Looks like another shoot out, this time between Woody61 & johnlochey . . .

What's the target this time ? ? ?

johnlochey · Veteran Member

Hey, hey, hey now!

Now I don't know if I'm up to that kind of pressure! I'm getting old (40)!

Woody is an excellent shot, I would gladly concede to him!

Besides, my 16 was a bit iffy! : 0

Oh, I thought all you guys were younger then me! Whoops.

Anymore, my "social" groups are starting to consist of more younger people and some older people, but you know how that ratio changes as you age!

Shocked

Ahhhh!

A shoot-off always keeps things interesting. Besides, I would not want you to concede just because you are too young to know better Razz

Ok.

BRING THE HEAT!!!

Alright! Cool!

I'll try not to choke! : )

I'll also try to submit a score tomorrow as I am off of work!

johnlochey · Veteran Member

OK, could have been better, could have been worse! : )

The middle diamond may be worth more then 10, I don't know. If it is, then good! I'll need the points! My competition is really good! ; )

Here is the target:

Specs:
Gun - IZZY 46m
Pellet - RWS Hobby
Distance - 5m
Stance - Standing, one hand
Time - 4 mins.
Score - 90/100

** Probably shouldn't do this, but I did. My other hobby is weight lifting, and I shot this target RIGHT after lifting. But sometimes, I shoot best after working out believe it or not! Maybe concentrating more(?). Who knows?!

P.S. I had somebody check my scores, just because some of them were so dang close!

You got me on this one. I ended up with 84. Steyr LP1, RWS pellets, 5 meters, one hand, 4 1/2 minutes.

Woody61,

Wow, this is like only the third thing I've ever won in my whole life! Pretty exciting!

This one was truly by the skin of my teeth, as clearly noted by my numerous "barely-10" scores.

And I see that you already blew past me on the Week19 score! : )

Thanks for the shoot-off, it was fun!

Hope to beat you again someday! Mr. Green

Woody61 · Member

I enjoy the competition even if I get beat sometimes. It wouldn't be called competition if you won them all Wink

You did some fine shooting on last weeks match, congratulations Exclamation

Mar · Veteran Member

I think the pressure from us all is getting to Woody now.

I'm not feeling up to shooting lately, feel real tired and cold when I get home from work. Finally getting some sun to shine here so hopefully that will recharge me.

Nice shooting as alway and congrats to John.

johnlochey · Veteran Member

Thanks to all! I don't belong to a shooting club or a range or anything around where I live, just don't have that kind of time. So you are all like my shooting club!

I really appreciate the competition and look forward to shooting with you all each week!

I would say, since I started shooting these competitions, the amount of shooting that I do has increased about 300%. These competitions really get me to pull out my guns and shoot on a regular basis, which in turn makes me better, which makes me like it more, yada, yada, yada...

I think the thing also that keeps it interesting is the different targets each week. Always something new that kind of keeps it more lively!

Talk to you all soon! Mar, hope you will be feeling better soon! Can't remember where you're from, but I know flu season is at it's peak here in Michigan. Hang in there!
