5 Shooters, 5 Rifles & 1 Shot Each......

.... at 350 yards from the bench.

At our monthly benchrest match which involves 100, 200 & 300 yard IBS targets, we added a side match of one shot at a 3/4 inch dot at 350 yards. An entry fee of $1 was charged with the pot going to the shooter closest to the dot. Sighters were allowed before taking the "money" shot.

There were two .308's, a 6.5x47, a 6mm PPC and a .223.

All 5 shots were just low or just high with the dot in the middle. The group had an extreme spread of 1.935" or .56 MOA.

It's not a world beater group by any means but I thought it interesting when the mix of shooters, guns and calibers is considered.

The winner and second place was decided by a difference of .020".

Out of curiousity what was the winning caliber and how did the .223 fair?

So.... How much did you win? My favorite bets are when the looser(s) by the winner a case of beer of their choosing.

That is pretty darn good. I might be able to keep mine (from a rest) inside minute of woodchuck at that distance on a calm day. Good shooting.

Here is a picture of the target. The 6-PPC edged the 6.5x47 by .020". The dot is 3/4 of an inch. The .223 hung in there with the rest of us. My shot is the lower .308 and I didn't win... darn it! :) The winner used a new custom 6-PPC and picked up the pot of $5. He also won the 30 shot benchrest match with a 294-7X so we'll all be gunning for him at the next match! The match is 10 shots at each distance for score at 100, 200 and 300 yards on IBS targets.
