Let’s play Long-ish range shooting monthly Challenge

[MtPockets]

I had good intentions of getting out right away this morning before the wind picked up. It howled outside all night, so I guess I'll try for tomorrow.

It's not "howling" here, just breezy….so I used the other excuse!

Though, I have a plan to make my shooting appear better, put the aiming point on the target…..after my shot! memtb

Emergency family illness just gobbled me up. I'll try when I get back home.

I'll throw in $10 to this months winner that'll be my completely optional entry donation. Be next weekend before I get a chance to shoot.

Thanks! Just what I needed…..additional pressure!

A very kind gesture…..Kudos sir! A few bucks to a pot, is a good thing!

Back during the "Poatal Matches"….. We had some prizes to the winners as well. In the early shoots, some of the prizes were outrageously expensive! Something, I recommend we "DON'T" do. I think that it perhaps "tarnished" an otherwise great thing! We also had a little trophy, nothing expensive, that was supposed to be forwarded to the next winner. Someone decided to keep the trophy…..another little "tarnish" on an otherwise great thing! JusSay'n! memtb

Should we just make it 100 yards off hand ?
And work out from there every month ?

I'd vote yes

What are we calling that measurement DDman ? 3/4" ?

It's 1/2" to each ring from the center dot. I didn't pay attention to the tape or I would have done a better job measuring it ( my hands were cold). I'll say 7/8" to middle of bullet hole to middle of target. I aimed for the middle of water bottle with the thermal and hit top 1/3 so I'll say 1 1/2" on that one.

ddman, I really wish that shot was a bit farther away……I'm already in deep doo doo, and with only one shooter so far! memtb

I figured it would be on one of the targets left or right of the one I marked, but I got my sway and trigger pull timed good on that one. When the distance increases offhand is going to get hard.
The ar is small enough you can hold it extremely still and I do a lot of off hand shooting at coyotes and pigs with it.

I have a range right here at the house, but it only goes to 400 yards.

Means you can play 4 times! I can only play 3 at my place!
