Open invitation: Post target pics, range photos, etc
Posted: Fri Jun 26, 2015 6:55 amLet's have some fun here. Rather than everyone jumping in and posting pics in other people's threads, how about we start a dedicated thread for bragging? Anything you are pleased with or proud of from any shooting-type experience you might have had. Your best targets, scores, whatever.
I'll start with a couple of highlights from last weekend. First is a pic of my scorecard from one of the 600 yard matches on Sunday in Lacrosse. This is the best 600-yard score I have ever shot, and was also the best match score of the weekend after 480 20-shot matches were fired. There is generally no opportunity to take pictures of actual targets at these matches, as each shot is scored in the pits as it is fired, and when you are done, the next shooter fires on the same target. Just for reference, the X-ring is 6" across on this target, and the 10-ring is 12". My buddy was harassing me for the last month about the 200-15x he shot there a month ago, and it might be awhile before I top this score, so I took a pic of the card:
Next is my plot sheet from the 900-yard stage from Monday's 4-man Palma team match at Winnequah Gun Club in Lodi, WI. I am a member of the US National Rifle Team developmental program, so at larger regional and national level events, there is always someone plotting my targets to put in my file for future reference. When it's time to make team selections for major matches, one of the main criteria is a shooter's plots from previous matches. What they look for is tight elevation, centered on the x. For team tryouts, shooters lose points for any shot above or below the X-ring. How many points lost depends on how far high or low it is. The whole 15-shot group was about 7" tall. Since this was a team match, I had a coach that was making wind calls and was responsible for keeping me centered up left-to-right. It was an extremely windy day, and the coach did an outstanding job to only lose the 2 9's on shots 5 and 7. I was very happy with this:
