go here and download/print your targets:
http://10xshooters.com/BlackDeathChallenge/
we’ll use the target on the far left of that page, the “main Targetâ€.
5 shots total, with a possible score of 50.
The distances will be:
10 yard pistol open sights/red dot 1X zero mag
20 yard long gun open sights/red dot 1X zero mag
40 yard long gun or pistol with scope
so three different matches. You can enter one, two, or all three matches.
Pistol definition: 14" or less barrel, not including muzzle brake. No buttstock, just grips, or a two hand pistol stock that DOES not have anything to rest against the shoulder. Open sights OR a 1X zero mag red dot.
The allowed shooting stances would be pretty much anything WITHOUT using a rest, vise, bags, picnic table, kids shoulder, or playground equipment. So offhand, sitting, prone, crouching, coughing, sneezing, sleeping, whatever, etc…..
NO RESTS, everyone got that? Yes, you CAN sit with the pistol and rest it in the crook of your opposite arm, but I would consider shooting a rifle while leaning up tight against a tree a little unfair.
Post your BEST results in one of the categories below. Read this as "1 post per weekly round per category"

Yup, one post per round, per category. Post under the thread for which you are shooting...like this one is "40 yard rifle scoped".

Printed off all my targets today (24 of them) Now to deside what a will shoot.
Tomorrow I will take about 12 guns to the range and figure out what two I will shoot. Don't have any pistols that good, so it will be between greatly mod. Chinese rifles.
I'm 69 years old but stillhave pretty good eyes. So look out all you young whipper snappers. You better beat me or you will never live it down.
This old man is not dead yet. Watch out !!!!!!!

How's a big old goose egg grab ya? I discovered that I can't shoot without a rest. BTW, 40 yards, CFX, scoped, tried pretty much every position I could think of except standing on my head. I could hit the paper, but that was as good as it got. Black Death everywhere! Guess I know why no one else has posted any results, yet.

How many shots per target are we doing ?
-
Well for open sights it looks like I will use an AR 2078 mod. for PCP and other changes.
For scoped I'll be using my B-30 with a 3-9X40 also with Mod..
Looks like I will be sitting for all shots in Poss ion 1 of the manual.
Now to get down to the job at hand.
-
you get 5 shots at the paper, 5 shots total. You decide what you want to aim at. If you shoot at the smallest target and hit it 5 times, that would be 50 points.

Got the pellets out today.
I sized and weighed the ones for each gun.
Now I am ready. I'll do some shooting tomorrow.
-
Shot my first this morrning.
2 - 7's=14 and 3 - 5's=15 for a total of 29
TWENTY NINE for round 1 at 20 yards
-
Thirteen points
:D 8) :D :D
4-3's = 12 plus 1 at 1 =1 for a total of 13 points
-
I thought we were going to have a shooting match.
Where is all you hot shot shooters?
I'm 69 years old, I know there should be a lot of you younger people out there that can shoot circles around me. Where are you?
I think it will be a shame if you don't at least try to beat me.
:0 :0 :0
-
since none of you good people want to shoot agenst me thought I would just make a clean sweep of it.
All I have to use here is a Cummings Tool, break barrel .177 and some old Dasie Silver Streak pellets. I shot a 5 with them
A FIVE.
Gess that should win, no one else is shooting.
God I'm great!

LOL Weiner
I will have my targets up by tomorrow night. Been away for a few days. Hope to at least come in behind you..:)

Dan.
Only recently started shooting, I like the idea of an online competition, (no embarrassment) I can't shoot at home the neighbors won't like it, I have an Air Arms s410 and a rather large Smith & wesson 586 (8in barrel) both in .177 which get used at my club, plus a xs79co88 in bits, thats how I found this sight, (Charlie) I'm still at the learning stage but getting better.So now I shall print off a few targets and try and hit the paper they are printed on.

Ouch!
I discovered something about myself today.....I can't shoot a pistol worth a brown trout!
I think my best was about 3 points, but I was distracted by my pistol which was "smoking". Yup, the pistol needs new seals, guess I shoulda oiled 'em before, uhm, never:) I used a BSA red dot, which although the dot is bigger than most of the targets, you can turn the light down to about 3 and see the targets through it.
this week, and what I had as a weekend (1 partial day), has been kinda hectic. Will try to get the rifles out for at least the 20 yard open sights shootout tomorrow. I have the Mike Melick tuned AR2078 .22 that I'm pretty sure wont leak anytime soon, with the peep sights I'm pretty deadly at 20 yards.
Does it count that I wasn't wearing my glasses? I really have no good excuse, my eyes aren't that bad....maybe we'll use bags next time. Anybody else agree with that? Anyone? Hello?
Off to kids choir recital!

Oh man I need to go put my 40 yard target up, crap. Now time to pratice.
-
Hey, no rest was YOUR idea, so no wieners, oops, make that whiners :-). Damn, Dano, I was hoping you'd save us from the Weiner man, looks like he's gunning for a clean sweep. Today's the deadline, isn't it? I'll try to shoot the 350 at 20 yds tonight, but I wouldn't expect much. And yes, next time, no rest restrictions! Maybe we could use the Troyer targets with different scales for different setups.
