Score: 25 of 30
Here is a picture of my reworked target setup for shooting our SH monthly 200 yard 5x7 inch gong (left), and our 100 yard 3-1/2 inch Round gong (right). The 4x5 inch gong in the middle is used for spotting shots (at least it was today) before starting my record scoring string of shots from each distance.
I like this setup as it allows me to setup everything out at 200 yards first, then after I'm done with that shooting I just move it in to 100 yards.
The 100 yard 3-1/2" round target I reworked to make it a swinger hanging off 'all thread ready rod' behind the angle iron.
I prefer this setup over my little 3 disc setup that I just stick in the ground. I no longer have to walk down range and reset the little 3 disc swinger anymore from the hits that eventually push it backwards at an angle. I'm sure you guys and gals know what I mean. Also, if the range grass gets a bit deep - my targets are still above it.

Re: SH October Rimfire Comp. Scores
Hello Top Predator. Say, there's a little mix up on your 200 yard reporting of scores above. I high'lighted them with ***
Were they shot 'prone' or bench?
If you could edit them I'd appreciate it. Thanks! By the way, good shooting my friend!

Re: SH October Rimfire Comp. Scores
Hi guys, I have a couple of questions. First off, can you edit your scores in your post during the month if you should shoot a better score? Also, I don't use a rear bag on any of my scored targets but I was wondering if a small ball held in my left hand would constitute a "rear bag" or is it OK? It does not come into contact with the rifle. Let me know what you think.
This monthly shoot is a lot of fun and really helps keep me focused during a shooting session, wish more guys would join in.

Re: SH October Rimfire Comp. Scores
Hello Steve, glad to see you getting into this thing. As to the first question, there should be no editing of scores as per the following rule;
9. There are a total of 8 Matches. You may enter a score for any number of these matches each month that you wish to shoot in - <span style="text-decoration: underline"> </span> but you may only enter a score once for each match you choose to shoot in per month. <span style="text-decoration: underline"> </span>
Personally, I don't see where holding onto a small ball with your left hand would be a rules violation, so unless someone brings down the roof on our heads over this, I wouldn't worry about.

Re: SH October Rimfire Comp. Scores
Personally, when I treat it like a match... in other words, I force myself to declare it a match prior to shooting. I figure that this is the best way to make this more like a true match. Weather conditions will vary from location to location, so it is less like a match that way. But if I decide that I am shooting for practice and shoot a great score I won't post it. Or if I declare a match and shoot a lousy score, I won't shoot again for an improvement. There is always next month.
I am not saying that everyone should hold themselves to this standard, but I think it makes it more challenging. And more challenging in the end is more rewarding. For instance, I didn't like the no rear bag rule at first, but now I really enjoy it for this very reason. That is also the fun of shooting 22LR long range. My local range only goes to 300 yards, so I get the challenge of shooting long range on a short range. To shoot longer, I have to drive to my ranch, which I can't really do during the week and can't do every week.
BTW... I shot some of the best scores ever off of a bench this month. I wanted to post pictures with b/c they are awesome.
And then I shot my worst prone at 100 so far. Just 1 target (I shoot 10 per target) screwed me.

Re: SH October Rimfire Comp. Scores
maybe i should put this in the "lessons learned" thread, but ...i like to treat it as a match also, and dedicate the scores as such. it tends to put a little more pressure on you to perform whether the weather or yourself is not in the best shape on the day you decide to shoot...
watch out for carter, he's a ringer!
perhaps maybe we should claim a weekend date to shoot and everyone shoots and posts by that monday. if you get a crappy day of weather, you get dealt a bad hand, but it'll stop the gaming of waiting for just the right conditions. eventually i'd believe the weather factor would even itself out.

