[Northerner]

yes, I need exactly that.

imschur, if you need any changes (fonts, colors, etc..) just let me know?

[techmike]

[Northerner]

i wish i shot that target!

i will be shooting my AR with a red dot from 50yds so i just hope im in the black!

[Elessar]

This looks like a lot of fun.  I'm trying it.  I'm having trouble printing the JPG without putting it into a document.  I haven't tried a program like photoviewer because I don't have anything like that at work.

I have been successful at putting the jpg into a word document and printing it full page sized.  Will that work?

[techmike]

As long as the outside diameter of the 6 ring is 7.5 inches, you're good!

[techmike]

Well, I have been very underwhelmed either by the response, or the mail delivery. I have one entry, so judging will be simple.... :confused:

[Microgunner]

Sorry, but I don't own a single scoped "tactical 22". Only irons and red dots.

All my scoped rimfires are of the frobidden tack driver variety.

[Northerner]

maybe you should have an iron sights shoot also?

why isnt anyone doing this? i cant be the only person with an AR and red dot scope?

techmike, did you get my target i mailed in?

[techmike]

Yes sir I did - so far, you are the Top Shot.... BTW, nice shooting! :thumb:

[justashooter]

Unfortunately, I just found out about this yesterday, and also do not have a tactical 22 (yet).

BTW, for future events you might consider using a PDF for the target - much easier to get scaled properly when printing.

[eeyore]

just couldn't get away from the shop to go some place and set up to do this...We might take a road trip to Pawnee Buttes this weekend...but will be to late ( Pawnee Buttes is a area that is open to shooting)

[techmike]

I am thinking I will extend the match a week......

[eeyore]

If you extend it...I'll drop mine in the mail on Tuesday! ...not that any of my shooting will probably measure up! but will try it with the GSG AK 47-22 and the S&W M&P 15-22!

[techmike]

Consider it officially extended a week.

[eeyore]

COOL. Really wanted to do this, but no way to get away from the shop and no place near by to shoot 50 yards (currently my son in laws cows are grazing in the area where I can set up)

[asmurff]

Fantastic! Life interfered (in-laws) this week on the 2 days I'd set aside to do this match.

[lmao_37]

I havnt be able to get to my friends where is shoot as he is a farmer and he is working all the time at the moment nearist rifle range to me got sold and is now a private shooting club iam just having trpible finding somewhere to shoot at the moment.

[Northerner]

somewhere to shoot?? get your ass out in the country and past the target to a fence post and take your five shots and head home or tape the target to a box and put it in a field or ditch and shoot it up!! no more excuses, get out and blow some shit up!  :thumb:

[Plinkster]

I would love to do this; however, I have open sites, and I'd have to travel at least an hour to an outdoor range here in the Peoples Republic of California to find 25 yards, etc.

It is a cool idea and I look forward to the results.

Good luck folks.

Crazy day...started out looking for 22 ammo...was a excuse to go to gun stores with my daughter...Grumpy LGS owner usually will not sell me ammo because I have never bought a gun from him let us have 100 rds, guessing because I my youngest daughter was in tow...

Oldest daughter called.  "They have 22lr at Cabelo's"  called wife, get her to head to Cabelo's, youngest Daughter and I also get headed. While oldest daughter is being a super shopper and trying to calculate round cost on the packaging...shelves almost instantly clear out of CCI Mini Mag 375 packs...but she at least had one in her hand...Wish she would have grabbed 4 peoples worth of limit and stuck it in the cart! but she didn't. but told us over the phone they had 100 round boxes and 50 round boxes.  well by the time youngest daughter, wife and I all converged, we did manage  to get 6-50 round boxes (2 Each) just moments before the shelves cleared. But all said and done, between the fire drill for Cabelo's and the Grumpy LSG ownere, 475 rds of CCI Mini Mags, and 300 rounds of CCI standard velocity....In one morning!!!!!

  The rest of the day...we spent getting ready for our trip to Pawnee Buttes to go shoot and set up for the Tactical Postal Match ...and of course the afternoon rain came...the wind came...and by the time we actually got started shooting, we lost light quickly, played with my M&P a little, took the red dot off, put on open sights...Mistake...tried to go back to the red dot, failed to get it sighted back in....Failed to take any shots on the Postal match Targets...

lol...guess I will try to slip over to family land tomorrow (hopefully the cows are not in the back ground and try again)

On a couple of notes, M&P continues to eat pretty much everything I put in it, I grabbed a older brick from my hoard, with out thinking it through, we were running Remington Vipers, Truncated cone Hyper Velocity, not sure if I should be shooting those in the M&P...But they ran well in both the M&P and Marlin 60 that my daughter was plinking away with. As we lost light, I got out my Purple Plinkinator, A Stevens 62, and did a little low light shooting through a scope at some spinners, It would not chamber the Viper's with the truncated cone, but ran fine on the few mini mags and standard cci's I put through it.
