Practice targets

[Don McDowell]

   
Found these on the "net" the other day, so I ran some off and give them a try at our weekly community indoor shoot and dinner. Might be a way for folks to keep their hand in the game waiting for the matches to get fired up. Shot at 50 ft, the sight picture is really close to what it is on the real range.

Looks like the pesky chickens are a problem no matter what the range

[Don McDowell]

Yes those dang things won't sit still long enough to shoot one,..

Here's the page I got those targets from http://www.vc4hss.com/22_Rifle/_NRA_SIL/SB_SIL_Info.htm

OK Don, now you done it Your practice target got me thinking. Why not. Been looking out of the windows and this is better then anything.
I went out and set up the target at a measured 60 feet but I could not make out the little black dots on the paper well enough with the tang sights so I put the DZ scope on the CPA 22 and set the parallax for 20 yards and got a zero on the lower ram.
I must say that it's not much of a challenge using a rest and scope at 20 yards but I walked down the line and when I got to the ram I used for finding my zero I went for the head shot.
Now if I could just do this at a match The rifle and ammo is capable of doing it.
It was fun. We will have to start a internet match going

77 degrees here today Kurt, the 44-100 sounds like a better idea.

But first a dab of SPF-50 Coppertone before I go prone...

[Kurt]

Nah! 77 and 30 mph winds is to hot to shoot! might get sand blasted.
We are having a heat wave here, gona be up in the 40's in a couple days and no wind

Well Zack you pull out a 22 and lets get it rolling.

Oh Kurt don't worry I done baited his and Z2's hooks last September at Raton and Glenda's 22 match... They own targets not long after they got home from that deal,,, bwhaaahhaaaaa, the dark side strikes again.
