Match # 1 Post your offhand scores here

[tjk]

Howdy Folks!!! Here're my results. I'd like to thank Mike Mellick for the work he performed on this rifle,....and Wes Combs who sold me this rifle!!! Keep up the awesome grades "Fly-Boy"!!!!! My Fav indoor plinker for sure! First off a few apologies,....I think the ink's drying up on my printer,...Sorry. Second,...since I haven't read the official NRA rules of scoring,...I went with the score number that the most of the pellet hole penetrated. Third,....I'm not sure this is the best paper to use for target shooting,..but it's what I had on hand. One thing I did forget was to mention the time. It was about 1:30 PM EST. My Rig is pretty simple, just a Med powered rifle, tac scope rail, and a cheapo Tasco scope from Wal-mart,....3-9X40,...I think?!?!? Frames two and three,,...I was pretty much out to lunch!!!! But one ,four, and five were about the usual avaerage window of "Non-Competitive" shots. tjk

This is cool. Just shot mine, pic attached I hope. I actually shot 5 rounds, am I allowed to write off the lowest one???

If yes I shot 171, if not - 167

The gun - .22 disco with 3-9x40 Leapers scope, pellets Crosman Premiers. The range - inside my house.

The cold medicine I took last night and am still hang over from certainly did not help.

I just shot this match ... but I have to "cheat" somewhat - lol.   Since my spinal surgery last summe, although I have total usage of my arms and legs, I only have very limited feeling in my legs and feet .... and slight intermittent loss of feelimg in my hands - Sigh !  So these days I mostly shoot sitting on a very low canvas camp-stool .... a bit awkward but still gives me some trigger time.    My score was 199

[Jerrycup]

Bill, can you point me to the rules for scoring each shot?
I had thought that the hole had to be fully within a ring to count for the higher score...
Wrong? What are the visual criteria?

[tjk]

I don't know much about those rules Jerry,...but I think I could have benefitted from the five shot per frame and dropped the worst score!!!!!!!! LOL's Oh well,...too late now. Oooops, sorry, I did it again RJ. tjk 8)

[airgunandy]

OK, I gave it a shot (well, 20 actually).

Excuses:
No practice, the target looked like a bowl of black Cheerios, and a light wind was blowing from right to left.

Rifle:
"Crazy Ivan" - .177 caliber IZH IJ-22 Soviet-made springer (IZH guns are target guns, right?)

Ammo:
Daisy Precision Max pellets

Score:
Near as I can tell, 137.
I have other guns I might could do better with (they are scoped!) but I like to shoot this old Cold Warrior.

I haven't found any Official Rules for this match, only recommendations for the match !

But in International Shooting, as well as NRA Matches, if your shottouches the line, you receive the higher score. So say that you shot hits the line between the 7 & 8, you receive the higher score, an 8 ..

I hope this helps !

[kirby999]

Yep, that's how I always played the game . if it touches the line of the higher scoring ring , you score it the higher ring . kirby

[preez]

If we're playing by that rule, I need to change my scores...

I went by center of the shot.

It would be 171 for rounds 1-4

How many targets were we supposed to shoot? 4 or 5?

[Black Mamba]

This was quite the challenge for me. I really enjoyed this and found that I really need some practice. I used my hunting "sighting" technique to get my shots off and for the most part it worked for me.

Setup is:

1322 PSP Crosman Conversion
14.3 Crosman Pointed (weighed)
Bushnell 4-14 power Sportsman on 5 power set to 12 yards objective
8 pumps per shot for about 415fps/shot

I had a hard time finding a way to take a picture that would show the shooting clearly enough and ended up taping it to a light to show the contrast between target and shots. As you probably know, Crosman pointed don't cut paper. They punch through paper making it harder to read.


My scores are based (on the paper) by "If you touch a particular line you get the lesser number". If I went with Bill's post as to counting it would be 178.

Great fun though.

Mick;

Nice shooting, too. That will take squirrels out to fifty yards. I had squirrels in the yard today, but they were busy with making little squirrels, and I don't shoot the little buggers, when they are making more little buggers. That would be counter productive.

I'll try to post tomorrow. I guess I can print the target?
