EBR Target Challenge
- Thread starter Centercut
- Start date
Trlrman well done. You targets are a little small like mine. I haven’t worked my printer out yet but apparently you need to print in “actual size” and they will come out slightly larger.
If you look on page 3 of this thread you’ll see details.

SORRY GUYS I can't add that's a 218 NOT 221 . AirSupply I have quite a few already printed but will try to correct it on the next batch . Thanks for the heads up !

Testing a couple of new barrels today. 1st tests for each... decent conditions, about like EBR 2019.
Red Wolf 177 HP w jsb 16.1s at 960.
Safari 22 w Jumbo Monster Rds at 950
The 177 was pretty tough... I expected better. Was giving me sub .5" pretty consistently at 50. Maybe try again after lunch. Both were straight from the tin.

Looks pretty good to me, I’m especially impressed with .177! Couldn’t get the 16’s to stay stable at 100 @ 900fps

Dwilson and zx10wall thanks for the suggestion on going target to target it has helped to make me a better shooter I think? It is much more challenging, CC thanks for the after work sanity check ! Today's session. 231 on the 1st set after that I blame a 12 pack of Lone Star on the drop off.
! Happy 4th guys !!

I made it back to the range today and took the advice that CC shared with me and put the .30 barrel back in my Impact. The rifle shot pretty consistent using the 44s straight from the tin. However so don’t consider it a success because there was little to no wind to deal with. My targets ranged from 216 to a high of 232. Now of I can replicate similar numbers in the wind I will be one happy camper.

@trlrman and @igolfat8 great cards. That 230 is a tough mountain to climb. Great shooting to both of you. If you haven’t already done so, I recommend printing out your targets on heavy card stock. It makes scoring much easier and more clear.

Hubby finally got me out to the range. 227, not to bad for a first attempt. Now I’m hooked so more to come I’m sure. This was shooting Red Wolf 22 with Monster RD at 960.

Mike, you changed the rules to attempt to make the challenge more like the actual competition. A good idea I would say.
If you want this to be as real and comparable as possible to the actual competition...you should plug.
You can shoot a 225 that will plug a 225...and you can shoot a 225 that will plug a 235. There is a potentially massive difference in the outcome. I actually had a 230 card that plugged a 243.
You would then have parity among the different calibers...which is the purpose of the plug anyway.
Plugs are not expensive items...and they should be a part of every competitors tool box.
Just my opinion of course.

Sorry C_cut. I didn't read the rules. It's the only solution I could come up with for some of the scores.
