TGO Monthly Shooting Contest - April 2009

Several of us decided to start this back up, I don't believe it's been done since December of last year. Here are Rugerman's original rules (modified somewhat):

1. Be safe!

2. You may use any target you wish, but must be able to take an accurate/close picture of it.

3. Your submitted target must have 10 shots only on it. Best ten shot group wins. If you take 20 targets to the range that day and choose the best target of the 20, fine by me. Only one can be submitted per customer per month, though. (If you wish, you may submit a target for each caliber if you chose to shoot more than one gun, but only one taget per caliber per month per person)

4. Unless otherwise stated, we will not be shooting from a rest.

5. Have fun and get your friends involved!

6. To submit your entry, take a photo of your target (and because we love guns, have your gun in the picture, too so we can drool over your glocks, 1911's, CZ's, revolvers, etc.). Submit the photo in the thread for the month. If you have questions about uploading photos, feel free to ask. A number of people can help.

7. Past winners will be immortalized in a "hall of fame" list in each monthly thread for all to marvel at.

8. Entry's due the last day of the month, by 11:59PM and 59 seconds. Winners will be announced within a day or two.

9. There will be two divisions....centerfire pistols and rimfire pistols. You can shoot in either of those categories or both. It makes no difference to me. Just submit a different target for each if you want to do both.

UPDATE: Also, within those two divisions will be a women's division as well (not that men are better shots or anything), but instead of having two threads, we decided to combine them into one contest to get maximum participation.

Here's a printable target unless you prefer to use something else:

Rules:

7 yrds out

Any position, two handed

Post a picture of the target and gun together.

Enjoy!

Adjusted rules (target choice) and added verbage for women's division

7 yards, one handed.

45 LC 260g JHP @ 1000 FPS

No excuses I know! But this has been a difficult gun to get used to. We are still getting to know one another. Next month will be better. Promise.

I am fairly certain there was a target posted the other day. I think it got wiped out with the server problems. Can't remember who it was though.

Any chance we can get this a sticky instead of the one from December?

Does he get extra bonus points for doing it one handed on a two handed competition? :D

Actually, it was me that posted on the "lost day", but not looking for any bragging rights! Here it is again.

Was my first trip out with the new CZ. Got a little spazzy as you can see but it all worked out! Ammo used was S&B "Range Safe" 124gr.

Have you tired the Academy Sports in your area? I know the one out here in Franklin had plenty this past Friday. Then again it doesn't stick around long.

I shot today so I'll post my results this evening. Did both a .380 and .40 target.

How many bullets did you blow doing that! Must have been the world's suppy of .380. Apparently Sig's do shoot all by themselves. :hat:

Just kidding. Great job!!!

:hat: Just 1,000 rounds....j/k

3rd target was the best on the .380, 2nd was the best on the .40

I shed a tear every time I shot the .380, especially since it's so hard to find. I think I may just stick with the .40
