Same target as September, but this one will he scored using a Know Your Limits (KYL) method.

Standard CFF Monthly Rimfire Benchrest Challenge Rules
- Target Size: Standard 8 1/2 x 11 paper - Choose the "Print to fit" option when printing.
- Target distance: 50 yards
- Any shooting position you'd like
- Front rests, bipods, front/rear shooting bags, bunny ears, ... etc. are all ok.
- No full length rifle mechanical rail/sled type rests allowed
- Iron sights or optics of your choice are all allowed
- All done on the honor system. Shoot it, score it, post it.
- Winner chooses the target and challenge for the next month.
- Post copy of your target, setup, where shot, and score

Scoring:
- 15 targets - A target is a spot (sizes vary) within each of the rings.
- One shot per target
- A hit is touching the center spot (not the ring).
- The point value of each spot that is hit is below the ring around that spot.

KYL differences:
- you must start shooting at the biggest dot (smallest point value)
- work through the target in order, but a miss wipes out the whole target
- winner is the one who hits the highest point value without a miss

Tie breaker, if needed, is TBD.
Tie Breakers:
1. How many sheets/targets did you attempt to get your highest score. If you're high score was on your 4th attempt, that's your tie-breaker value. If you shot more targets after that, but never scored higher, those don't need to be included in your count. If you do score higher layer, all previous targets need to be included in the count. Lowest tie-breaker value wins. (So, number your sheets as you work through them)
2. If necessary, the next item to consider is price of ammo. Lowest cost wins. We'll compare prices of somebody that has both in stock at the end of the month instead of using actual price paid.

I HATE THIS TARGET!!! Went out this morning and got a big fat "0" !!! One sheet down. Glad at least last week I shot a good one. One sheet down and a "0"!

First shot great dead center. I thought cool bottom row no sweat. Then second shot I was not only off center I was off by an inch maybe more. What the heck! I shot a couple more times at my now "0" target and things were not improving. Packed up and took my ball (rifle) and came home. :mad:

YOU? A zero??? What did you do drop kick your scope or something ? Man, you smoked the target the last time you shot it.. Your much better then this,, what did you do different from last months target ?

Remember...it's a Know Your Limits scoring.

He could've hit the first 14, then missed the last, and that's a big fat 0. You gotta stop shooting before you miss.

Just one of those days. I know when to stop and today was one of them. I have learned that when I am having a bad day and just stop and try another day. Shot Eley Target today. That was a mistake. Next week will be Match out of the same brick I shot last week.
 
Ok. Some others need to get out and shoot this. It will be next week before I get a chance again. My time at the range this week will be finding good loads for my 308 at a hundred yards since I no longer have a place for distance. Which sucks
 
I sold my Vudoo, and haven’t decided what to shoot. Loved it and best shooter I’ve ever been around, but I was gun poor. Couldn’t pick up anything I saw and wanted after that.
I shot the target at the beginning of the month and kept trying to get past the first target on the top row. I had it one time and got greedy going for one more. Thought I would come back to it, but ended up selling it.
 
So I made it out today. Shot the bottom row and stopped. Score 64 Was going to shoot the 16 but my shot of the 15 was barley good so I decided to stop.

Anschutz 64sbr
Eley target
Wind: 6mph SW
52 yards
Optic: T-36
Rock front rest and bunny ears for rear. I am getting use to the bunny ears but still have a lot to learn.

I may have to drag out my CZ for this one. Maybe if it ain’t raining too hard this weekend I can give it a go.

I didn't even bother shooting this months target, mine would have looked just like yours..

Sorry to hear that,, that was fine shooting rifle you had.. Your going to regret selling it, but we have all had those.....
 
I never made it back out. Whoever won needs to pick a target and start the November thread. We've missed 1/3 of the month.

Or we could just combine it into a Nov/Dec thread since I'm sure most of us have hectic schedule over the holidays and this would give us 6+ weeks to try the target.
 
I've been unable to participate for the past few months due to family issues, but here's my suggestion for an end-of-year challenge.

I found the attached file on rimfirecentral.com and is an part of an up-scaled ARA target from one of their challenges. Each circle is a total of 1-5/16" wide with a 1/16" center dot in the middle. How about using this as a 100 yard challenge? Should give folks a good challenge and plenty of time to attempt a winning score.
  • One shot per target
  • Shooting out the center dot counts for 10 points plus one "X" (ie - bullseye). Dot must be completely shot out to count.
  • The rings are then worth 10, 9 and 8 points
  • Any shot in the square, but outside the largest circle is worth 7 points
  • Any shot outside the square is counted as a miss
  • Breaking an edge counts for the higher point value
  • In the event of a tie, higher X-count wins
Thoughts?
