Mother/daughter shoot off

[btroj]

I took my wife and daughter to the indoor range today for a friendly competition.

They shot my 1911 in 45 ACP and CZ 75 B in 9 mm. Some slow fire at 10 yards, rapid at 5 yards.

I won't say, for now, which one shot which target.

Target 2


Vote for either target 1 or target 2 based on which you think is the better target.

They both had a good time and accused me of showing off.

[Sweetpea]

I'll have to go with #2...

Barely...

I wouldn't want either one of them shooting at me!

[Goatwhiskers]

Boy, you got a problem! Don't ever get either of them mad at you. GW

[btroj]

I don't want either mad at me, that is why I am letting you guys decide the winner for me! I may be a coward but I will love to see the New Year!

[Love Life]

I voted target two. I didn't like the string way out to the left on target one, even though the rest of the shots were in a much tighter group.

Target 2 is no frills, all business, death and destruction perpetrated from the belly to the chest, Good stuff right there.

[472x1B/A]

^^^ He has more post that me. I will vote for #2 also. They can be mad at him first, then me. LOL

[dragonrider]

Target #1, it is tighter, two is more center mass but also much more spread out.. Yes I vote #1

[jmort]

T- 2 but it is close

[Mumblypeg]

Target # 2. Just score it, it's a B-27 so score it ( which I didn't BTW) from the looks of it the #2 will go much higher. Now.... if you are talking live meat.... a hit is a hit.... but still the same as score.

[Love Life]

^^^ He has more post that me. I will vote for #2 also. They can be mad at him first, then me. LOL

I have body armor, so I'm willing to take the heat.

[kenyerian]

It's a draw. Have to have a shoot off.

[btroj]

It's a draw. Have to have a shoot off.

I like that idea.

Next time it is outdoors, handguns and lever guns.
I may throw in a Blackhawk that neither one likes...

[mikeym1a]

#2 had more hits in the 'X' and '10' rings, and several in the groinal area. Was that co-incidental? Both good shooting, but, I choose #2.

What about this one?

[pal82]

Hang those on the fridge. Thats what we do at our house.

[Crawdaddy]

Inquiring minds want to know. Which target belongs to who?

[btroj]

One is my wife, two is my daughter.

Both shot well, both had a good time. Both need to get out shooting more. That should be easy as my wife got me a family membership at the indoor range so shooting will be cheaper.

[Love Life]

The 3rd target you posted is garbage. Whatever happened to some good old spray and pray!!

Good shooting on all of them if you ask me. Each target represents a mission accomplished.

If you want to shoot bullseye, then shoot bullseye targets. If you want to practice self defense shooting, then shoot human silhouette targets. Many benefits to that. Desensitization and gives you more realistic feedback on human anatomy hits than a pie plate with a shoot n c stuck on it.

[w5pv]

Dang good shooting on all of the targets.

[CastingFool]

Don't want none of them shooting at me!

[Changeling]

I have a strong feeling those ladies will be showing you up in a short time, LOL!
Beautiful daughter by the way, you're a lucky man.

My opinion, dude you better start practicing more!

[forfun]

Good shootin I'll take the fith and stay out of trouble :Fire:

[foesgth]

I think they are an exact tie and you should take both contestants to dinner!

[Love Life]

I think they are an exact tie and you should take both contestants to dinner!

Couldn't agree more. Well, except for the target 3 shooter. That person is just a show off.

[btroj]

I did shoot one handed to make it more fair. They should be happy I didn't shoot lefty too, I often do that just to show off. Man does that piss em off.

The first 14 with the 1911 by my daughter had my wife thinking "Oh carp, why am I doing?" First 14 had ONE out of the 10 ring. She usually bounces a few half way to the target so she is learning.

I have a feeling I will be loading lots of ammo this year.

[OBIII]

Target 3 has too many flyers low and to the left. Needs more practice. :)

A smart man will take them both to dinner. A wise man will also buy each one flowers.

