Well, I had meant to submit 2 targets today, but I forgot my rifle at home. :banghead:
I still had my pistols though, so I went to do those.
My plan was to shoot at the 50 first, that way I could get away with one miss which would count as, well, the miss. that way I would get two shots at the small 50 ring. Then I would go into the 20 to get 70, then the 10 for 80. Here's how it went.
I shot it, and it is a pretty close call. I am not used to judging these things, so I will leave it up to the THR VM shooters. Here is a close-up of the shot.
I decided to call it a hit, because it looks to me like the outer ring does touch the 50 ring marker, but I will defer to the more experienced shooters here if I am wrong, and if I am, I will re-hang the target, and continue shooting at it.
However, thinking this was a hit, I went for the 20. Here I started shooting a bit high (No, no me, it was the gun
) I got it in the 20, then shot for the 10, and it went high again. Really high. It was a miss. I aimed lower, and it went in dead center. Here's the overall picture.
So, here we go:
THR Member Name – jamz
Total number of shots to 75 = __4(?)_____shots
50ptsx__1__
40ptsX__0__
20ptsx__1__
10ptsX_1___
MISS(-5)x__1__
Class -- pistol, open sights
Weapon -- SW1911
Caliber – .45 ACP
Of course, sitting here, I am asking myself why I didn't plan to go 50, 30, and 1 miss. It's because, sadly, I'm not that bright.
Oh well.
Fun match, photo_guy!