Re: SH October Rimfire Comp. Scores
Like Carter and Top, I approach these matches the same way. I do allow a few rounds for sighting shots then it's into the competition of the matches a choose to shoot that particular month. I figure I'm either going to do good - fair - or poor, but it'll get reported no matter the outcome, (as you guys know from my previous scores).
It would be kind of nice to set up a few matches on a particular weekend using Saturday and Sunday (Matches start your local time at 8:00AM on a Saturday & Sunday morning) and all scores must be reported no later then midnight on Monday.
I say midnight on Monday because some may have to drive quite a'ways to shoot at their range. Maybe we could hammer out some details of a match and give it a try. Maybe even up the number of shots? Should we start a new thread to discuss this in?
Does the ball in the hand effect what we're doing here? If it does we will have to create/add a more clear rule or ruling on this. I can only really speak for myself on this so I would like some input from you guys, as my words certainly are not the final word by a long shot. We're doing this together.
Also, some pictures would be nice my friends. Kind to get to see where everyone is sending lead down range and the conditions.

Re: SH October Rimfire Comp. Scores
OK guys here is what my range sessions consist of, feel free to critique. First off I bought this rifle to train and work on my marksmanship so that is my primary goal, but the matches make things much more interesting. I have made 4 or 5 trips to the range so far in Oct.
I first shoot 3 or 5 shot groups at a 50yd target consisting of 20 1" circles with a small center dot. I use a rear bag at this point. It is a warm up and gives me an idea of the wind. I then staple up the TQ4 at 100yd. I put away the rear bag and use a small rubber ball held in my left hand, I have been shooting exclusively off a bench. My shooting mat got delivered today and it is pretty sweet deal from Midway for $24.99 so I'll be shooting prone soon! I can't shoot steel targets at the range so my "gong" is a 3" ShootNC, I put 2 of them in the corners of the target. I shoot 15 sighters at one of the ShootNC targets to check out windage and elevation. I then shoot my "match" consisting of 30 rnds. at the TQ4 followed by 15 at the 2nd "gong"(30 rnds. at a 3" ShootNC makes a messy target), I only score the 2nd gong, not the best out of the two.
I then move to the 200yd lane and staple up the A-21 that has my 2 "gongs" that are 6" ShootNC circles in the lower left and right corners of the A-21. I again shoot 15 "sighters" at the 1st gong to check out windage and elevation. Then I shoot the 30 rnd match on the A-21 followed by 15 rnds. at the 2nd gong.Again, I only score the 2nd gong, not the best of the two.
Should I eliminate the sighter targets to be more of a purist? I've never been involved in competitive shooting although I would really like to participate in some kind of tactical/long range rimfire event if it was somewhat local(2-3hrs. drive). Do Long range shooters get any sort of sighter shots or is it a cold shot to start the match? Also ,if the litle ball I squeeze is an issue with anyone here shooting these matches I will stop using it, no big deal. I just think this is something I would carry into the field if I was going to be shooting from a prone position. Well that is my current routine, so feel free to critize or suggest other techniques to try.

Re: SH October Rimfire Comp. Scores
i think we should keep the lessons learned in theLEARNINGS FROM RIMFIRE COMP THREAD
and the scores seperate. the learnings thread has some good tips in it, and if we keep them all together, we can all benefit.
the only .02 i have on the ball is that we all do it or not, to keep methods equal, and if we use a ball we might as well use a rear bag. (actually the idea of carrying a ball in my pocket in the field for use as rear support never crossed my mind and seems like a good idea / tip that i'll start trying rather than trying to get the backpack in the right spot.)
i'm thinking upping the number of shots would be counter productive, as what more can you do with 50 rounds as compared to 30? even 25 shots would be nice to keep the different styles of the comp to equal using all of the box of ammo and not have partially used boxes hanging around.
pictures of groups wouldn't be a bad thing, probably keep folks honest too. but that's up to you guys. i like the idea of a designated date to shoot, however we only have a handfull of guys doing this now, and perhaps too many restrictions may change others minds on participating.
i would support a fee for a target competition (much like smack the smiley) where someone collects an entrance fee, mails a target gets it back and scores it. the entrance fee would cover prizes and the cost of the targets. even a once a year one would be neat, and may attract more shooters to our thing. the prizes don't have to be big, a brick of ammo, a backpack, maybe lowlight would throw in a SH tee shirt, a gift card, etc.
biggest thing is to keep the fun in this though, and i have learned alot from comparing notes with the 4-5 shooters we have now. it's been a good way to improve my shooting and exploit the effectiveness / economy of the .22 as a trainer.

