October 2009 Rimfire Match!

[gvnwst]

Well, looks like this match is off to a good start, I like the way you are running it Mav. Good shooting everyone, keep it up!

 

[Maverick223]

Thanks gvnwst; I need to get out and shoot, myself (note the comma...I have no intentions to "shoot myself"). Hopefully the weather will improve tomorrow.

 

[Griff56]

Where am I supposed to get these targets?
Did we resolve what the target is to be?
RED WHITE AND BLUE for 50 Yd
Silhouette for 25?

 

[Maverick223]

The targets are linked at the bottom of the first post, please note that there were changes (big text) to the 50yd. target. Let me know if you have any trouble opening the target and I will E-mail it to you, Mav.

 

[Griff56]

Thanks Maverick

 

[Maverick223]

No problem Griff.

Scoring on the 50yd target.

How the heck do we score this? I can't read the numbers on the small target, but assuming they are the same as on the big target it seems a tad bizarre as the small corner targets are about the same as the 5 zone on the big target and any hit on those should be worth at least 5 points.

I'll post one of my targets later today and maybe you all could help me out.

 

[Maverick223]

I figure that we would score the small ones the same just to keep it interesting.

 

[mjsmith1223]

I've never tried one of these before. Looks interesting. Is it correct to assume that the entries are due prior to Oct. 31st?

 

[Maverick223]

Is it correct to assume that the entries are due prior to Oct. 31st?

Welcome to the match Mr. Smith, all entries are prior to Oct. 32nd...and by Oct. 31st.

 

[mjsmith1223]

LOL. Thank you. I'm looking forward to giving this a try.

 

[Orlando]

Glad to see you join in. We need more shooters!!
Where is everyone?

 

[Maverick223]

We need more shooters! Where is everyone?

Amen, looks like most of the regulars have abandoned us, hopefully more people will join in this month.

 

[jordan1948]

Alright. The old Mossberg 151m(a) gets to strut it's stuff, but only on the 25yd targets. Will get out shooting and post results asap.

 

[Maverick223]

Welcome to the match Jordan.

 

[Maverick223]

The following is the submission for mjsmith1223:

25 yards
Ruger 10/22, manufactured approx. 1983-84
iron sights
Remington Thunderbolt ammo
sitting position
25 yards
outdoors, cloudy, drizzle, 50 degrees, wind 10-15 mph going straight down the range.

 

[Maverick223]

mjsmith1223, looks like you scored a 15+13+17=45. Not bad at all for Remmy T-Bolt ammo.

 

[jordan1948]

Thanks Maverick. I printed out my target and punched my holes this morning but I was in a hurry, had to be at work at 12 so I'm going to print out another one and shoot again tomorrow when I have more time.

 

[Maverick223]

Sounds good, no need to explain...I still haven't had time to shoot myself.

 

[jordan1948]

Alright my first entry.
Range: 25yds
Temperature: 68
Ammunition: Remington bulk pack
Firearm: Mossberg 151m(a)
Sights: Fixed rear iron sight, non-factory front sight
Vintage: 1947-1958 iirc
Position: Sitting with porch rail as a front rest


Second entry
Range: 25yds
Temperature: 68
Ammunition: Remington bulk pack
Firearm: Mossberg 151m(a)
Sights: Fixed rear iron sight, non-factory front sight
Vintage: 1947-1958 iirc
Position: Kneeling, no sling

Results: Poor. My sights were off and in an attempt to adjust them I must have loosened the front one and....

All fun and games till someone looses and eye......sight.

 

[Maverick223]

Jordan, looks like a 15+16+7=38, and 4(hard to see, let me know if I am wrong)+13+12=29, so you might not be in the lead (feel free submit more), but that is pretty respectable for not having sights that are attached and secure. Good luck finding that front sight.

 

[jordan1948]

Good luck finding that front sight.

lol thanks Mav.
