Get away from the keyboard and to the range challenge.

[El Jason]

Yep. None of my rifles are zeroed at 100. I do things differently than most. mtmuley

Yep. Go for it.

 

[Potsie]

I’m going to have to rig up a sling for the .22-250 and give it a whirl.

 

[El Jason]

Another HTer was going to use an AR. Completely within the rules, but you’ll sacrifice all dignity in doing so.

 

[mtmuley]

Yep. Go for it.

If I get the time, I want to compare how I shoot my RUM to how I shoot my .222 Remington. Can't promise anything as this is my busy season, but will try. mtmuley

 

[Redmt]

I do acceptably good enough, I will be honest and say my range here is actually 97 yards. If really suck then I will pretend that I never saw this thread.

Good idea. Me too. mtmuley

Hey hey hey, I’m going to do my .308 for keeps, the AR for fun just to see. Dignity fully intact.

Yep I think I'll do one with my 300win mag and one with the 243 interested in seeing the difference.

 

[Dan-06]

I’m going to try with my 22 hornet. The time thing could prove difficult because it’s an old savage single shot. Should be fun though.

 

[44hunter45]

At a 100 yard range I would have to re zero my rifles. Maybe an orange dot on the target? mtmuley

I tried setting an aiming point below the bull. It was too hard to see at 8x.

 

[44hunter45]

Humbling. Almost embarrassed to post my results. Proof that there is almost always time to grab support.

Stage 1 = 22 264WM Interesting I pulled all those low and right.
Stage 2 = 15 358 Norma
Stage 3 = 15 264WM
Stage 4 = 29 358 Norma


That stage two can be tough.

Man up boys. I posted my crappy results. I am going to run the course again with my M1894 30-30.

I may run it in reverse order with the same rifles. It felt like I was settling in at the end.

I was on USFS. Two cars pulling camp trailers came in. I was ready to defend my prior possession of the spot. No need when they saw a guy with rifles and blood running down his face.

Makes it interesting when the range cows walk through your shooting lane.

 

[El Jason]

Get those rifles out.

Stealing an idea from Rokslide, which was a lot of fun. Slightly altered.

A friendly shooting competition. You win nothing. You build skills and have less time to argue minutiae.

Rules. 100 yard range

Target. NRA B-8, printed on 8.5x11. A round outside the 8, but on paper will be scored a 7 unless the course of fire states otherwise. If you want to use your target for multiple stages just cover holes.

If you are not zeroed at 100 yards and want to put a target dot on your target they would correspond to the correct POA/POI, feel free. No need to over complicate what is supposed to be fun.

Firearm. Your choice. If a stage requires more rounds than your rifle holds, the reload is included in the shot time.

Scoring. Line cuts score up. Honor system for times and scoring. If your shot is after the timer it counts as a zero for that shot. You suck if you cheat.

Post your targets in a SINGLE post ( you can edit to add them) and put your point tallies at the top.

I’ll add four more stages to this thread as we go. Deadline for completion is 8/10. We will total points and x’s. If we have a tie we’ll do a shoot off.

You can shoot these at your leisure, with a warm up or dry fire if you choose. However, it would be extremely poor form to shoot these stage four times and cherry pick the best target. Have the cajones to call your shots.

You don’t need to post that you’re in. Simply shoot and post your targets and scores to try and keep the clutter to a minimum.

Any questions on rules will be clarified in this original post.

Stage 1:
rifle slung (or rifle bearer)
chamber empty
Chamber a round and fire offhand (hasty sling is acceptable) within 12 seconds.
Repeat 3x for a total of four rounds. Rounds must be on paper for scoring.

Stage 2:
Standing, rifle slung
Chamber empty
Chamber a round, go to sitting (unsupported but hasty sling is okay)
and fire two rounds in 20 seconds
Rounds must be on paper for scoring

Stage 3:
Standing, rifle slung
Chamber empty
Chamber a round, go to prone (unsupported but hasty sling is okay)
and fire two rounds in 20 seconds
Rounds must be on paper for scoring

Stage 4:
Standing, rifle slung
Chamber empty
Chamber a round, fire two rounds offhand, go to prone (unsupported but hasty sling is okay) fire two more rounds in 40 seconds
Rounds must be on paper

No, and you can’t make me.

Just read this today, I erroneously assumed you used the same stages as bluumoon or I would have participated. I’m full speed ahead finishing a house and moving by Friday, so I’ll have to sit this one out. I think friendly competitions like this are good practice.

 

[BenP]

I'm hoping to do this but doubt I'll get it done before 8/10 deadline tomorrow plus have to re-sight the 30-30 as the scope was removed last year.
Okay want to make sure I understand the set up. I know each stage you start standing with the gun slung and no round in chamber.

Stage 1: is a total of 4 shots standing all within 12 seconds.
Or total of 4 shots standing with each individually shot starting with the gun slung over shoulder and each shot allowed 12 seconds.


Stage 2: total of two shots sitting within 20 seconds.


Stage 3: total of two shots prone within 20 seconds.


Stage 4: total of 4 shots. 2 standing and 2 prone within 40 seconds.

 

[El Jason]

@BenP

Stage 1 each shot gets 12 seconds.

Take a few extra days if you need them. This is more about fun than anything.

 

[El Jason]

Bump. Get out and shoot.

You can also go to the “100 yard game of horse” thread on Rokslide. The most current course is fairly challenging time wise.

Some of the courses surprise me in good ways, some in bad. This was a good surprise. Standing to kneeling (unsupported) and fire three rounds, all in 20 seconds.

 

[It’s Bucky]

I should do this.
