Double Action Postal Match

[David R]

I took the super Red Hawk to the range with scope installed TIGHT. I shot some nice groups with fliers as usual. 25 yards, DA mode 10 shots in Just under 2.3". The other two opened it up to Just under 5". That is about the best I can do.

I shot all matches. I have a target I shot at 50 yards with iron sights, but for the life of me I can only count 11 holes. . I guess I will have to send the 11 5/8 inch group. No time tomorrow to try again.

All in all I must have shot over 300 rounds for this match. I love it!

David, check post number 1, for this match the postmark date is Sept 05, the day after labor day. (Plus or minus a little too, I'm a bit more lax than those April 15th fellows.)

Plenty of time guys, keep shooting.

I got the He-Man Irons, and snubnose shot yesterday. Not as good as I've done from the bench before, but not too embarassing, LOL. At least I kept them all on a paper plate (Barely!).

Where do I send them to?

From the early reports,12 shots on a paper plate could be a winner in He Man irons!

[David R]

I will shoot a paper plate for my last target. All other matches are shot. 50 yard Iron HE man coming up later today.

[redneckdan]

okay, I still need to get mine in. I'm plannin to do everything but the snubby catagory.

[David R]

I shot 5 targets at 50 yards Iron sights. One had 12 holes in it. One had 8, one had 11 and the one next to it had 13..........

All matches shot and will be mailed in tomorrow.

Thanks
David

Did you get your 12 on a paper plate?

[David R]

forgot the paper plate, but I did shoot those on my lunch.

They take up about 3/4 of a 50 yard timed fire repair center.

OK,12 shots in 8 and 1/2" out of a lot of tries. Should just fit on a 9" paper plate.

Oh man, sounds like I was nudged out of first place. Mine's easily 9" because I had 2 (3?) on the edges...That was a rough stage and didn't come in only 12 shots.

[slughammer]

Thanks to all the participants!

Targets have been recieved from Imashooter2, Pstew, KennJudo, Deptuty Al, Buckshot, Ron, and DavidR.

If you sent targets, let me know and I'll keep an eye out for them. Scoring starts soon (time to get out the yard stick).

[Edward429451]

Mine were sent out a week to ten days ago...Manila envelope.

Do you mean you shot more than 12 shots to get 12 on the target?

[Edward429451]

No, it took me 48 rounds to complete the stage! 4 targets/trys. I didn't shoot until I got 12 hits, I shot until I got 12 hits in a row on the same plate. Sheer luck really. I was averaging 8-9 hits per 12 and was suprised that I was able to get a qualifying plate at all at that point.

Nothing wrong with luck Double Action at 50 yards for sure. Take a look at post #27 in this thread, thats my target. I shot at 50 long enough to loose track of the round count.

[David R]

This was a great match. Look what I got out of it. A 38 snubbie, LOTS of pracitce and showed loud and clear which revolver of mine is best.

All good. I ran out of trys with a best of 11 on the paper, so I didn't even get an entry.
