Anyone want to start a postal match.

The target is just the 7-8-9-10-x rings. The x ring is about 3/4" (that's by eye, didn't measure). These are targets I shoot regular. I figure keeping 5 shots in the 10 is difficult enough for us amateurs.

[PatMarlin]

My printer is down. What if we submit a similar target and you measure the groups?

[PatMarlin]

Or trace the group holes on your target for a score?

Hi lunicy,

How big in diameter is that bullseye? My printer prints it so the bullseye touches the edge of the paper.

Pat, I will if absolutely necessary. Remember is not a grouping exercise, it's a bullseye exercise. Tight groups are great, but if they're in the 7 ring, you'll lose.

[David R]

OK, I'm in. Off hand, center fire cast, 50 feet. EeeeHhaaa!!!

One hand or two?

I need to shoot more so thanks for the help!

David

[lunicy]

Whichever grip you usually use. One or two hand is fine. Three handed grip prohibited.

[Dan Cash]

lunicy,
I am in for any thing you want to shoot other than canon cause I don't have one. If I can help you make it go, let me know.
Dan

[lunicy]

Thanks dan, Everything is a go, I just need some participation. No one has sent a target yet.

[hotwheelz]

When I pull up the target it chops off the sides , is the way it should be ? It also comes out at 121% do I print it out this way or do I make it fit the page or leave it ? I suppose the indoor range probably have the target I could go buy some if need be ....

[imashooter2]

The sides chopped off is normal. You print it at 100% and the rings should be the sizes listed above.

[jonk]

Well I did it. I will be scanning the targets in to you in the next day or two. I can't say I did that great but if few people have sent a target in yet.....

[Bullshop]

Dang it all anyway its -48F and my target shattered into a bazillian little peices.
Can I just send in the peices? It will be better for me if I can just wait till warmer weather comes, like about April.

This might come in handy for postal matches.

And in April you will have a wee bit more daylight for seeing your target there in the frozen north.

i just read the post on this and I am in ,now I just have to wait till it stops sleeting and some of the ice melts so I can get up to the range

[Freightman]

Wish yuall would send some of that sleet-snow- frozen rain-ect down here last wet we had was in August!
If we don't get some wet soon we will have another '05 when we burned 1000 buildings in the Panhandle an area big as some states, we also lost several lives which is the most tragic.
Fixing to go to thr range to see if I can compete wind above 40 but can't shoot till summer if I wait for the win to stop.

[obssd1958]

I haven't done crap for reloading or casting lately, due to sheetrocking my basement where all my gear is located. BUT, I did manage to throw together some ammo for my .45's and while I was at the outdoor range yesterday, shot some targets for this match. No great shakes on the targets, but they are done, and it was fun!
Scanned them and sent them off to lunicy this morning!

Anybody else sending targets in??

Take care,

Don

[imashooter2]

-sigh- All the best intentions and no targets sent. Every time I planned to get out and shoot, life got in the way.

[Dean D.]

I just found this thread and it sounds fun. Is your deadline still tomorrow? If so I hope you all do some more of them.
