Unoffical 10m matches?

[oneied]

Is anyone gonna run some of these in the off season?  I bought my IZH-60 a little to late and missed the matches

Random Plinker/Eric might start up a few later.
You can always start up a match in the "Target Shooting Discussion Gate" and see who wants to join in in the fun.

Why dont you just make it 5 m then?

Oooooo this sounds fun!

I can do that distance in my basement and have been waiting for some fun shoots to pop up, let us know when the fun begins!

Allen, would you consider adding one more additional position?  Off a bag, seated.  Maybe, make it a separate class.  The winner would use a cane pole off the beach.  I don't know if my Beeman P17 and pellet selection is capable of doing this many shots accurately?  This "Cane Class" may reduce the operator shaky and vision variables and place more emphasis on the equipment.

Im game I can shoot 30 feet in my garage.  Its getting cold here and Ill be moving indoors to shoot soon.  As for the rested or different holds I can use my 2012 Chevy Tahoe Hood rest.  It works great just use a towel so I don't scratch the paint.

Tim, welcome aboard.  This target is beyond tough.  Can't get past two shots.

Shooting in the The "Hood" class.  You may be on to something.  The ultimate would be a $40.00 Beeman P17 , Rest, $$$$$$.$$ 1957 Chevy, Etc.

You are just up the street from my location in S.E. Ohio.  We know what's comming don't we, weather wise.
Allen has produced a interesting target challenge.  His latest rule revision is excellent.

Posting Duckie Target
This is my first attempt. Hope I scored it correctly.
Total of numbers in black dots = 162
Total number of black dots = 26
Total number of hits = 45
Total number of extra hits; 45-26=19
162-19=143
Score 143/162
Score Rev. 11/5/13

Hard to do at the start.  Had bunch of misses until I settled down.  Then started to get the feel of my trigger rebuild.  Love these kit guns.

Nice shooting.  I was trying this with iron sight on my nitro piston pistol. Its pretty hard.  Might have have to red dot it.

Thanks for the ackalade.  I tried iron the iron sight with the fiberoptics.  Not good for this kind of precision.  Tried several red dots and they moved a little when you cock the P17.  It takes a lot of force to lock it.  The best one was the UltraDot.  Also, I set the red dot illumination to the lowest level you can see.  The dot diameter gets smaller then.

Best wishes, and have fun,

Gil,

That is some good shooting, my hat is off to you.  Can you tell us more about the UltraDot?  What mounts are you using? BTW, I'm a big fan of the P17.

Bob, Thanks for the complements.  Put the hat back on and Pursue Your Own Excellence (P.Y.O.E.).  Join us, let's have fun.
UltraDot, never had the chance to test their design to this kind of precision. The Bushnell and the Tasco red dots moved from shot to shot.  As you know, the problem is when you close the action to lock it, the applied force is somewhere in the 25 to 40 Lbs. range.  The UltraDot (older design, today’s offering?, who knows?)  The rings (see picts below) came from a box full of assorted rings collected over 30 years.  I don't know or remember who made them or where/when I got them.  Sorry.

Adjust any red dot scope brightness to the lowest level you can detect.  The dot size tends to bloom as the brightness increases.  There goes your precision.

When I started shooting the Duckie target, my grip was two handed and very tight.  I was shooting a 357/44 Mag.  After the 12 miss, the lights started to come on.  Loosened my grip to a very light feel like squeezing a egg shell.  Then as soon as the red dot was centered in the glass (very important) and aligned with the target then immediately start squeezing the trigger.  Let IT happen, take what you get.  Let your subconscious handle IT.

Boy, I do ramble on.  Hope this helps.

Good luck BobH and have fun.

Thank you Gil for the info.  I have a Center Point red laser on my favorite P17, my method is center on the center.  That works well on concentric targets but, not so good on small details.  After seeing your results with the red dot, I'm now considering one.  I think that a short one could be mounted farther forward and I could still cock the P17 without touching the tube.  I looked at the Ultra Dot on the 'net, good thing I was setting down.

I'm going to start having fun again, just as soon as my upper gums heal. Had the last of my upper teeth pulled last week, trying to make friends with my new uppers.

[vinenator]

i would get negative points probably if i have to shoot off-hand.

i might try from a stick..i wonder how much holdover 5m is! better check that!
