Fun pistol game…shoot faster and more accurate too.
Attachment 180343Attachment 180344We shoot on a private range, so we can come up with fun pistol matches that improve our shooting skills and tap into everyones competitive nature also. (we are tired of bulls eye targets)
These two targets are hand made at the moment, doesn't take too long but I would suppose that a silhouette target bought at a store could be modified to work the same.

They are 24" high X 20" wide, made from a roll of poster paper from the office supply.
* We each shoot 5 rounds @ 5 different distances, each shooter shoots and then scores, (mark your shot holes with a slash into the hole) then the next shooter does the same until all shooters have shot @ that particular distance.
* Then we move to the next distance and repeat until all the 5 distances have been shot. Sometimes we shoot from close and move progressively farther back, sometimes reverse. The distances are up to you.
* The idea is to put 3 rounds into the single target on the left, then the remaining 2 rounds go into the hostage target on right.
* You have 5 seconds to fire all 5 shots. We don't use the shot timer everyone just keeps track in their heads and if they get too slow aiming/shooting they get a 'razzing' from the other shooters. Great fun 'razzing'.
@ the first distance…shoot 2 rounds to chest & 1 round to head,
then shoot 2 rounds at the hostage target any where you want.
@ the second distance…shoot 2 rounds at shoulders & 1 round to head,
then shoot 2 rounds at the hostage target any where you want.
@ the third distance…shoot 3 rounds to the head,
then shoot 2 rounds at the hostage target any where you want.
@ the fourth distance…shoot 3 rounds at the shoulders,
then shoot 2 rounds at the hostage target any where you want.
@ the fifth distance…shoot 3 rounds at the chest,
then shoot 2 rounds at the hostage target any where you want.
…End of Game…add the totals and 'razz' whoever you want while the winner enjoys a temporary high.
Notice that for each game each shooter only expends 25 rounds but the shooter is under some pressure to make them really count. That makes good shooting habits develop.
* The single target is pretty simple and has small hi-point zones that develop your moving/aim-point and developes your aim/small to miss/small skill.
* This hostage target is another 'critter' all together…if you hit the hostage you get a 'zero' for both those shots. Everyone loves to 'razz' the hostage shooter!
You notice the 40 point oval areas on the arms of the gunman…we call them tattoos, 'tats' for short, those are tempting to gain points in the competition but deadly to the score of the shooter…that 'zero' can bite you in the 'butt' real quick. It takes a gutsy shooter to go for those spots at 15 yards and greater.
I tried to get these printed and have not found anyone to do them without costing too much, so the reason for the following pictures of my 'templates'. I trace in pencil quickly then trace the marks with a chisel point 'marks a lot'. It takes about 3 1/2 minutes each per target but the fun is certainly worth the effort.

If anyone tries this game please let me know how and whether or not you like it.
OS OK
Here is a target we tried once to make the 'errant' shots 'really cost you'…too much work but it was fun…wish I had a printing press!