Re: SH October Rimfire Comp. Scores
I like the idea of pics of the winning targets. Again, it is the honor system as to distance and following the rules (no rear bag, etc.). But pics from the winner is not such an onerous thing to ask. And the winner should post those voluntarily to keep the work at a minimum.

Not a bad idea, but I don't think there are to many folks willing to post their home address on the internet as they want to protect their privacy, which I whole heartedly agree with them.
A good case in point would be all the nick-names all of us go by here, and on other sites, rather then posting our real name. I just can't imagine anyone posting their personal address.
As Carter pointed out, these matches are on the honor system as to distance and following the rules. We really have no way of knowing for sure if the rules are being followed like we do at a 'hands on' match with others participants shooting right next to us.
I feel our honor system works well, and we've made it competitive through some challanging matches that allow all of us who take part to experience some new kind of shooting and to sharpen our marksmenship skills. Who knows, maybe someday the very matches we shoot here may be duplicated at some gun club's range for a weekend of shooting? You might say the matches we offer here with the rules and guidelines is our training ground for that day to come?
I would like to see more pictures from the participants. I think they'd be a welcome addition that all of us would enjoy.

Re: SH October Rimfire Comp. Scores
p.m. the addresses to an administrator would keep it private, plus you'll know the adminstrator's address also.
no big deal though, i thought i'd throw that suggestion out to help pull in some more shooters.
i'll edit my posted scores with photos as soon as i get em scanned. i had to use a target that i use for practice as i ran out of the normal tq-4 and a-21. it's using the same dementions as the tq-4 and a-21 and has a simulated gong superimposed over it. it's kinda killing two birds with one stone.

Re: SH October Rimfire Comp. Scores
Just a heads up guys. I doubt I'll be shooting in any more of these competitions until Spring of next year. I have modern and muzzleloading deer seasons coming up in November and December, as well as the varmint (Coyote) hunting to do through the colder months. Then there is the holidays as well, so I don't see myself having much spare time for our competition here until Spring of 2010.
Good luck to you all who continue on with the competiton through the Fall and Winter. I'll check in off and on when time allows. Who knows, maybe next year we'll gain a few more shooters?

Re: SH October Rimfire Comp. Scores
Sorry guys for not shooting Sept match, I was at the range every weekend but did not get to shoot.
About the ideas, If the targets must be bought and returned for score, then the person doing that will have another responsibility on top of everything else they do.
Posting the pictures, well I don't want to learn how. Call me lazy, ignorant, or a caveman. I am not very nerdly and want to focus the few brain cells that are free on things that please me.

Re: SH October Rimfire Comp. Scores
Thanks TP, I think I've figured it out. Pic of 10/10/09 TQ4 target with 3" ShootNC as gong. I warmed up on the lower left target, shot the 30 rnd TQ4 then shot 15 into the gong in lower right corner.

October Multiple Match Scores
I will get photos up later. My worst showing yet for both 100 yard and 200 yards. My 100 yards was close to perfect... it really could go either way, but I will give myself 299 and say better luck next time. You can see from the targets, it is really the first target I biffed. I bought a half case of this awesome ammo and after the weather changed, it is not so great any more.

Also, I have some targets from 100 yard bench that I will post, but I won't enter them because they were shot indoors! It would be against the spirit of the match to post them, but I got a 300-25X! It is also a true 100 yards whereas my outdoor scores are shot at 110 yards. I will try to figure out how to post pics later.

***STEVE, i don't know where to put you on the gong bench matches as you are shooting 3" "gong" at 100 with 15 rounds, and a 6" "gong" at 200 with 15 rounds.
the rest are shooting 3.5" at 100, 5"X7" at 200, both with 30 rounds.....great shooting on what you shot at, but you may be short changing yourself (for instace that one miss you have in the picture of the 200 yard looks like it would be a hit at 7", while the hole at 2:00 may be a miss at 5").
i can't come up with a fair ranking on your gong scores compared to joe on the bench matches. you guys can fight it out or come to a reasonable conclusion, if you want.
you still shot great, the important part is to learn, share, and have fun.
i know joe said he may be bowing out due to hunting season and such, but do you guys want to keep it going over the winter months?

