The Gun Club I am a member of has a monthly 22 pistol bullseye competition. I've always wanted to give it a try but don't have a clue other than the guys shoot one handed standing and at 25 yards.
I tried that today with myBuckmark and I SUCK! I shot at paper plates. Had 5 of 'em up at 25 yards and took two shots at each for 10 rounds per string. I averaged 1 hit per plate, usually somewhere around where the 7 or 8 ring would be. Where the other round went is anybody's guess. I did this for 100 rounds.
So my question is what is a Bullseye Stance? Maybe I just don't know how to shoot 1 handed right (though I am doing it the way the Army taught me 35 years ago - you know the 45 degree, straight arm thingy).
How does the competition proceed? How is it scored?
As an aside with my Buckmark about 1 round in 15 I get a FTE, Stovepipe or a really funny FTF (the round ends up at about a 30 degree angle with the bullet jammed up above the chamber and the rear rim hooked on the bottom of the slide). Any ideas? - my Buckmark only has about 300 rounds thru it. The funny FTF is new.
