William Buck Memorial Postal Matches

[Gdawg09]

Here is my first try for the Factory Rifle Match and the JBell 6x5 Challenge. I'm using a CZ 457 MTR with Norma Match ammo. I did use the Balistic X iPad software to calculate the 6x5 scores so I hope I did it right. Please let me know if I did anything wrong. Thanks for doing this. This is fun.

Larry my competitive side jumped in to better my previous score. Tried to outshoot gdawg’s 188.
Came up short. Had a nice day to be able to get out and get some aroma therapy. Please replace my previous 194 score with this target.
Thanks

Hi Larry, Hope you are having a great Easter Sunday! let's start April off here is my first target for the month of April. weather warming up here.
I am curious to see how this long-range stuff will shoot in 100+ heat. lot I am shooting is rate 334 mps (1095 fps) so still under 1100 fps.

Thanks,
Lee

Thanks Lee! I've had a chance to shoot three different lots of LLR indoors, and some shows promise. Last week, I was able to get outdoors, and shot with my ammo (LCX/Midas), scored 2200-2300 on ARA target on each lot. When I then tried to shoot LLR on fresh targets, the stuff seemed to spray everywhere. Maybe it was me, with my wind hold-off which should have been much larger for LLR, but it mostly seemed to be the ammo. I have heard that the SLLR performs well so maybe try that if you get a chance, but I can't say what it shoots like outdoors.

I'll have your score posted in a couple of minutes.

Good luck!

Larry,

Thanks, I have tried both. now in two different rifles it does shoot fairly flat. this target for April was shot with my M12 and this target with my 1411. the lots I used were supposed to be under 1100 fps 1095 going by the box. I haven't really seen a difference on hold-offs.
but like all ammo you have to test and see I have one more rifle to try it in if it shoots the same, I will be convinced it is worth using.

[JohnMetcalf]

Larry, good afternoon. Glad to see you were able to shoot some.
Well, let’s get the factory match party started.
Not happy but it was still fun.
The score is 194 7X.
Have a good week

Hi Larry, here's my first try for April. I may give it one more run.
Thanks for doing this.
I saved a copy of the Ballistic-X marked-up target but it was too big to attach. Let me know you need it and I can send it separately to you.

Larry, good afternoon. I’m hoping you’re out shooting and getting some gun smoke aroma therapy.

Attached is my May Factory Match. Better than last month. Charlotte weather today was great, 72 and light winds. I’ll take it.

Stay safe and shoot straight,

Thanks John. I did have a good time, came in 7th out of 20 shooters, with an agg of 1991, in windy blustery conditions. It was a good day!

Good afternoon,Larry. Great weather here for shooting this morning. 72, partly cloudy, and basically light winds except for a few pesky gusts moving the target stand.

Is a Vudoo 360 considered match grade or unlimited? I see them in both classes

Match grade, but you have the option to shoot in a higher class, like Unlimited. Some rules vary by match, so be sure to check the rules attached in the first post.

Thanks,

Here are my mid-June attempts. I'm hoping to get another session in before the end of the month but wanted to get this posted for the heck of it.
Thanks for doing this. . . it is a lot of fun and I have 4 other members in my club shooting this as well, but they don't feel comfortable submitting just yet.

I would like to give this a go, I'll be shooting in the Unlimited class. What size paper are these targets set to be printed on. How will I know if they are the right size after I print them. This is an area I'm not very savvy in.

Am I correct in thinking the shot is scored best edge?

Thanks for the help.

Please use 8 1/2 x 11 paper for the targets. The rules in the first post will describe the scoring for each match type. Typically, most matches are best edge, but the JBell 6x5 is a group size match, so check the rules for the match you want to shoot. Thanks for joining in and good luck!

Gdawg, which set do you want me to post? I calculated your average for the target attached and it's .755in. Your prior target was better on the overall average, but not as good on your best group size. Let me know which set you want as your June submission.

Thanks,

Larry

How did you get Ballistic X on one page?

 

[Gdawg09]

Ah, then you can disregard the last one and stick with the former.

Sorry for the confusion.

Got'em!!!! Printed off about 50. After our Local ARA Match this Saturday....I'm gonna get it on!!

Thanks!!

 

[BowChamp]

Alright here we go!!! After my match today I broke out the targets and was getting ready to give it a go. One of the other members handed me a box of RWS R-50 and said try this. What the heck...free ammo......I'm game!!! I've been wanting to try some R-50.

Wind was 4 to 10 MPH and very switchy form 10 o'clock to 3 o'clock.

I shot four targets total with four different types of ammo. Here is the outcome of my very first target shooting ammo I've never shot before (R-50). Please let me know if I've made any mistakes on the scoring.

Thanks!!!

OK, off to an early start. I hope to reshoot later in the month and maybe improve, but at least I wanted to get these posted. Thanks for running this contest.
