Good Shooting on a nice range. Looks like you were the only one to show up.
I was thinking about trying today but Mother Nature didn't cooperate.

I tried at 25 yds with a 10/22T I’ve had since the 90s. Wasn’t sure exactly how to score this one, as I shot a mulligan on the top right clay.

I also tried at 25yds with a savage fvsr. Looks like I scored 305. I’ll blame the wind today and inconsistent ammo!

Your first target was a 300. Good shooting on an extremely challenging day. I shot a Benchrest Match today and the struggle was real. Nice wood stock you have there Sir! Glad you shot and posted.
I have always wanted to do one of these, so I'm giving it a shot. If I goof it up, please feel free to clobber me. Unkind posts will be graded on a curve. 😃
I don't know if air guns are allowed, but it's the straightest shooting .22 I own.
I'm shooting an Air Venturi Avenge X. Optics are a Meopta optika6 2.5-15x44. Pellets are JSB Match Diablos.
Target at 50 yards, outdoors.

Good shooting and you are more than welcome to shoot and post with us monthly. You would have gotten a higher score if you had used your mulligan on that top right clay miss. Since it is an air gun it would disqualify you from being a winner though. We have another guy who shoots here every so often who has an air gun on steroids and would win about every month if we allowed. That’s for shooting with us and please continue to do so.
OP
Good shooting and a good looking rig. Unfortunately you scored your target wrong. Should be a 305 since you get a 10 point bonus for hitting all the clays. Good job!
OP
So far we have had a good turnout with 10 shooters joining in. Here are the standings about half way though. If I miss someone or have wrong score down please let me know.

I am expecting a few perfect scores from our Open class and our Base class has some high scores as well. When these winds die down go back out and smash this target.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I didn't know we got a mulligan! I'll take advantage of that next time. Hopefully I won't have to though.
I don't care about getting DQ'd for shooting an air gun, but I fear you guys are going to make me spend too much money on a good .22LR!
Question: Wouldn't I be in Open Class? I'm shooting 50 yards, and the air gun really is cheating. With a PCP you can control air pressure and air volume to make them shoot straight. You don't have that luxury with a .22LR. Either way is fine with me. I just didn't want any unfair advantage.

Nice afternoon to try out my new Henry lever action at 25 yards. First target was shot with Wolf Match and the second with SK Std. Sk Std had a 12 fps std deviation. Not bad for a Henry. Good scores on both targets.
Finally made it to the range with the new Bergara B14r. Only had time for 1 target so hopefully once I get settled in and find which ammo it likes score will improve. SK pistol match. 320. Open class 50 yds

I went to my range today after cutting grass and trying to miss the predicted rain, which has happened yet.
I shot my Ruger M77-22 ( Base Rifle) at 50 yards. The score didn't match my
expectations. I shot this target with CCI standard velocity. I have better ammo but didn't want to use it.
SCORE. 275
BONUS FOR HITTING ALL. 10
Bonus for 50 yards. 15
Total. 300

Was a beautiful morning. Shot this with Midas plus in Open class. Vudoo V22. The shot on the 40 could go either way. I don’t really care right now so I scored it out.
OP
This should be our up to date scores. Congratulations to @Eric F our first perfect score. Plenty of time to tie him. In the past I believe we counted hits on zeros to determine tie breaker. I feel we will need that as I see at least 2-3 shooters with perfect scores before we’re done.
