With Maverick223's blessing I bring you the first THR quarterly handgun match.
This quarter's match will be based on the old western legend of the man who shot his friend free from the hangman's noose by severing the rope with a bullet. Your job is to do just that with the centerfire handgun of your choice. Sever the rope at its narrowest section, avoiding the knot and the noose itself. You have three shots per target, with more points being awarded if you do the job in fewer shots.
There are classes of handgun for the purposes of this competition:
Service: Stock handguns with unmodified triggers (regardless of type), fixed iron sights, etc. If the handgun is DA/SA the first round must be fired in double action mode. To be shot at 10 yards.
Target/Custom: Target handguns with adjustable iron sights and/or triggers that break under four pounds of pull. DA/SA shooters who wish to fire their initial shot in single action may also compete in this class. To be shot at 15 yards.
Unlimited: Raceguns and their ilk, any handgun fitted with an optical sighting device. To be shot at 25 yards.
All must be fired from a standing position.
Print out the attached target as many times as necessary. All submissions due June 31st. The winner in each class will be the shooter that most cleanly cuts (puts their shot nearest the center) the narrowest section of the rope in the fewest shots.
ETA: Mods, please sticky as it is the rifle forum.
