this target really stunk it up
i was using a marling 17HMR bolt gun, BSA Sweet 17 scope 6-18x40, 100 yds. from a rest, wind 15-20 mph right to left, first two columns using 17gr hornady v-max far right column using federal 17 gr v-shok.
don't know why but the federals were all over the place, i shot 10 sighter shots and all of them went a different direction than the hornady's did.
but even with a total score of only 12 i guess i still win b/c it is the only entry

We still have one more day.lol
For next month, If this stays around. we will bring in the targets. Maybe 30 yards for irons and 65 for scope.
If no one competes next month then it will be gone.
It is supposed to snow tomorrow, but I will get out and give you some competition.

we might should call this one a forfeit and start over next month. the targets a little closer would help because a calm day in ok is 20 mph winds lol
Here is my target for March. We are not making the .17HMR's look very good.
Name-Clint C
Rifle-Savage Mako
Sights-3x9 Scope
Ammo-CCI FMJ
position-benchrest with bags
distance-100yds
Conditions-24 mph wind with 32mph gust, cloudy, 38 deg
Score-17 lousy points
I know I can do better with better conditions, but I procrastinated and waited till the last day, and it is windy as heck. I lost track of where I was shooting. I couldn't see the holes even with my spotting scope. so when I would reload I forgot where I was shooting, and when I walked up to the target I realized I could only take four more shots at the target. so one of the circles I never even shot at because I was to my limit of 15 shots.lol

Okay, this is plain FUNNY!!!! Oh man....lol I understand bad conditions though. I now have better reason to say that .17s are hyped
I need to go submit my target for the .22 rimfire match or i will be out of it!

no come on now the 17s are more than hype
on a good day with good ammo, which i thought federal was supposed to be, EVEN I can punch out a 1 inch whole at 100 all day
we will try to do better next month

Yes the .17's are great and very accurate. If the target was at 50 yards it would have done just fine for me today. Now with the gusty winds the way they were today, and at 100 yards, it did get pushed around. Any of my shots would have killed a squirrel at 100 yards today, and I must say that is very good if I was starving on a windy day.
