here are my targets,,,

open sights with the bushmaster shorty AK and using some new ammo from (the) major carl lesinger (sp?) that steve smith turned me on to

its carl's recipe produced by hornaday/3D ---just excellent ammo---

.223 75gr HPBT

i might claim the one flyer on the benchrest target was the ammo, but i think thats the one i dropped...:rolleyes:

anyhow i shot this target:

prone with the sling = 90 / 0x

sitting benchrest = 84 / 3x

Offhand with sling = 56 1x

i gotta add,,,those targets are my first time ever shooting the bushy in prone and offhand postions, warmed up on the bench for a while and then just did em cause i was running out of time, i love that 1x on my offhand

;)

Score 91/100--0/X
Class --2 Service Rifle, Prone, no sling, Iron sights
Weapon -- Bushmaster XM-15 A3 20"
Caliber -- 5.56 Handload 69gr MK, 23.0gr BLC-2, LC89, Fed SR

Score 97/100--5/X
Class --5 Benchrest, MTM cleaning center/rest, sitting,
Weapon -- Bushmaster XM-15 A3 20" Iron sights
Caliber -- 5.56 Handload 68.5gr FBSP, 22.5 IMR-4064, LC89, Fed SR

The off hand stage did not go well. I guess I thought that I'd be billy badask and walk up first shots of the day from a cold clean oiled barrel and go for it with some 55 gr'ers for that touch of realism...Well. reality sucks!! Lets just say that I know I lost this stage and leave it at that.

After the foul (ing) shots, I shot some respectable groups with the 55's, just not on the right paper. After that I sorta dialed in the 69gr MK's and did the prone stage. First time out with the 69gr loads, not bad but could be better. I only had 40 rnds of the 69's with me so I'm not sure yet if I'm really needing a sight adjustment, or more work on my positioning.

The 68.5 gr softpoints were given to me by a board member's friend who swaged them, so those 10 rounds were previously untested. I've had them loaded for awhile so figured what the hey. Since they were so close in weight to the 69's I hoped they would print good enough to give an acceptable score in the V Match. I was not disappointed. The two flyers are probably my fault, tho all ten felt & looked good when they broke. These bullets may be better than the MK's, but with such a small lot of each to shoot, thats speculation still.

I gotta work on my offhand shooting for sure.

(All you guys with scopes are cheaters, sic):D Kidding but teaches one to keep your head down and move only at night!

Since my Bushmaster upper is off to Maine to be made to more to my likeing (story to be posted soon in General Discussion), I had to shoot the Service rifle class with my Mosin. 81 with 1X. The Flyer was a flinch on my part.

I tried to shoot non service with a old Mossberg 250 22 bought at a yard sale for $35.00. I should have sighted it in. I had a nice 3 inch group offhand but only 3 rounds were in the scored portion of the target. I won't bother to post it. I'll use it in a future match after sighting in.

Still a fun month. Wish I had gotten my Bushy back in time.

Burn Me Down
62-0X
#3 Non-Service Standing
Ruger 10/22 Scoped
.22LR

Burn Me Down
94-2X
#4 Non-Service Prone No Sling
Ruger 10/22 Scoped
.22LR

Burn Me Down
100-10x
#5 Benchrest
Ruger 10/22 Scoped
.22LR

El Rojo
83-1X
#3 Non-Service Standing
Ruger 10/22 Scoped

#4 Non-Service Prone No Sling
Ruger 10/22 Scoped

So, he shot one X better than me. Darn it. I never get a perfect score on these shoots, always off by one or something. Oh well. I beat him in the other two catagories though.

uh, just reading through the contest specs again,,,

use of "support" sling is not allowed?? in offhand?

tell me a support sling is something other than the regular old sling that came with my rifle, i just used it the old wrapped around the arm method,,,

if i messed up on that,,,disqualify my offhand :(

and speaking of chickens...

how many of you guys actually tried a few head shots ??

