What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today

[ThomasT]

My 8 year old daughter wore this target out this afternoon at 55 yards on a tripod. She's got an m3 .25 with a sightmark wraith 4k max on it she really likes. Lol she told me she prefers the orion magazine's over the stock ones. I agree

Hello @Ricochet

Very well shot at 50-yards.

@Ricochet , That Vulcan is a shooter and the guy behind the trigger seems to know a thing or two. Nice cards.

 

[igolfat8]

Only had time for one quick card today.
Bandit, CPHPs at 30’.

Hello @igolfat8

How about that, CPHP ammo in a Bandit shooting like a $1,500 dollar rifle , now that is darn good.

Does this competition require red dot site?

Hello @rsfrid

No sir, it is open to offhand, bench, whatever with Iron Sights, Reticle Scopes, Red Dot Scope or whatever.

I am personally logging in CRS, ( Competition Reticle Scope ), CRD, ( Competition Red Dot ) and CIS, ( Competition Iron Sights ) on all "Venues" to follow any improvements.

Still shooting off two bags while I wait on my bipod mount and red dot mount for my Bandit. Something interesting showed up on this target. I started at the bottom shooting some heavy 25.4 Monster Re-designed pellets. This is an unregulated pistol and you can clearly see the velocity bell curve show up when shooting these heavy pellets. On this pistol, the velocity starts low, ramps up higher and then slows down again and you can see that in the bottom two rows. I’m not sure why it isn’t seen in the lighter pellets though?

Hello @igolfat8

Those 14.3 look real good.

ThomasT

 

[igolfat8]

They certainly shoot the flatest across 16 shots.

Hello everyone,

Late morning shooting the Bandit 15-Foot indoors even though it is a beautiful 74 degrees outside with new blooms on my Gardenia’s.

The number four target ( 49 score ), that is 4 shots in that oblong hole. That is shooting a Red Dot scope, that is crazy

Wow! I just got done trying this with red dot and that sucks! The dot, even though the smallest one on the site, was same size as the black circle. Of course I am at 21 feet, not 15. I'll post targets in a few. But your card here is fantastic for red dot. I am impressed and give you

 

[rsfrid]

I tried Thomas' target with my HW44 22 cal which sports an Ultradot Matchdot II and has many dot sizes. I use the finest dot and the lowest brightness setting but that didn't help with shooting this target sheet. I even rested on a bench, but the dot size was same size as the black 10 ring circle and I was covering holes with red dot.

So I set up another card and shot with my HW44 in 177cal which sports a Bug Buster 3-12 power scope. I shoot at 12 power. As you can guess, it is much easier to shoot a good card with this setup.

Then I finished off the last five rounds on a bullseye target to try for one hole. The hole was .177” across widest part.

Hello @rsfrid

Ross, that is what I have been saying, it's hard to shoot paper with a Red Dot. However, you just tied my best effort with the Red Dot, so for a first attempt that is excellent . It does put a smile on your face when you do shoot a good card with a Pistol and Red Dot combination .

And your other targets are also excellent but we expect nothing less from you .
