Post your targets - The 15 yard pistol challenge

Not open for further replies.
Haven't shot much all Winter, and it shows. The 422 ought to hold the mini-mags in 2"! These are 2 handed Weaver. The Speed-six was shot single action. Looking for a good plinking load and 158gr SWC hot load for the .38, but I'll never know if I don't do my part off a solid rest!!

Latest, with a new load I am QUITE fond of! this one will be experimented with a little further...

Dadgum flyer...grumble, grumble. All load data is for academic purposes only, use at own risk, etc, etc. Love this shootin' iron!
 
I keep forgetting to print out the specified target and take them to the range, but I hope this is close enough.

Both series are 2 handed, standing, at 15 yds., slow fire in an indoor range. Each dot is 10 rounds.

The 6" dots are with a Glock 19 with WWB 115gr FMJ. (Stock with Mepro night sights.)
The 3" dots are with a Browning Buckmark 5.5" Camper. (Stock) Federal Lightning .22LR. The photo is not upside down, the target was this way when I shot it. The far right dot is 2-10 rd magazines.

I think I made a mistake, my target doesn't look like everyone else's.

First post

Hello all.
I just started pistols 5 weeks ago, so i cheated and shot at 10 yards instead of 15 (I wanted to hit the target for the most part) ;) .
This is with a S&W M&P9. I hung the target upside down so there was room to clip it on the holder.
I will get better in time :eek: I will post another one in a few weeks and see if the groups are tighter.

best target i've ever done, so i felt compelled to post it, even if it's not from 15 yards.

.40 S&W Taurus 24/7 Pro with Wal-Mart Winchester target loads.

20 rounds with no misses from 10 yards. :D

Very nice targets ... I'll post my results.

1st I shot three sets of 16 rounds each, S&W 627PC, at 15 yards, using hand load of 158 grain MagTech SJSP, 7.8 grains Unique, 1.590" OAL and WinSmlPist-Mag primers (about 1200 fps).

1st set was 2 handed, on a shooting bench, with my hands resting on a sand bag.

2nd set was standing, two handed, in weaver stance.

3rd was standing, two handed. in isoceles stance.

These might be the best results I shot this month. I will attribute it to the easy view targets, plus maybe taking a little more time ... trying to look better than I really am.

Very nice targets. Thanks for the link.

Heading to the range tonite to try this out

Hope they have my preferred flavor of ammo.
Anyone else having trouble getting ahold of 147g 9mm lately?
 
Redneck,

Sure wouldn't want you shooting at me. Do have one question though -- how come that pillow is still intact?:confused:
 
Hey Paul, the pillow is just a backdrop for the photo. I didn't take the photo at the range, lol. BTW, thanks for the compliments.:D I've actually put in a better performance than that, just last week. :D
 
Went back to look over Challenge #1 here.
Man I'd forgotten how great the response was and really enjoyed seeing everyone rising to the challenge regardless of current shooting level.

All of the challenges are still open to anyone wishing to take them.

Great shooting, rantingredneck. Looks like you've found excellent load for your gun, and you know how to use it.
 
Thank you. Thank you. I'm here all week.

Just kidding. :D

Yes my P90 and P345 both like that load. The P90 likes it better though. I'll have to photo and post the target I shot with the P345 for this challenge. Not as good but still not bad.
 
Smith & Wesson 1076 10mm. Two-handed slow fire. I'm still trying to get used to the trigger...

6 out of 10 in the 10 ring. I'd say you're well on your way to being used to it.

Hell it's a 10mm. You only gotta get close to make the BG soil himself. :)
 
Ruger P345
Winchester Winclean .45 acp

The three flyers were my fault not the gun
