Open Pistol Match (test) - Let give this a try.
« on: March 14, 2009, 06:48:10 AM »
Lets keep it open for the full week. So this one will run from now through 12 Midnight (EST) next Sunday 3/22/09.
If we continue with these we'll go from 12:01 AM Sunday through 12 Midnight the following sunday.
If you all don't like this target feel free to suggest something else. Either one you have, know of or give me some ideas and I'll make one up.

Pistols only. Any type/style/barrel length but must not have a shoulder stock.

Let's start with 5m as the distance. (Barrel of the weapon should be kept behind the 5m line.)
When scores stabilze at the high end we can add a 10m or just switch to 10m.

20 shots on target (only 2 per square count).
Up to 5 shots on the sight in block.
Score as noted on target. Score the inner edge of the hole, breaking the line counts toward higher score.
Any sighting device is fine.
Standing one or two hand only, no rests of any kind.
(as with the other comps, allowances will be made for physical needs)

Post the normal info:
Score, weapon, sighting device and pellet used.

Feel free to post comments and results here. If we continue we'll add a results only thread going forward.

For the record - My pistols include a Crossman 2300S (CO2) and a Gamo P3.  I shoot the 2300s almost exclusively but if the P3 doesn't sell soon I'll use that sometimes too.
I do scope my pistols. 2300S carries a 2-7x BSA. Can't really use it beyond 3x at 5m. It just won't focus. The P3 carrys a fixed 2x BSA.

Here's a version with red bulls for those that prefer more contrast.

Would it be easier if I uploaded the file to photobucket and provided a link????

Glad you got it because my answer would not have been very helpful :-)

OK, Stan.  Here's one to make your low score look good.  Actually, I think I might try again later and take my time just to see how well I can shoot a BB pistol. LOL!

I've got my basement range back today. I'll try to shoot tonight. Glad to see a few more targets posted.

Don't fret over your scores, my pistol shooting has been pathetic recently (I guess I've spent to many hours with my rifle). Before I started with the rifle matches I was stacking pellets in half inch bulls, now.... my pistol groups are about 2 inches but very inconsistent. This is a reason to practice, that's all. Although, if participation is good for a while I may throw out some token prizes. Like a small tin of the pellets used on the 'winning' target or something like that.
