I guess picking the wrong parents is continuing to pay off (Ah, the joy of spinal stenosis, etc.) and as I wait for my cataract surgery in both eyes starting next week (Thankfully surgery will help with Glaucoma and maybe optic nerve end damage), I thought about starting another myth busting thread while I undergo surgeries and recovery for the next several weeks.
Found this video where 22LR shooters start with 2" metal swing target and proceed down to 1/4". Shooting stops when smallest target is missed and scored with largest target hit.
I duplicated the same challenge onto a copy paper pdf. This is "myth busting" challenge as members are expected to take cold rifle/barrel and commence shooting without warm up to see what the "real world" accuracy is. If you need to zero the scope, you can do it with the 2" circle.
Challenge rules:

Challenge rules:
- Expect members observe the honor rule in actually "measuring" out to 50 yards (No pacing).
- Without warm up, shoot one shot per circle.
- If you cannot see the circles, fill in the circles you can't see.
- If bullet hole touches line, continue to smaller target (As steel plate would have moved).
- If hole is outside of line, stop shooting and submit target with information added to the table by taking a picture of completed target.
- Additional submissions can be done using different ammunition.
- NOTE: If you KNOW your rifle is capable of shooting sub 1" at 50 yards, I have no issues if you want to start out at 1". I think starting out with 2" circle would benefit those members with "non-match grade" rifles.
