With gvnwst's blessing, here's a Fun Shoot that'll be this month's Handgun Match. Some of you may recall seeing this earlier in the year, and I threatened to re-offer it again once the weather warms up. Simply print the attached target, shoot, score, and post (or PM) the results.

Here's the twist, though: You shoot strong and weak handed, both 2- and 1-handed, and your score is derived from bullseyes from the same piece of paper.

1. Target:
a. The target is attached at the bottom of the link below (I can't attach it directly, for some reason). When printed, it'll contain 4 bullseyes on standard 8.5 x 11” paper. The 4 bullseyes correspond to 4 combinations of strong/weak, 2- and 1-handed shooting. More info is included below.

b. Calculate your score from bullseyes from the same target, i.e. on the same piece of paper. If you flub a string, you can certainly re-shoot, but use a fresh target and start again.

c. No fliers. Everything counts. If you miss the paper entirely, or one of your shots encroaches on another bullseye, be honest, and let that shot count as "zero".

2. Distance: 21 feet (7 yards)

3. Shooting: 5 aimed deliberate shots per bullseye, 20 rounds total, shot standing, unsupported. As indicated in Rule 1 and on the target itself, you'll be shooting 4 combinations of strong/weak and one/two-handed.

a. Upper right bullseye: Shot 2-handed, with your strong hand firing the gun.
b. Upper left bullseye: Shot 2-handed, with your weak hand firing the gun.
c. Lower right bullseye: Shot 1-handed with your strong hand.
d. Lower left bullseye: Shot 1-handed with your weak hand.

4. Scoring: Total points. 200 possible. The higher point is awarded if the hole touches a line.

5. Sights: Irons only. You really won't need a scope at 7 yards, will you?

6. 2 Categories: Rimfire and centerfire.

7. Reporting, Submission & Posting of Scores: Submit scores for any or both categories. Post targets and scores directly or PM them to me. Include the specific gun, barrel length and caliber. At the end of the match I'll post all the scores, but only reveal the top shooter in each category.

8. Other stuff: As with the earlier Matches, please also include caliber, make/model of gun, position, conditions (especially indoor/ outdoor), load info.

Good Shooting!

i got a little phoenix arms 22lr semi thqat has no recoil spring so its more like a inaccurate slow bolt action lol......any problem with that?
 
Looks like this could use another bump.

Anyone? It's only 7 yards!
 
Here's my entry. I score it as 122.

Shot indoors, Ruger Single Six, 5 1/2" barrel, 22LR, Winchester Wildcats

This is the third of three attempts. Couldn't accurately score the first two, I didn't check each bullseye individually, and my left handed - one handed shots went all over.

This was a lot of fun, thanks for the challenge, I hope someone else joins in!

Nice job, 3rdChance - thanks for participating! Shooting weak-hand-only is tough, to be sure. You did well, though.

I haven't posted a target myself since this is a re-post of an earlier Fun Shoot, in which I've posted scores several times. I may just re-shoot next time I'm at the range, though, just to justify another bump.
 
wow that could be soo much better.

22/45, Federal Champion High Velocity .22 Cal Long Rifle. Indoor range, Standing and shooting as described on each bulls eye. Just shows how little I have been shooting in the last year. I know I should have used standard velocity ammo, but I only had the high velocity stuff in my range bag. It was definitely a wake up call for weak hand shooting.


How can I replace the image with one that is not upside down?

Last Day!

Time to submit a score if you've got one.

Rather than drag this into July to see if there are any late submitters, let's wrap this one up and make way for any July Handgun Match that might be in the works.

Thanks to 3rdChance and Magichelmt for participating. As they found out, even though it was shot at 7 yards, it was tougher than expected and often humbling and eye opening. Kudos to them. Unless anyone beats their scores over the course of the day, they win 1st and 2nd place, respectively.
 
hey lets kick off july, but put one in autoloader section and one in the revolver section since those venues get lots more views than this one it seams, heck just put it in auto section but open to revos as well.:neener:


i got a 45ACP that shoots pretty well....or is this 22lr only going by the target size? if i use the 45, im pretty sure one shot could cover the 10,9, and 8 ring all at once, so would i get 27 points for that shot:D, or just pick which ring is closest to center of the hit.....
 
By all means, feel free to still give this one a try if you like, for an Honorable Mention. Rimfire or Centerfire - it matters not. I've scored a bit better with my .38 than with my .22, owing to the larger holes, and that's why I categorized rimfire and centerfire.

Gvnwst earlier asked if anyone had something for a June Match, and I offered this, but I hadn't put much thought into a July Match. Gvnwst - did you have one in mind? If not, I can try to put something together.
