with the .177 Chaser hpa and RWS supermags. My biggest problem now is the thick reticle on the 4x scope I'm using. Time to go scope shopping.
-
Last year was a bust for me. Too many things going on, I only got out to shoot a few times.
This year, I am ITCHING to get back behind the Armada! It is still not even broken in!
Also got a bunch of NSA slugs for NUAH.
Still got snow on the ground, but hoping to get in a target when the official season starts!
Good shooting everyone!
-
Thanks for resurrecting this thread!
Hoping it will draw new attention!
-
I think I found a couple places to rip off a few shots so I can choot pistol at 5m this year.
-
Excellent!
-
So, where y'all at with this?
I'm all retired n junk and just might have time to join in the reindeer games.
-
Hoping pistol will start soon.
-
Been waiting for you Bill and Betty. ;)

If I can figure out the rules I'll try to play along, sounds fun but I don't have anything that accurate lol, but as long as I don't get disqualified for horrible shooting I'll try and play
-
It's all in good fun.

I..
Sounds like it, I usually shoot with my son...who btw loves that hatsan 105....and shoots it considerably better than I do >:( ;D
-
Supposed to rain during the morning hours tomorrow and I have someone coming to pick up a gun early afternoon. I'll see if I can shoot a card or 2 after that. It will be my only window because the rain will be here Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
I may have other options... ;)

Any questions you have on the rules SwampHunter ask away!
The scoring is pretty simple once you get the hang of it.
Shoot all the targets and take out the worst two for a total of 20 shots.
If you cut a scoring line, take the point for the higher ring.
Touch the center bull and it's a 10.
Take out the bull completely and it's an "X"... it's still a "10" in scoring but an "X" count is for breaking a tie... IF two shooters have the same score, the one with the higher "X" count wins.
Like Bill said, this is a "Casual Match" shoot what you got, nobody will snub you.
I got hooked 5 years ago and my entries back then were dismal at best.. ;D

It definitely looks fun, wish I had some targets today my son and I would give it a try with something or other lol. As it sits, guess we will go "pesting" at the old barn.
-
The targets are printable in the rules link provided... not something you buy. ;)

And just when I thought it was safe to say the snow would be gone, got a half an inch last night! GGgrrrrrr!!!!!
-
Yeah, and just as soon as I said it was nice out, it turns 100% humidity and tornado warnings.
I went to the bar/mancave to locate one of those white seals for foster fitting and within 5 minutes I was soaked to the bone. The shower I took this morning was a waste of time.
Oh well, might as well get used to it. It ain't gonna change until Nov/Dec.

What? No shooting during a tornado to practice those wind reading skills???? :P
I hope you and yours stay safe.
Happy Easter!
