Came pretty close to the right ones boob.

Noticed the "Boob Close" shot - that's a lot of penalty points.

At least he didn't peg "Wonder Woman's" nip!

Yeah when I saw that I said to myself man that would have hurt my score if I had hit her in the boob.

10 more days until it closes. Let's see them targets.

Guess I'm gonna have to borrow a 22 from @NirvanaFan

Let's go shooting next weekend. I'm a little busy with Christmas but should be able to go out on the 31st.

 

[Cleck]

I'm down for that. If we're lucky, we can also bring out my new 308 and shoot that too. Assuming everyone caved to my demands at home

Question: how do you shoot a rifle off-hand, not supported? I'm guessing that's only for the pistols?

3rd picture is off hand rifle unsupported position, notice the position of the arms. The first and second pictures are off hand supported.

 

[nortatoga]

Ok next ? Pistol off-hand one hand like Bullseye?

That's what I thought, like Bullseye! Now if I can get my printer working!!

I figured at 10 yards the standard combat grip, weaver or isosceles stances would be little challenge if any for most people.

 

[Cleck]

That makes more sense. NF told me that pistol offhand unsupported can be 2 hand, but like you said, at 10 yards with a 22, it's not a big challenge.

Try shooting it with the cup and saucer hold or the wrist hold, then you will see why most instructors cringe when they see people doing that.

I had a lieutenant tell me she didn't need to attend my Primary Marksmanship Instruction class because the Sergeant's Major showed her all she needed to know. Being we were in front of 30 people seated for the class and I wanted to avoid 5 other LT's thinking they could get out of the class. I took the bait and said, "ok Ma'am please show me your grip on this weapon." She proceeded to interlace her fingers around the M9's pistol grip. Then I said, "ok ma'am now show me a magazine change." I caught the weapon before it hit the ground and told her to, "have a seat and forget everything the Sergeant's Major told you." There were a lot of snickers in the classroom that morning.

 

[Cleck]

I'll admit, I learned one way, which was illustrated in the Wish List thread, but have evolved to this:

Maybe with my thumbs a little lower to avoid getting bit, heh.

 

[dsdmmat]

I used to have to do a lot of weak hand stages during my IPSC days. That is a fun and exciting thing to do the first time with a major power factor 38 super load in an uncompensated gun.

The challenges are hard for a purpose, to make you practice to become a better marksman.

Identify deficiencies and improve. I'm glad you started this challenge thread. It gets my lazy ass to the range in less than perfect weather and helps me focus on what I truly enjoy, shooting and guns.

 

[nortatoga]
