Ae there any indoor challenges going to be starting up as we approach winter. I have access to a range that can go 50-feet or less. Certainly 10 meters. Handgun or rifle. Are there some regular challenges that start up?
Indoor Challenges? Getting ready for winter

I'm hoping for the same thing here . A friend belongs to a range not far from me , after I introduced him to this " drug" airgunning, he is pushing to start an indoor shoot.

How traditional do you think would be of interest? I have done the USA 50/50 (2006) as a 50-foot benchrest with springers. It could work with springer and pcp.
Alternatively I have a 15 fly target. Life size. 3 points head-shot, 2 points body and 1 wings or legs. It adapts to various platforms as well.

When I was really young, my dad's work did an off-hand 10 yard challenge around this time of year. It was the smallest five shot group out of five attempts. I think we ended up both placing in the top five, but I can't recall specifics, I'll have to ask my dad about it. Googling around, it looks like there are a few variations of this type of challenge, might have to bring an airgun and some targets to thanksgiving this year and see if the family has kept up.

Not having done any competition indoors or out , I can't speak for the traditional aspect. I haven't heard lately if he's garnered enough interest .

I was thinking this might be fun.
3 points head
2 points body
1 point wings and/or feet
0 miss
Score best edge, plug using unfired round (if needed).

10m offhand & this would be interesting. Hell, I might even try it with a pistol & irons to see if these old eyes are up to the challenge.

Ok this was over ambitious.. At 10m these old eyes could only make out fuzzy dots. Irons are OUT!

At 50 feet it was not "easy." It was not too hard to not miss hitting something, but when you start to look for head shots.... it got a little tricky.

I can attest ! This is a lot of fun at any distance , and you can use 60 lb card stock paper on most any printer (60 LB card stock is the thinest card stock , 60 LBS per 1k sheets )
