This was originally intended as an airgun silhouette target, but we're going to try it at 50 yards.
They have classes like most shooting competitions. But like he said in his response, the historical range was usually 20-45yards but the steel targets are different sizes. The animals get larger the further back you go. If you were shooting those in a competition, those distances would be reserved for lower power rifles and/or have scope limitations. Higher power rifles would push them back further.What range(s) and position(s) do the airgunners use for shooting at this???
After I give it a try with my .22LR, I may save it and use it for practice with my Benjamin Marauder!
50yd indoor? Nice.Time to head to the indoor range at Sportsman's Lodge for an hour. Give the 40x's a little exercise.
Looks like I might have to find an indoor range this time if I want to compete.Good luck REELDOC! Smok3y is hard to beat at this game.
Well done.Pretty happy with those results with my cross hairs basically covering the entire critter!
I’m glad more are participating.My glass is woefully underpowered for this, but I gave it a shot and had some fun with it.
CZ455 varmint w/Vortex 3-9x shooting Aguila Super Extra. Prone with a sling Appleseed style. Went bottom to top and figured out my hold over as I went. Also couldn't see most of the holes so I fubar'ed the 2 line and shot twice at the first chicken inbetween mag changes. Count that a penalty of 1 and I shot 11.

I will probably shoot this on about 18 power. It may also help to shoot some standard velocity ammo. Just my lowly opinion.My glass is woefully underpowered for this, but I gave it a shot and had some fun with it.

I haven't found any standard stuff that shoots all that well in this rifle. Granted, I haven't tried any "match" quality ammo.I will probably shoot this on about 18 power. It may also help to shoot some standard velocity ammo. Just my lowly opinion.
CCI SV has shot “well” in most of my CZs, and SK STD+ has shot much better in a couple of them for not much more. If you try out some “match” ammo, it might be well worth it. SK Rifle Match has shot well for me usually (except my current batch) without costing too much.I haven't found any standard stuff that shoots all that well in this rifle.

Geco Match shoots well in my CZ's and you can get it for $2.99 at Outdoor Limited in Highpoint.I haven't found any standard stuff that shoots all that well in this rifle. Granted, I haven't tried any "match" quality ammo.
...except that the prize is picking the next target. Are there going to be two targets next time? and then two winners from each of those, so four the next time?I've been meaning to suggest that there be two winners in these challenges -- one in the "iron sights" and one in the "scoped" division
Okay, then run two separate challenges....except that the prize is picking the next target. Are there going to be two targets next time? and then two winners from each of those, so four the next time?