OB

[btroj]

Dinner is in the works. Flowers? Not my style.

[Love Life]

You should buy them primers. Everybody wins!!

[Sweetpea]

You should buy them primers. Everybody wins!!

I was gonna say buy them each a new gun, but if you can find primers our powder...

[btroj]

You should buy them primers. Everybody wins!!

Would 20 K each be adequate?

[smokeywolf]

Great shooting by both, but my accolades go to you for getting them out to shoot. Good job btroj!

smokeywolf

[Sweetpea]

Would 20 K each be adequate?

Yes, and tell them they will get more when they shoot better!

[Three-Fifty-Seven]

only?

[TJF1]

Buy them both new guns of there pick

[MrWolf]

Very nice shooting. I am still working on getting my wife and daughter to shoot. Wife is agreeable but daughter wants nothing to do with guns :( notice I did not pick a winner here

[btroj]

I have offered to buy a handgun for the wife. The daughter is only 20 but may get one for her 21st birthday. She really likes my GP100.

I am fortunate that my wife grew up shooting so this isn't anything new or unusual for her.

[Love Life]

A gun is a great present.

[btroj]

A gun is a great present.

Always!

[Bzcraig]

I voted T2 but in either case laminate, put on the front of the house with something like "the really good targets are being kept safe inside."

[xs11jack]

You want to come out a winner and make everyone happy? Buy them chocolate.
Ole Jack

[DLCTEX]

Scoring in the manner we scored targets for concealed carry #2 wins.

[archmaker]

Voted for 2, What swayed me was the number of marginal hits, if the guy was coming at you. Even though 2 has some very low, that still would be effective, whereas 1 had a few to the far right that were not. But as the old saying goes "I sure would hate to have to live on the difference".

That is some real good shooting there!

[MaryB]

#2 is a more lingering death as whoever shot it can watch the creep die...

[cbrick]

I may throw in a Blackhawk that neither one likes...

Sacrilege! Heresy!

Send them both to bed without dinner (let them cook it first :mrgreen:) and keep them there (except cooking & cleaning) until they see the light.

Rick

[btroj]

I know Rick. The Blackhawk in 45 Colt is a great shooter, they just don't understand.

Uh oh, Rick, you just got the look of shame from the wife.

She has shot it, she just doesn't care for the recoil. A 295 gr bullet at 850 isn't bad to me but she isn't a fan.

[cbrick]

Look of shame? I don't understand . . . And no, I can't understand why I'm not married. :roll:

Rick

[btroj]

Spoken like a single man.......

I am fortunate to have her. She supports my addiction and really doesn't complain about things like orders for 25 K primers......

As long as I keep the lead buckets under control she doesn't even complain about the 1400 pounds of range scrap gathered this year.

Yep, I got a keeper.

I can live with not liking the BH, I don't get her dislike of the leveractions. That just isn't right.

[cbrick]

Blackhawks AND leverguns? Hhhmmm . . . Does she have a pulse?

Rick

[btroj]

Faint, very faint.

Her father doesn't know about this shortcoming, maybe I need to PM 1shirt.......

My daughter does like the leveractions. She also appreciates the SRH in 44 mag and has shot full loads in the 375 H&H. She trusts me if I tell her she can handle a gun, I never do anything to break that trust.

[Victor N TN]

Both are to be congratulated.

That's almost like our house. Like my wife and youngest daughter. The oldest daughter USED to out shoot me every now and then. She also placed in the state IPSC matches when we were still shooting.

[Blacksmith]

I always teach the tightest group is the best shot you can always adjust the sights to move the group to where it should be.

Adjust the sights for the first shooter, or get her her own gun.

Now the third target; were you shooting from your weak hand a limp wristing the grip? Practice, Practice, Practice and you'll get better.:kidding:

[btroj]

Yeah, I need more practice. It wasn't weak hand but it was one hand. I get called a show off if I shoot weak hand when they are with me.
