Best target--picture thread

[FROGO207]

We all like to brag a bit and this is the place.
There are lots of good looking target pictures all over so I figured let's put them all in one place. Show me a picture of your best target to date and add some particulars. Distance, caliber, firearm/bow/knife used, factory ammo or reload etc. Whatever info that helps with this. I always save the good ones for bragging rights. I will dig through mine and post my current best one soon as I find it.

That interruption of the white line one block set up from the middle bottom of the silhouette (two up from the group just below the silhouette) is a 3 shot group that measured .14" Granted it was only at 25 yards, (I was starting sight in of my Axis) but still when you have to use a caliper to measure them, it's always good.

 

[Deus Machina]

Unfortunately it's old, and taken from an even older phone.
The trigger is crisp but terribly stiff; it's not the accu-trigger. I really don't see why people demand the triggers that will go off if you breath on them. I can still manage a 10-round group acceptably.
This was scoped ($30 on sale), but when I brag about what my $120 Savage Mark 2 and (this particular) $25/500 bulk-box can do at 50 yards, I'm not joking.

Draw and fire 12 shots from Colt 6" Python in 12 seconds, including reloading...from 15 yards...Police Dept. practice ammo. HKS Speedloader. Holster was a Bianchi, break-front. (If anyone wants it, they can have it.)

This was done around 1975, when I was volunteer police firearms instructor for the Waterville, Maine PD.

I take pictures of good targets, who are made by good shots. Of which, I am not one.

So here is my target:

 

[Ks5shooter]

TC Venture 7mm-08 150 yds from benchrest,using my Hornady 139gr SST pet loads

 

[jmr40]

Winchester 308 EW, @ 300 yards

Kimber 308 @ 100 yards

Various rifles @ 200 yards

Ditto..........

 

[BigBore44]

Well they are two pictures of the same target. 100
Laser ranged yards. Two different guns. Both are completely stock JM Marlin rifles. One a 444S and the other my 1895 45-70. The group covered by the quarter is a load I developed consisting of a 300gr Sierra over H-4198. The shot above the quarter is a reference shot with my 45-70 load of a 350gr Hornady RN over H-4198. After the adjustment, the next two aren in the black box. I was shooting off shooting sticks, sitting in my turkey chair.

Not sure if this is actually my best, but it’s the first 15 rounds out of my brand spanking new S&W model 637-2 at 10 yards.

EDIT:

This bullseye target is a couple of points lower than the one I posted yesterday, but it has more X's and it's rapid-fire rather than timed, so I'm prouder of it.

Again, 50-feet, one-handed, S&W Model 41 with Burris Fastfire III sight, CCI Standard Velocity ammo.

Simply outstanding young man.

View attachment 801405 Kimber 308 @ 100 yards

View attachment 801406 Various rifles @ 200 yards

The Kimber target is outstanding!!!

 

[Demi-human]

These are just under an inch at one hundred and one yards.


I shot these while getting a scope in order for the "Rimfire prove it!" Unfortunately, that didn't carry over to the regulation target at fifty two yards.

I wish I saved pictures of my Savage F/TR rifles targets, but everyone would wonder what all the pictures of just dimes are for.

 

[roval]

only a 3 shot group but after doing a ladder workup for 223 remington and deciding on the load . this was the 1st 3 shots of that load with cfe 223 with 55 gr v max out of my savage 12. these were my first rifle reloads. the charging and seating were done on a progressive as well.

note the rifle had been sighted in for a different load.

range was 100 yrds of course.

 

[NIGHTLORD40K]

My oldest shot this one with my Garand, she was aiming for the mouth, lol-

50yd, 150gr Federal JSP. It was only her second time shooting the rifle. One of my proudest moments.

 

[Bbear]

6.5x55 Swede, 142 ABLR. Shot while working up a load. I think I found it.



243 Win. Weatherby Vanguard S2. $199 scope. 500 yards, 4-shots. A friend that was with me stated after seeing the shots "amazing what you can do with a high-end scope". Told him the price of the scope and he just shook his head, laughed and said "amazing what a good shooter can do with a cheap scope".

 

[Alte Schule]

With my 19 year old granddaughter at the indoor range a couple months back. To start off with I ran the target to 15 feet gave her a S&W Model 617 and said give me your best six.

 

[Picher]

I probably can't do this anymore, but some days are better than others, so who knows? The 521T that I shot the target above with was sold a while back. Just got tired of it.

 

[Shimitup]

One of my better efforts in the last few months, a magazine full out of my pre B CZ85 at 7 yards. I like the 2" orange dots, it gives good contrast in the gap with the black sights. Now if I can get rid of the stragglers that wander off the dot.

 

[wally]

I'll play:

Five shots RPR .308, 300 yards, 6" square plate, well under 1moa in elevation, I need to work on my wind doping skils.

Ruger 10/22 with Green Mountain bull barrel, 50 yards, testing various ammo 10 shot groups:

M1Sales 7.62x39 AR, 1-4X scope at 1X (zeroed at 4X testing for POA shift with zoom) 50 yards off sandbags, 20 shots:

 

[Walkalong]

One shot, one kill.
