February Shooting Challenge

[Trm82]

Hate to say this but can I get a mulligan? I tried this shot off a bog pod death grip on a 12" paper target and freaking missed the paper completely lol! Shot was taken with a 6mm Seekins that shoots lights out, I was amazed at how every heartbeat hit differently in the scope at that distance when not on a bench!!!! This is going to be a new type of practice shooting for me now, I thought for sure I'd at least get on paper without a doubt! Lol

Well Geez that's what I intend on using today to do mine.
I guess I will see if I miss also

I'm shooting these challenges with 2 guns and reusing the targets for each.
I did really well on one of the 100 yard shots, but knew full well that it was luck.
With the other gun, didn't even touch paper.
So far, gun #2s target is still without a single hole.
Just the way it goes.

I agree with Dug, just keep practicing- especially if you have a .22 (probably shorten the range) to keep it cheap.

In my mind, it's all about enjoying yourself and improving your abilities.

Yes sir, we do mostly pipe recovery work but also perforate and log too. Pipe recovery is the most fun ( find were it's stuck, and use explosives to set them free).

Welcome to LRH.
Glad we got your interested.
22 GT is a great cartridge.
Hope you have Fun.

Thank you for the welcome, all things shooting has my interest. I had the pleasure of visiting with Ronnie and Jennifer Santhuff while she was doing seating depth test. Between y'all on this forum and the Santhuff's I'm hooked for life

7Saum 175 elite hunter
Temp =16 F
5.5 "

This was not as easy as I thought.
First time I've used my bog pod death grip and it's definitely not as steady as I thought I would be with that
Prone with bipod would be way better but I don't even own a set of bipods that attached to Picatiny rail. I guess I need to invest in one

Did you drag that Target behind the truck on the way home

No caliber restriction , Shoot a RPG if you want to
I plan on shooting off tripod , the only reason I said no bench is to make it a little harder and something different.

I think you need to keep it at no BENCH, otherwise not much of a challenge....Bi-pod, tri-pod yes! Just me!

100% it is definitely a challenge not being on a bench
I can drive tacks off of a bench and then you're not on a bench and it's a different story

I did!! That's why it's so clean

 

[windypants]

Probably doesn't count because I didn't have a tape measure with me.
25 CM, 135 Berger, prone on bipod
1.25" low, 2.5" left—missed the wind call!

Well at the risk of hijacking the thread, i have to admit to great curiosity about all this. what's an E-line, and how do determine where the pipe is stuck then free it with explosives/

Oil and natural gas terminology here's a couple links that explain them
Wireline - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireline_(cabling)
Pipe recovery- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_recovery_operations

It's a game that's never ending now. There's always a way to improve your ability. These kind of challenges are a good way to test your skills.
