Who Is Going to Join Me? 22LR Know Your Skills Challenge

That looks like a fun challenge. I also downloaded the hostage target too. I might have to try the hostage target with my Kel-Tec CP33 pistol for the extra challenge.

Looks fun

Looks pretty challenging!

Inviting all for some friendly challenge. If you think you know your skills you have 5 shots and 3 minutes to prove it.

Can you outline the rules more clearly for those that can't sit through the video?

I'm envisioning 75 shots at 15 circles in 3 minutes at an unknown distance.

I would go straight for the top row. I might download the target and give it a go. All I have is a fixed 4x on my 10/22 but I am pretty good with it. I can regularly shoot bottle caps off hand at 25

12Bravo wow I would like to see that target That hostage target is VERY SMALL. I guess you could get 11x15 paper and blow it up a bit.

I might try it at 25 yards first then move out to 50 yards. It will definitely be a challenge with a pistol but I'm game to try it.

That’s what I was thinking, start easier and work up. My .22s only have open sights, so it’ll be tough.

If i can get free this weekend im in...should have my new toy all set up....probably need more ammo tho....
Might break out the buckmark like I did for the last .22 shoot we had here too.

I'm glad to see that I am not the only crazy one that wants to try this with a pistol

I will likely try it if the wind isn't blowing.

My rest has lots of pieces.

Your rests have also been known to fire the guns for you.....

Huh..... That makes me wonder now.... Would a remote trigger system improve the consistency of a rifle or would being strapped into a rest cause more variation.....

Shot this today with my QB-78 air rifle. I didnt do real well score wise, but only throwing 1 shot is pret good for me.
I was also only at 48yds. Since where i originally set up wasnt stable enough for me to get the gun sighted, i moved forward to go prone and got sighted and shot from there.
Missed two shots, decided to put something on the board, then went for broke lol
Just noticed the target pictures upside down.



And yes the box is hanging in the tree.....


Still playing with the adapter to hook my phone to the spotting scope.....




I'm hoping to get out and shoot this for real tomorrow morning, tho the last few times I said I was going to go do something on the weekend My plans got shot.... So we'll see......

Interesting. I am recovering from rotator cuff surgery so I will have to wait a few weeks. I have a scoped QB78 .22 Cal. that I got from Flying Dragon in Iowa. But I left it under pressure and lost a seal. Great shooting, I don't think I could do that with mine. I want to try it with a CZ and a 540XR.

My hat is off to you Loonwolf.

Naw, thanks tho. It was mostly just curiosity to see how well I could do with the old girl.

The QBs can be surprisingly accurate. Mine has the heavier thumbhole stock, a full tune, and a lot of tinkering (had her for 11years now).
If you know what seal went, I can send you a replacement I have most of them.

Thanks!

Thanks, i have been reluctant to tear into it. Thought I might drive to Iowa and see him in person but just not getting that done so I might get into it after I heal a little more . 3 more weeks in a sling.

Probably should have stuck with rhe QB....
We were shooting Eley club from both guns and before actually shooting the challenge targets They we're easily holding minute of angle or better. We had some issue when we switched to actually shooting the challenge targets obviously.

I have videos and stuff....but lazy now.

Rifles
Christensen Ranger, Burris 4.5-14x42 fullfield
CZ 457 Lothar Walter barrel, STac 3-16X42


My buddy Dells targets.




Mine
Screw hole in this one

There was a hole by the 14 from sighting the ranger.



I also forgot to try the 10" buckmark....if im out again in the near future ill give it a whirl.

I have been wanting to try this one since I came across the thread a week ago, finally was able to give it 5 shots this afternoon. All my rests are still down at the farm from Memorial weekend so I grabbed one of my 10-22’s I machined a rear adjustment to use in conjunction with a bipod and due to mud left the concrete bench in the shop and used a lighter folding leg table and bucket, once I put the target up.


I took a gander through the scope and realized it wasn’t going to be the best for the target set (3-9 Pride Fowler) so I put the “good” ammo back up and grabbed the old faithful Winchester dynapoint that was under $8/500 years ago. Even the small plates under 2” were easy after the tiny dots with that scope.



That made me decide to go with the bottom row and I should have fired a fouler shot or at least started with the largest, lowest point target on the right but hind sight is 20/20.

Wound up just shy of 50.



Might see if I can do better this weekend.
