I see the deal. You guys are conspiring with my wife to get new ink cartridges for my stupid printer and get it back attached to the network.

So the deal is print out the picture of the bottles and then shoot holes in the labels? What size is the paper? My printer does 8.5"x11" or whatever the standard size paper is. Been years since I used it.

 

[S&W Fan]

Yup, 8.5 x 11 is the target. Rules are in the first post.

Yup standard paper, 3 pts for the bottle, 5 for the big label, and 10 for the neck label. It's a different target every month, and dsdmmat makes a new thread for it each month.

So after all the math of the March Target Challenge you are probably ready to have a beer or 3. The next morning you wake up to a sea of international beer bottles in your yard and a headache. You gather them all up and take them to the range (there is no deposit on these bottles). What better way to cure a headache than with the smell of burnt gunpowder and loud noises? Make sure to clean up the broken glass before leaving the range.

If I get a chance to look at getting my printer working, count me in for April. Otherwise I will give May a go. This game limits what I can do because most of my guns are zero'ed at 200 or 300 (depending on scope manucturer). I think one of my 700 Police can do 100, and I know I can do 100 on the AR15 I just built. 25 I can't do - I never made a 25 yard range. I probably should, come to think of it. Maybe when I fix 500 and 600.

He should do one with Whiskey bottles. I can take pictures from my Whiskey collection for that month. Weird hobby, yeah I know. LOL

 

[Podmonkey]

What? You mean a gun forum should have shooters out numbering BSers?

God forbid. Too busy cut and pasting political click bait shit.

 

[dsdmmat]

May's pistol challenge will be weak handed only (one handed, and not your dominate hand)



Oh I am an evil bastard.......

 

[nortatoga]

At 2 yards right?

 

[dsdmmat]

At 2 yards right?

30 feet

 

[nortatoga]

Ok then the target must be the broadside of a barn?

 

[dsdmmat]

Here is a preview of the pistol target. The rifle target will be different than the pistol target for May. I will consider dropping the distance to 7 yards.

It's going to be @GOYABEAN 's favorite target!

You are.

Haha, I was thinking at least a grass mat size target at that distance off hand weak side. I like the broad side of a barn better.

 

[Podmonkey]

Looks like I won't be bothering with the pistol division again. All I got is two 9MMs.

 

[kev74]

If I shoot lefty its like someone else is shooting.

You can do it!

 

[Podmonkey]

Nope, not one handed. I just don't have the trigger time on pistols to be very good yet. We will see if a couple sessions on the silhouette range helps.

Give it a shot. Take your time and do it. If it sucks, don't post it.

The more you shoot, the better you get. Nobody wants to shoot weak hand, but its a valuable skill.

You're right it is. Alright you have convinced me, and I'll even post the target too. I guarantee you I will not hit a single thing. I might not even get anything on paper!

 

[kev74]

You'll do alright. Remember to use your open eye!

I try to shoot off had weak side every time I go to the range. Revolver or semi auto. Still need lots of practice. I''m in.

 

[dsdmmat]

It has been about 10 years since I shot weak handed. So this should be fun.

I think one of us is going to go to jail for accidentally shooting someone during this match.

It is like riding a bike or having sex right? You never forget how to do it.

I used to have to shoot weak handed at least one stage every match in my competition days. So it shouldn't be that bad.

I was thinking it was probably gonna be me.

 

[togmaster]

I'm all for challenges but shooting that pistol target weak handed even at 7 yds. is a bit much. Consider bringing is down to 5 yds or even 3. You might get more people to try.
