Post by: Hoosier Daddy on December 20, 2023, 01:53:05 PM
Hear ye... Hear ye!
Come one, come all... Casual Match #3 of 2023/2024 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, Jumper (Piston Rifle, spring or gas), Pistol, and adding a requested Pumper Class. One entry may be made in each class.

Due to the Holidays, the match #3 will run 3 weeks...  through Sunday, 1/7/24.
 
The 50’ rules and targets may be found at:

Yes you are right, I forgot to add that class.
I will edit the above post to include them.

Puffers (PCP)
Gassers (C02)
Jumper (Break barrel)
and Pumper (ummm Pumpers)

I can dig it.

I suppose all need to be separated in rifle and pistols as well.

I started learning how to use a peep sight and thought I would include it in the Match 3 attempt.

Class: PCP
Gun: Daisy 853
Sight : Peep Sight
Position: Sitting, shoulder held, front bag rested
Ammo : RSW R 10 Match
Score : 180 with 4 Xs

Ron

Score should be 180 I wrote the first one down wrong. (I think)

Bill: "You're killing me Smalls"!!
 A "gasser" is a Pre Charged Pneumatic (PCP)  just not a HPA. As is a "pumper", I just added that by popular demand. Now should I add a Single stroke and Multi-pump in individual classes?
 A "jumper" is any springer, either coil or gas sprung, break barrel, side lever, under lever. Doesn't matter.
 A pistol is it's own category no matter how powered.

Jumper (spring powered)
PCP (Pre Charged Pneumatic) no matter how charged.
Pistol. (that is the little thing you hold in one hand

That 853 is starting to settle in with you. That's a good target for iron sights.

Something you may want to try . . . Attach your target to a piece of cardboard with a glue stick or push-pins. Your wadcutter will leave a clean round hole making scoring easier. Any cardboard box will work, and a cereal box front is nearly perfect. Experiment a bit and see what works best for you.

Just my 2c- spray adhesive is the Tkt. Spray your cardboard, then put your target print out on it.

Nice shooting Ron, since you used your 853, I’ll do the same this round.

I sure like peeps over notch and post that's for sure. Point of aim is centering the point of aim in side the circle instead of lining up
the top of the post with the top of the notch.... centering that between the notch equally and then putting the point of aim
on top of both *lollipop*. That's just too complicated and too many variables to check.

Good luck peeping this round.

90lb card stock... will it work in most printers?

I worked in a wholesale printing shop for 14yrs long before home printers were common.
I changed careers just when they started to hit the market.

If it will feed through my printer it should work perfectly.

It's worked with any printer I've owned. My current one is a printer/copier/scanner and I have a card stock copy of most all the targets I use. I put the original in the scanner and make my copies from them. They seem to print faster that way... on mine anyways.

Ron, that the same one I got if your going to try to use your tray test it 1st. When I tried that it grabbed more than one sheet and jammed the printer up. Had to take it apart to get it cleared. When doing manual feed is I was to slow it would grab paper from the bin and the manual feed too. Another jamb. I set the printer to manual feed then it just beeps when there's no paper. Just and FYI YMMV

Mine only has the tray to feed from.
But I'll only put one in the tray and see how that works.

Mine is the Canon TR4720 3 in 1.

I might have to staple the target to the card stock.

I find that if it's taking too long to find that 'feel good' point to pull the trigger, then I loose focus and the target
and sight blend into one image and I just quit and start over.

Ron, you're on the right track by stopping, then starting over.

Sounds like you're focusing too long and hard on the front sight. Remind yourself to blink often, as that keeps your eyes moist. Also, it's a good idea to keep some water close by, that way you can take a drink after every few shots to stay hydrated.

I think if the hole is touching the black dot it's a "10", if there's a white space between the hole and the black dot center then it's a "9".
If the center dot is completely gone, it's an "X" = "10" but comes in handy if there's a tie in the score.
At least that's the way I understand it.

Dang, I am still catching up!  Might not get to shoot until tomorrow. For match 4?

Nice shootin' James and Bill. I like paying attention to what you are shooting!

James, thanks for the 3 pump disclosure, it's logging in my mental records on the dragonfly.

Oh, were we supposed to report the number of pumps? For the record I was doing 5 but I think I'll reduce that starting at 3. 100 strokes, even with the DF2, was a little taxing and possibly affected some of my shooting.
I think I'll spend this week practicing.

I guess I don't get the concept of scoring at all. Are these scores correct?
And Allen, I'm not picking on you at all... I'm trying to understand how to score my own cards.

I'm seeing 17, 18x and 15 respectively.

I started learning how to use a peep sight and thought I would include it in the Match 3 attempt.

Class: PCP
Gun: Daisy 853
Sight : Peep Sight
Position: Sitting, shoulder held, front bag rested
Ammo : RSW R 10 Match
Score : 180 with 4 Xs

Ron

Score should be 180 I wrote the first one down wrong. (I think)

Looks like you're getting your 853 figured out.   Did you look into the trigger mod? It made a difference for me.   Next match,  I'll shoot my 853.

Not yet, Eric.
There's been a lot going on here, but I sure will in the very near future.

I look forward to seeing your 853 shooting results on the next match. :)

Nice shooting fellas. Weather this weekend kept me out. Rained 4” in about 4 hours Friday night so there was a lake where my range used to be, then 30+ mph winds Sunday. The 50+ mph winds and then rain yesterday kept me from shooting anything for Match 4! If you saw the CFP pre-game you saw what we got when they sent everyone inside.

Thank you (seriously). I had no idea so many kinds of sights existed. Really nice to know that some of them might even be useable with astigmatism.

And...at first glance, I thought you had shot that target sheet with a rifle. Very nice indeed, something to aspire to!

Thanks, Rion.

I think this little gun doesn't get the respect it deserves, outside of the good trigger.
Until now, I had been plinking and targeting at 50' so it's pretty dialed in.
A lot of it was luck, though, but I'll take it.