:D

and...sorry about the multiple postings above, i havent figured out how to post multiple links/pix to one post,,,i'll try to get to technical and ask about it there,,,

If you used any type of sling in the standing, you are disqualified and banned from the next four events! Just kidding about the banned from the next four events. In national match highpower, you don't get any type of sling aka support sling. I think that is what ROTR was trying to get at. So if you used your regular sling to cinch up a little in the standing catagories, it is a support sling and you were not supposed to do that. I would think you still have time to go out and shoot it one more time without it and see how well you did. Or the general consensus might be since you aren't up in the top numbers with your standing score that you score can stand for this month. I don't think anyone is going to be too upset.

If you want to add the pictures as a link or actually put them in your post, you need to have a web hosting service of some type. For example, my Road Runner cable internet provider gives me two megabytes of space that I can store things online. Using an FTP program I transfer my files from my computer up onto the web. Then I provide the links to those pictures like I did above with the command ["url=][/url] (the " is added so it would display). I could also use the
link to add the picture into my post. If you don't have space provided by your service provider, then you can search for one of the free web hosting services that are out there. So you would upload your files to the service and they would provide you a link to your pictures, then you could insert them in the post. I would do a search on TFL or THR for inserting pictures or something. There have already been numerous posts on this subject.
 
bad 280,,,bad 280

:cuss:

learn something new every day around here...:D

no time to go out and try again, oh well,,,

ok,,,whats the next one??

;)

can i assume the coat ive been hearing about compensates for the lack of a sling,,,

no sling in offhand,,,never heard of such a thing,,,:neener:
 
Welcome to THR Hoser! Very nice shooting in your first match. I assume you've done this before -- perhaps at longer distances. Do you shoot with our Steve Smith in Colorado?

Hoser wins the 100-10x Benchrest shootout by adding another 100-10x shooting Non-Service rifle prone AND by shooting a 100-3x in Service Rifle Standing.

Hoser takes 3 of the 5 categories. Good enough to win a plug for your club's website: http://www.limitedgun.com/

Quantrill Shoots a 97-3x to win Service Rifle Prone.

El Rojo wins Non-Service Rifle Standing with an 83-1x.

Great shooting and a good turn-out this month. Be sure to get out and shoot in October's hunting-style one-shot match!

Thanks ROTR. I had fun shooting this postal match. I got to break out my old NM AR-15 that I havent shot in years.

I grew up shooting High Power, Silhouette and a little benchrest. Lately all I shoot is IPSC and a little prairie dog and coyote hunting. Shooting my Tubb and my Panda that close was like cheating. I didnt think the VLD bullets would be stable enough at that close range to shoot decent groups.

I havent shot with Steve, but I know his face. I might start shooting the occasional High Power Match again. I only need a few more points to leg out.

In 2005 my push is going to be to make the Olympic Team for Rapid Fire. Its an excuse to buy another 2K gun or two...
 
deputy vaughn said,,,

"btw the only reason that I am leading in overall score is that I have an entry for each month. "

alright,,,lets quit it with the modesty,,,

:neener:
 
Actually, I would like to know which match I missed. I didn't think I ever missed a match. I started shooting the Pepsi can in February and have shot all 8 matches including that match. What did we have prior to February? I smell a fixed game! Oh wait, I need a shower, so nevermind. Anyway, check that out ROTR and let me know which one I missed.

Oh one more thing. I think we ought to have a calander year winner. That way everyone gets a clean slate for the next year. And we can also have a lifetime tally if someone wanted. I mean basically DPV and I have a pretty big advantage on everyone else as long as we keep shooting. The only reason I am down so much is because of the initial worst score rule. I vote clean the slate at the end of December.
 
I remember that now! I didn't read the thread much and didn't realize people shot their 9mms in an open class until after it was over. Thank you! All is forgiven for your slow reply. Don't even both giving me those newborn/todler, family, and business excuses. Unacceptable! ;)
