Still good shooting. Am planning on getting out a few more times but out of town on vacation so will have to wait.Very quiet this month. Tried a different CZ 457 with the manners stock. The 5 shot groups warming up were very good. Got a good start on the target, then fell apart. Still shooting off an unstable platform. I will get out to the range one more time before the end of the month.

Awesome shooting sir! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Middle of the week and nobody around but a few turkeys. Decided to exercise the Mini Classic. The ammo was actually SK rifle match I think.

Amazing job!!Middle of the week and nobody around but a few turkeys. Decided to exercise the Mini Classic. The ammo was actually SK rifle match I think.
I believe that bottom row ram is a 5. It looks like there is no white showing between both chest and leg. I'd bet money a scoring plug would have shown how good a shot that was...............
I shot 2 96’s in a row and thought I had the 100 until I walked to the target. Bottom left ram is a miss. I can see the edge of the grease ring just inside the black of the belly and the leg. Knew I had to go again…

A plug would have definitely given it or even calipers. As this is friendly competition only, I didn’t want to go there. And I wanted to clearly get it too. And I want to keep this fun, as I enjoy what we have here. It was the first fun group shooting I did several years ago, and like that we still have it. So I just wanted to make it easy.I believe that bottom row ram is a 5. It looks like there is no white showing between both chest and leg.

If you have calipers, measure all the diameters of shots in white paper and I bet they'll show that you're penalizing yourself.

That is the hard part about paper games on a forum, you only have what people can see in a picture. That also makes this style of X tie breaker difficult too. Luckily with those 14 X’s being so clear, I didn’t have to worry about competing against that.
Agree with @Litl_Red that it was a hit. Also agree that this is all for fun and if people are cheating it just hurts the challenge and is kinda dumb since we ain’t winning any prizes.I believe that bottom row ram is a 5.

I like thinking of shooting like golf… most of the time, I’m competing against myself. I don’t worry about shooting a 72, because it ain’t gonna happen. I focus on what I can do and try to improve on that. I would hope that is what people would do here too. Don’t worry about beating the other guys, beat your best score.Agree with @Litl_Red that it was a hit.

I know it’s hard for some who don’t have the skills (like me) to match our best shooters but it’s still fun to challenge yourself and watch as you improve. I think it’s hard to entice lesser shooters to join us as it takes a lot of fortitude to post a target with 50 while others are getting 100.
I’m stuck on 2 misses per target. It seems like as soon as I have one miss It’s followed by another. Very frustrating. For me it’s really hard to do everything right 20 times in a row. I know that comes with practice but….Still trying to beat my best score. Haven't posted any lately, since it is hard to repeat. Shot a 92 with my Manners stock CZ 457 today in the wind. My misses are just high and I am sure it is ammo, since my aim is on target. Tried some RWS Rifle Match. Even in my warm up I was getting a random shot high. All part of learning what each rifle likes.

20 is a lot. The ammo really starts making a difference when you have to shoot 20 times.I’m stuck on 2 misses per target. It seems like as soon as I have one miss It’s followed by another.

I was still waking up and needed coffee earlier. Go to the July 2023 Challenge thread that was posted by Amps 13. Let's shoot some ducks!I will start a new thread for July.