Re: SH October Rimfire Comp. Scores
Excellent report TP!
Say, I'll try to shoot over the winter months when I can as I decided this afternoon to try and attend an Apple Seed Project event up around Cuter, SD in April of 2010,,, so's this old boy is going to have to do some practicing with the Aperture Sights on the 10/22. With that said, I may just as well take along the scoped Savage MK II-FVT when I can make it to the Range.
It would be a great relief if you could guide us through these winter months my friend.

Re: SH October Rimfire Comp. Scores
will do.
if you don't have the time to use the mkii why not use the 10/22 with open sights?

Re: SH October Rimfire Comp. Scores
Yeah, I have to make up some paper gongs in the right dimensions and shoot 30rnds at them. I tried to make a 3.5" circle in Excel and couldn't figure it out,I'm an idiot sometimes. I was able to make a 5-7" rectangle though. It's really not a big deal to me but I like the ShootNC targets at 200 since I can see the hits on them. Which way do you guys like to orient the 5x7 rectangle?
I plan to shoot as much as the weather/time allows this winter. I was out this afternoon and had very little wind but I could barely make out the targets due to a nasty glare from the sun.I had to dial the mag way back and it was still an issue. It's always something.

Re: SH October Rimfire Comp. Scores
you probably have microsoft publisher, click to start a blank project, click on insert on the top ribbon, find object or shape, pick a circle. then on the ruler, stretch out the circle until you hit 3.5" by 3.5".
i'd think if you have vertical tracking going on (up and down groups)as your picture of the a21 shows, you would want to go 5" across and 7" up and down.
by the looks of your picture, looks like your score would be around 26 to 28 out of 30 realm! good job.
IF THERE'S NO OBJECTION FROM ANYONE ELSE, ans since we are only shooting for fun, bragging rights, and knowledge, i would be ok with it if you cut out a 5"x7" rectangle and put the very center of it (fold equally vertically and horizontally) in the center of the A21, superimposing it on the A21, and posting a score based on the A21 group that's inside the 5"x7" area.

Re: SH October Rimfire Comp. Scores
Steve, thanks for posting those targets. I might suggest that you shoot 3 targets, ten shots apiece. I tried doing 2 X 15 and a few of the one-holers made it really hard to score. The real problem area is a cloverleaf on the X-ring, which I get all the time. And I can get a cloverleaf on the 9-10 ring on the 200 as well, though the shots are considerably more spread out, so it is not as big of a concern.
At any rate, nice shooting! I seem to be regressing every month. This month will be bad as I am going back down to 50 yards to do the Smack-The-Smiley competition. I admit that I like long-range a little bit more. There is more of a random element to it, though the smiley face strategy part of STS makes it a lot of fun as well.

Re: SH October Rimfire Comp. Scores
As promised, pics of the targets:
100 Yard Prone:
200 Yard Prone
100 Yard Bench (not counted)
I noticed after taking the pics that one of my 200 yard targets has 11 bullet holes. The way that I score is that I just subtract the number that falls out of the 10 ring. If it is an 8-pointer, I subtract 2 points, so the score I gave is a worst case. Still, if it is a DQ, I understand. This is weird as when I shoot, I lay out 10 cartridges for each target... it is awfully hard to shoot 11 holes with 10 bullets. I have no idea what happened there.
I didn't enter the 100 yard bench as it was shot indoors, but whoa! Those are some nice targets. One of the targets would have been perfect had it not been for one flyer that was way off!
Anyway... uploading pics is kind of a PITA, but it keeps me honest!

Trust me, in 30 shots, you will have clover leafs on the X-ring. That is why it was originally suggested to shoot 10 shots per target. I even tried 15 shots per target and it was a little rough.
