Let's do a seated version of the 10 meter standing challenge some of us have been doing. 

• 10 meter distance
• Use the same target used in the 10 meter standing thread. Can download the targets there. 
• Difference in scoring is (due to seated positon being easier than the standing position) if you touch a line, your score is the next ring down. So, for example, you must clear the 8 line without touching it for the shot to be counted an 8. If it touches the 8 line, you score it a 7.
• No harness allowed
• All other guidlines are the same as the Standing Challenge. 

Let's follow the same time line as the Standing Challenge. This week's challenge starts today, Dec. 28 and ends on Jan. 5

Post your targets here and I'll keep the scores on this first post of the thread. 

It's good that we're having some indoor shooting fun. The wind chill was -20 today! As Berges Merideth says in Grumpy Old Men, "It's Butt Cold Out"

Butt cold unless you are facing the other direction, then it's a different story.

Here is my first set of sitting targets. This Coyote with the scope weighs more than the M1 loaded I packed in the army and with bandolier of ammo. Must go to urgent care for shoulder cast. Off hand I would tip over. Also shot set of targets with my little Brocock Contour .22 and did better but not much. Hmmm will have to see where this goes as the match carries on. This should give all you young whipersnappers some breathingroom

Here is my first try on sitting using bum bag field target style 11 yards ~ 10m. 187+189=376.
​It seems you really need to obliterate the dot in order to get the 10 score.

Here's my entry for this week. Man, this is different without a harness. Inside thigh muscles got tired! Hats off the the WFTF folks shooting 12fpe without a harness!
Nick, I'll meet you at urgent care so I can get my thights wrapped!!

Got to say...this requires a lot of concentration. Honestly...more than any FT target I have ever shot at.

198 + 197 = 395

 

[chasdicapua]

Wow, nice targets Mike.

Thanks, Chas,

The scoring plugs for the 10m AR 5/10 are slightly smaller than the BR plug. About .007". It make a little difference. 

I will get some material ordered and make a run of scoring plugs. When Im done with them, i will post and we can then begin to get addresses and stuff.

You guys are fortunate to get Mike N involved here! He's done more than anyone for air rifle target shooting.

Happy New Year Mike (and all!)

Just checked back in, all I can say is wow! Good job guys, I better do some practicing...

 

[Greg5850]

Here are my sitting targets for the week. Note; one is with my Thomas, the other with my Steyr. So many very close ones! Did better with the Thomas as they were not as close to line. Thomas is sent to Mike for some upgrades.

199+198=397

Nice Shooting Greg! Seems hard to imagine that anyone can hold a rifle that steady even while in the seated position... I know I certainly cant.
