What kind of competition? Smallbore benchrest, silhouettes, lever action silhouettes, sportsmans team challenge....../

[NickSS]

I used to shoot 4 position bulls eye matches years ago but do not do so anymore. I do shoot 22 Silhouette matches out to 200 yards about every month and they are gangs of fun. I shot my last match last Saturday and scored a 29 but I would have done better if I had not had a brain short and moved my windage knob the wrong way. Before I found and corrected this screw up I missed 3 targets so only got 7 rams down in lieu of my usual 10 This cost me the match in my class.

I shoot smallbore prone and position. I have a pretty tight schedule, a match pretty much every 2 weeks all winter long (air rifle too) plus 2 leagues and once spring comes I still shoot smallbore plus high power and black powder too.

Here I am shooting smallbore prone and position.

I shoot an Offhand league called Sporterifle

[sbowers]

I only shoot small bore bench, I am to old to get up and down for the 3 position matches mbut we have 2-3 different classes that we shoot, factory heavy barrel,factory sporter,and custom class.

In that picture of me shooting prone with my Remington 37 thats a 20X Redfield 3200 with medium cross hairs and no dot.

I belong to a club here in North East Indiana that shoots twice a month 4 position smallbore indoor in the winter and 50 yard prone small bore in the summer. Quite a challenge for us "older" shooters. I use a Rem 40x in the summer and an Anschutz 64 in the winter.

[sbowers]

I shoot bench only and here are the rifles that i use, a winchester 52C, a martini 12/15, and a winchester 75. http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt183/sbowers5/DSCF4093.jpg http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt183/sbowers5/DSCF4092.jpg http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt183/sbowers5/model75winchester001.jpg

[Hip's Ax]

Nice rifles sbowers! I have a couple of 52C's but I do not have a 12/15 or a 75. I do have a BSA MkIII but I've wanted a 75 for years. Is that a Davis Spot Shot scope on your C?

[sbowers]

Hip's Axe that is a Litschert Spot Shot 20X and I realy like it except for the fact it has a 1/8 target dot and I prefer the thin cross hairs only. I have a fecker that I am going to put on the 75 so I can shoot it in both classes, peep and scoped.

How about IHMSA smallbore out to 100m with a handgun. On another fourm they had praire dog shoot best group at 50 yd with iron sights. Youd down load the target , shoot your 5 shot group , take a pic, post it up. We could mix it up handguns,rifles I think I still have the link to the target.

Hello, sbowers. Last summer I finally got to shoot my reduced creedmoor targets at 100yds. prone. I have an older book Americans And Their Guns. In it are detailed drawings and dimensions of the old chilled cast-iron 1000yd. targets the NRA imported from England for use at Creedmoor range. in the 1870's & 80's.
I reduced these for 100yd. shooting..that black bull is only 3.6" and looks like a pencil dot thru irons.
Had been years since I shot any prone..the old bod sure protested..and paid me back the next day!
The rifle I was using is a BSA 12/15 with custom fancy english walnut stock & 30"
1" at muzzle brl. This beast is heavy!
Anyway, I tried with sling, then a wrist rest..I was able to keep most in the black with these helps..but found myself resting between shots.
Then I tried with no artificial support at all..just as the 1876 rules specified..now that is tough with a heavy rifle!
Thought this would make a fun match..either shoulder to shoulder or postal.
I did consider contorting my carcass into one of those Creedmoor back positions...have to watch out for my toes!

Marshal you should let your daughter shoot that and watch her kick all of our butts.
