August target challenge

[dsdmmat]

I tried to do the August challenge the other day with my pistol. I was running some kind of shitty factory ammo. My shots roll over the paper. Yes, I'm blaming the ammo. I've got some handloads and I'm going to go back out, possibly today.

post up what kind of ammo you were using so we all can avoid it. LMAO

After last month, my Buckmark needs a cleaning before I try the pistol match, that means resighting the red-dot in.

Got my recalled Ruger MK IV frame back yesterday, still need to clean the damn thing.

Dirty gun excuse.

Dirty gun excuse.

More of a statement of me being a lazy bastard. I couldn't shoot it for a week since it had no grip and I still failed to clean it. Lmao.

 

[Eddie Gunks]

LOL, the maximum range of an excuse is 0 yards. Every printer being used today can print 8 1/2x14 as easily as it can print 8 1/2 x 11. The real reason people don't do these challenges is because they are skerd to show the world how piss poor of a shooter they are in real life compared to how great of a shooter they say they are on the internet.

This is that 10lbs in a 5lbs sack idead huh?

My printer tray only accepts 8.5x11 paper.

I guess i could cut off 3 inches to make it fit the tray......

What kind of printer do you have? It does not have the capability for single feed? Must be a democrat printer.

 

[ManrisFrack]

So who is going to shoot August's Challenge? Don't be shy, lots of time left.

I'm going to. I do want to play with the COAL of my plinking load and see if I can get it tighter first though.

Maybe. But I'm not sure it's going to feed very well with 3 inches of paper taped onto the other 11 inches. Ha ha Ha

 

[nortatoga]

Well I got some 8.5x14 paper at work, will have to give it a try

 

[S&W Fan]

Hell, we haven't even finished with the August challenge yet and everybody is worried about next months extended paper target??
Now that's funny.

Cool! Any chance you could post or send me these early? I might have time on the 1st or 3rd for this.

I will post them on the 27th with the rules.

Who is going to shoot the challenge this weekend?

 

[dsdmmat]

@NYGuns you are slacking, last weekend was perfect for shooting.

 

[Podmonkey]

I wonder if it's that people are shooting the match but are not posting till a winning score is achieved?

Could be, but that would be foolish, everyone should know @NYGuns gives everyone a subscription to Girls and Guns magazine at the end of the month just for playing.

 

[nortatoga]

Here is my official August pistol target!
Browning Buckmark
Bushnell Trophy Red Dot
CCI-SV ammo
Score a 46

 

[Podmonkey]

Kee-ripes @nortatoga! You did better with your .22 Buckmark pistol than I did with a pretty acurate AR! I'm using the LC XM193 as my scapegoat. Yeah, that's right @Bullet Guy, its the ammo!

To be fair I'm just as bad of a shot in real life as I say I am on the internet.
Will shoot this with the first of my handloads. Maybe this Friday if I feel like calling in sick.

Good Luck! Its to your credit to simply post a target round here!

 

[nortatoga]

I have a F-class this coming Saturday morning and a CMP Rimfire Spotter practice match in the afternoon! So maybe after if I'm not to beat I can do the 25 yard and 100 yard matches?

What are those made of? Looks like someone shaped some pool noodles.
