Here ya go everyone. Let’s shoot up Frosty.

1 shot per Target, 10 targets, so 10 shots.

Tiebreaker
- Most 10s, then 9s, etc
- Most shots fully inside the 10s
- If y’all shot that well, you can work it out...

Play as little or much as you like... and have fun!! We don’t care if you shoot a 1 or 100. This is for having fun!

Is it one shot per target?
 
I guess I'm out. I'll never see those little spots through my peeps at 50 yds. I may shoot one for fun just to see what I accidentally hit.

It is hard to make one of these for peeps and allow for scopes. I shoot peeps. Hard to see anything on a page at all. I was hoping to make the snowman sections big enough and thick enough to see too, just in case. Still not sure it is possible.
 
Cool! Printed off four of them. Will be interesting

Oh, I know. I just like participating. It gives me something to look forward to. I'll have to bring my TargetMaster when I go visit TNTmx9 to shoot it with his rifle...That way he can shoot it with mine. :)

I've got a basic x9 scope and I doubt I'll be able to see this at 50 either. The crosshairs are likely as big as the bulls.
I'll still shoot it, but this one is for the guys with serious glass.

I shot quite of few of them in the beginning with a 2-7X....so I feel your pain. The ones I liked best were when the targets were organized in rows & columns. At least that way I could line up the crosshairs with the targets above/below/beside. 😂
 
Yep, post results on this thread if it's like last time.

It's entirely possible I could score a zero on this one, but I'll try.

Yeah. I have tried these paper targets with my squirrel hunting CZ with 3-9 and it doesn’t go so well.
 
Well made it out today. Did not do very good. A big 89. I did do great on my USBR targets though. Shot a 223/5x, 229/ 7x and 237/8X . My best in a long time. So I am a happy shooter🙂

Rifle: Anschutz 64 BRS
Glass: T-36
Ammo: Eley Target
Front Rest: Caldwell Rock
Weather: 58 deg., Partly Cloudy
Wind: SW 12mph and gusting

Even the cat said this sucked!!! Only an 89. Her head is covering the written score.

Got one without her. Target still stinks

You spoiled yourself with those 100’s! Blame the weather.

1 flier is all. That was great shooting. Just sucked that the flier came on a target without the extra rings. Couldn’t come in a worse spot. You still have time to clean it!

Can't blame the weather on this one. It was a beautiful day. Just me needs to remember not to pull trigger when inhaling. 😡
 
It’s all about the fun.

We'll see.
Gott get zerod first. Not sure when thatll happen. Suppose I could do it while competing lol.
I can see the results now "And in last place, Draco88. Dude missed everything else, but those last two shots were amazing!"
 
Are there any rimfire Steel matches anywhere this winter - less of a bullseye type match ? My 15 year old daughter loves Using her 15-22 On steel targets
 
I gave this a shot over the weekend, but wasn't expecting any Christmas miracles. I was completely out of my usual Wolf MT ammo, so I had to shoot this using bulk-pack ammo. I took 3 attempts and this target was the pick of the litter!

H&R M-12
BSA Platinum 8-32x40mm optic
Federal Automatch .22 ammo
Front rest & rear bag

SCORE = 84
I called the 2nd bullseye target an 8 as it *just* nicked the line.

Yes, I know this target is from last month but I was actually trying to sight in two rifles/scopes that are new to me so I can start trying to play with you all. This is the last target I shot and was just getting better groupings when my buddy wanted to go.
shot turkey with a Marlin 60 semi-auto with Bushnell sportview glass & Blazer 38Gr w/ front rest.
two bottom targets were with Marlin 25n with Leupold Vari-x 111 4.5-14x40mm glass & CCI standard 40 gr w/ front rest. Embarrassing but....

That bottom right is not bad. Try some different types of ammo and it may tighten up.

bottom right was literally my last 5 shots and they were semi rushed. One more click up on scope, a rear bag added and a little more time and I may have something (For my abilities). Only brought the two kinds of ammo with me. I have federal auto match that I may try but need to get some better quality ammo for future.
 
Bottom right is pretty good! Try a few more brands of standard velocity and you will probably find one that works great. Thanks for shooting with us, we will look forward to seeing your next target.
 
I may have to try this, unfortunately I think I've only got about 30 yards cleared for shooting, but I think I can find a spot to stick one at 50... hopefully

I have gotten to shoot this a few times the last couple weekends and again today when I was testing out the 18.1gr .22 pellets. I forgot to take a new pic of the rifle today so using old pic, but I’ll take a new pic when I go out in the next couple days to shoot some more. These are the best 2 out of probably 12 targets.

Printed off the target today. I hope to get the 10/22 out and give this a run over the next few days. Gonna give it a shot with the red dot, then mount up a 2-7X32 vortex and see what it can really do. Got a couple of different types of ammo to try...
 
Got out today and tested the 25.4gr pellets instead. Still likes the same couple speeds it has liked the last few outings, so I gave the Snowman a try, since the wind wasn’t too bad today. 2 - 97s and 2 - 99s.

I won’t be touching my setup on this rifle. It might be my go to 50 yard rifle with these two pellets. It is shooting both pellets better than all but a couple 22lrs I’ve ever owned.

Forgot to take a picture of the same gun again, so using the pic from last month.
