How big is the white circle in the middle? I printed out the 15 target type at work and won't be back there until Monday. The circles are 1" on the 15 target one.

This is the 5 Gamo target sheet....the white is 20mm and the "10" is 9.5mm (Could be 10mm).



Shot these targets right after sighting in a .177 Crosman Storm XT springer and the PCP .22 Air Arms 410 SL carbine. Since I had the 410 in hand....I used it for this first 10 meters air rifle off-hand shooting. Shot abit late and ended up with the last 10 shots using the Illuminated Recticle....last shot fired at 6pm.



.22 AA410 SL carbine with a 3X12-50mm Baska scope....used 5X magnification....used .22 Crosman Premier Hollow Point pellets -3C temperature, no wind



Score of 170 with one bullseye (top left sheet (bottom left target))....wasn't exactly sure how to score if pellet cut a line...so I took the lower score. Pellet holes are difficult to see in the photo....sorry.

Thanks Stan! That's the same print-out as I got. But now the ink on my printer is starting to fade and get 'wavey?!?!?' looking. Next DA question.....So you only use on sheet of these targets per five shot group to equal 20 shots?!? Never mind,....I think I figured it out with the points thing. Duh-huhhhhhh So if you hit inside the smallest ring, than that's ten points right?!? No extra for the Bull's-eye,...Ten targets equals 200 possible points scorable!!! Hey this sounds cool,...and at 11 yards too! Can't wait to try this!!! tjk
PS I thought these dang printers were supposed to tell you when the ink well starts running dry?!?!? Is there a way to test or 'scan' the printer for ink levels?????

I scored your targets and I got ; starting top left 42, 42 , Ottoman left 46, 44 for a total of 174 and they're a couple that might even score a point or two more . If it touches the next scoring ring it counts the higher value , that's the way I always played the game. And a coring tip for all : if you're shooting round nose pellets and one is close to the line, insert a pellet carefully into the hole and see if the skirt touches the line , if it does it counts . kirby

Howdy Folks!!! Here're my results. I'd like to thank Mike Mellick for the work he performed on this rifle,....and Wes Combs who sold me this rifle!!! Keep up the awesome grades "Fly-Boy"!!!!! My Fav indoor plinker for sure! First off a few apologies,....I think the ink's drying up on my printer,...Sorry. Second,...since I haven't read the official NRA rules of scoring,...I went with the score number that the most of the pellet hole penetrated. Third,....I'm not sure this is the best paper to use for target shooting,..but it's what I had on hand. One thing I did forget was to mention the time. It was about 1:30 PM EST. My Rig is pretty simple, just a Med powered rifle, tac scope rail, and a cheapo Tasco scope from Wal-mart,....3-9X40,...I think?!?!? Frames two and three,,...I was pretty much out to lunch!!!! But one ,four, and five were about the usual avaerage window of "Non-Competitive" shots. tjk

This is cool. Just shot mine, pic attached I hope. I actually shot 5 rounds, am I allowed to write off the lowest one???

If yes I shot 171, if not - 167

The gun - .22 disco with 3-9x40 Leapers scope, pellets Crosman Premiers. The range - inside my house.

The cold medicine I took last night and am still hang over from certainly did not help.

I just shot this match ... but I have to "cheat" somewhat - lol.   Since my spinal surgery last summe, although I have total usage of my arms and legs, I only have very limited feeling in my legs and feet .... and slight intermittent loss of feelimg in my hands - Sigh !  So these days I mostly shoot sitting on a very low canvas camp-stool .... a bit awkward but still gives me some trigger time.    My score was 199

: Jerrycup February 07, 2009, 08:20:44 AM
Bill, can you point me to the rules for scoring each shot?
I had thought that the hole had to be fully within a ring to count for the higher score...
Wrong? What are the visual criteria?
: Re: Match # 1 Post your offhand scores here
: tjk February 07, 2009, 09:56:33 AM
I don't know much about those rules Jerry,...but I think I could have benefitted from the five shot per frame and dropped the worst score!!!!!!!! LOL's Oh well,...too late now. Oooops, sorry, I did it again RJ. tjk 8)

: airgunandy February 07, 2009, 10:52:06 AM
OK, I gave it a shot (well, 20 actually).

Excuses:
No practice, the target looked like a bowl of black Cheerios, and a light wind was blowing from right to left.

Rifle:
"Crazy Ivan" - .177 caliber IZH IJ-22 Soviet-made springer (IZH guns are target guns, right?)

Ammo:
Daisy Precision Max pellets

Score:
Near as I can tell, 137.
I have other guns I might could do better with (they are scoped!) but I like to shoot this old Cold Warrior.

I haven't found any Official Rules for this match, only recommendations for the match !



But in International Shooting, as well as NRA Matches, if your shottouches the line, you receive the higher score. So say that you shot hits the line between the 7 & 8, you receive the higher score, an 8 ..



I hope this helps !

: RE: Match # 1 Post your offhand scores here
: kirby999 February 07, 2009, 02:13:54 PM
Yep, that's how I always played the game . if it touches the line of the higher scoring ring , you score it the higher ring . kirby
: RE: Match # 1 Post your offhand scores here
: preez February 07, 2009, 02:32:04 PM
If we're playing by that rule, I need to change my scores...

I went by center of the shot.

It would be 171 for rounds 1-4

How many targets were we supposed to shoot? 4 or 5?

This was quite the challenge for me. I really enjoyed this and found that I really need some practice. I used my hunting "sighting" technique to get my shots off and for the most part it worked for me.

Setup is:

1322 PSP Crosman Conversion
14.3 Crosman Pointed (weighed)
Bushnell 4-14 power Sportsman on 5 power set to 12 yards objective
8 pumps per shot for about 415fps/shot

I had a hard time finding a way to take a picture that would show the shooting clearly enough and ended up taping it to a light to show the contrast between target and shots. As you probably know, Crosman pointed don't cut paper. They punch through paper making it harder to read.


My scores are based (on the paper) by "If you touch a particular line you get the lesser number". If I went with Bill's post as to counting it would be 178.

Great fun though.

Mick;



Nice shooting, too. That will take squirrels out to fifty yards. I had squirrels in the yard today, but they were busy with making little squirrels, and I don't shoot the little buggers, when they are making more little buggers. That would be counter productive.



I'll try to post tomorrow. I guess I can print the target?

No target pics because my scanners dead.  Rifle is an AA S200 .177, scoped with a Burris Timberline 4.5-14x32 at minimum mag, RWS SuperMag pellets, shot at 10M in my shop, off hand.  Score of 47, 45, 49, 48 for a total of 189.  Guess I need to practice some more.
