First blood y'all!
Target here:
Specs:
Gun - IZZY 46m
Pellet - RWS Hobby
Distance - 5m
Stance - Standing, one hand
Time - 6 mins.
Score - 80/120 (disregard written score on the target!)
** 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 my wife check my scores for fairness, just to be sure! |

Ah you sneaky devil, I wanted to be first again.
Looks like it's 12 shots at the target and not 17. I may try this one with my new 2240 with the 14" barrel and shoulder stock, guess that will make it my rifle shoot? Is that considered a rifle now? Maybe not, maybe it's still a pistol with a steadying aid??? |

My target did not print very dark, making some yellow spots hard to see. (Excuse #709 ) Steyr LP1, Rws pellets, Standing one hand, 5 meters, 9 minutes, 100/120. Do I get credit for 5 good sighters (5 hits at 0 points each equals )

Two things for all of you...
Item Number 1
Does anyone know how to make the target not rip?
My IZZY 46m shoots at a low velocity, and I think that rips the target more.
I thought about putting a piece of construction paper behind the target(?)
Anyone have any ideas?
Item Number 2
Where are all of our shooters?
We need more people to shoot this match! : )
Where's Redstone and under500fps and Bhargav, and others??? We miss you guys! |

I usually put a new piece of thin cardboard behind my target when I want clean round holes. I don't do it all the time, mainly once a week for these target shoot. |

I use a heavyweight paper from a Meade drawing pad. It is 9 inches wide so you have to trim a 1/2 inch to get it in the printer, but it cuts almost as good as target paper. |

Mar/Woody61,
Great ideas, both of you!
I'm going to try that with the next target. I hate the way the IZZY rips the target so bad.
My dad just finished the most sweet pellet trap I have ever seen for me. He is a woodworker, and it even has a handle! Way too cool! It will allow me to just "slip in" a "backing" sheet behind the target, and that should solve the ripping problem. We'll see how it works.
But the new pellet trap is cool! I'm afraid to try it out, if I hit the edge of it I'll cry!
Also, I finally got all the parts for my Air Force Talon, so I'm hoping to sight that in and shoot it yet this week...
See ya later... |

Good deal Bhargav!
Boy, do I know what you mean!
I have literally shot and posted my score in like 15 minutes, RIGHT before the match was supposed to end!
I had just so much going on that week, etc!
Now I start "trying" to shoot on Tuesday night and hopefully actually do so by Sunday night! |
