August 2008 Rimfire Match

[oldgold]

Thought I might get my old Ruger slabside out today.

It's got an Tasco Pro-Point on it. So I guess it would be considered scoped.

Likes Agulia SE Extra Subsonic.

It was 94 degrees with light and variable winds.

Four holes can be covered with a nickel +10

49 points and maybe an X.

25 Yards off a bench of course.

Welcome DPStx. Glad you could join us. Nice groups.

We've been doing the matches in one variation or another monthly for a while now. Jag started it in the Marlin 39 club and it has evolved from Levergun rimfires to just any ol' rimfire now. I try to mix it up and do something a little different each month. It's all about getting out shooting and having fun.

Next month's match is almost here. Hint: practice your offhand shooting... This one will be a hunting season tune-up based on JohnMcl's suggestion from a few months back.

Nice DPStx. I think you should appeal to MO for bonus points for shooting in the rain. There's got to be a dedication bonus. But, you've still got next weekend to get it sighted in.

Good turn out guys!

We have entries for Scoped, Irons, Pistols and Mossybacks. The only empty catagory is youths...

I've still have a BIG lead in most last place categories so don't feel bad if you didn't post a 75 with 5x's. It's all about having sharing in the fun, camaraderie and getting out shooting with the ol' 22.

Thanks to all who participated, even if you haven't submitted a target.

I'd still like to do a .17 target, if my picatinny rail ever arrives. I was told it would be this week.

 

[xringonly]

Ah, but we are not done yet, Ill get blondes #1 and 3 hooked up behind a rifle in the next couple days. May even get another target or 2 myself.

Hope you don't flog me for this, just joined today, shot last week, and am down today after an operation earlier this week...hope to shoot on your next match....80 rounds, 50 yards, successive mag exchanges till all 8 mags were empty..all offhand from my 10/22 pictured above target.

 

[plinky]

Great shooting, Plinky. Flyrodder

Thanks Flyrodder. I'm afraid I may have killed the Savage since then by trying Federal bulk ammo. It really hated the stuff. Maybe it will recover.

Welcome Texfed. That's a wicked group.

JustsayMo: That is a hard one. I ran out of ink just printing more targets. Most of my targets look like they were shot with a shotgun. Flyrodder

 

[Afy]

September? I have two weeks vacation... so at least 4 trips to range... ideally 8-12.
