TGO Monthly Shooting Contest - July 2009

[Guest JHatmaker]

Here is the July Shooting Contest information. Remember, you can win free ammo!!

1.) Be safe!

2.) Must use the target below (follow link for printable target); also write your screen name, gun, ammo, date etc. on the target.

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 contestant 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/.22 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. And please mark on your target if it's a rimfire submission.

Within those two divisions will be a women's division as well (not that men are better shots or anything).

IMPORTANT - Please feel free to congradulate and encourage everyone on their shooting when you submit targets, all I ask is that if you do reply to someone's post, please DO NOT include the picture of their target, this makes it harder for me to go through all the submissions to determine the winner. Thanks for understanding!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*The person who has the most wins (men and women) at the end of the year will each receive 2 boxes (100 rounds) of target ammo on me (upon availibility/pistol ammo only/I choose brand/Rimfire winner gets .22LR ammo). I'll mail ammo for those located in either West of East Tennessee. In the event of a tie, the scores from each month will be added to create a final score; if a tie continures after that, we will have a "shoot-off" with 2 targets per person, 5 shots each, one target shot at with right hand, one target shot at with left hand. If a tie STILL exists, we'll have a good ole' fashioned dual, and whoever is the last one standing wins. If both fall I keep the ammo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here's the target for this competition:

[mk19]

thats just downright mean J

my thoughts exactly.

what size paper are we supposed to print the target on? 8x11?

[Guest foister82]

i can use .22 correct?

[xd shooter]

lol this should be interesting with my skeeter

.45 only...

I think I will try .22.

Can I use my 18" barrel 20ga??

It is a pistolgrip:tough:

[Guest foister82]

lol well i'd hate to see what the glock 22 .40 would look like weakhanded. J, why not go all out and make it weak hand, limp wristed gangster style?

[Guest mustangdave]

To easy???

[Guest JHatmaker]

Yes, you can use .22LR.

You never know when you'll be confronted by a threat 15 yards away where your strong hand is unavailable and you have to hit them right b/t the eye's.....

[Guest tnmale46]

my thoughts exactly.

what size paper are we supposed to print the target on? 8x11?

4 ft x 8 ft.??

[Garufa]

For some reason, this sounds like a good way to put your eye out.

[Guest foister82]

i printed off 10 targets here at work and a lady at the corporate printer let out a nice little "what the crap!"

I'm excited to get to the range.. havent shot lefty since my stepdad's old 357 about 10 years ago.

[Guest BigShot]

I haven't run the toys left handed for a while myself.

This is gonna be a funny one.

[Guest Fwdftw]

Yea do we just print em on 8x11?

[Oh Shoot]

Yea do we just print em on 8x11?

Yes, the PDF file is formatted for letter size paper.

- OS

[Guest Jason F.]

Not a freakin chance!

If I do go to the range instead of shooting and IDPA match this month I might give it a whirl again but I bet I will have a tough time getting it on the paper at 15 yards weak handed.

[Guest foister82]

had to take the pic with my cell camera... horrible quality and it was about to storm so i snapped it kinda quick. I did 5 attempts and sadly this is my best... lol

3 paper hits but 0 points

4 6 pointers

2 10 pointers

1 i think is a 9 it's right on the edge of 9 and 10

so... i guess that's 53? lol

the paper on the left that my gun is sitting on is one of my other attempts, i folded it in half to put my mosquito on that way you could see it against the color of my car's carpet. the paper (which cant be read in this picture) says

Foister, Sig Mosquito, 22lr, CCI minimags, and score=horrible

[Motasyco]

Are optics permitted?

[Guest JHatmaker]

Are optics permitted?

No, sorry...

[Guest BigShot]

Went out to the Hafner Gun Club and peppered six targets. My lefty shootin' sucks real bad... not one was worth braggin' on. Hope ya'll have better luck.

[Guest BigShot]

Tried again to get'em all on one target. Did better!! Here's the best one of the day with my weak hand. Probly not a winner but an improvement.

Oh yeah... does the one outside the 5 ring count for anything?? a 4 maybe? Anyways, 69 to 73 still needs some practice. :-\

[Guest foister82]

nice man that's alot better than my best attempt and i was using rimfire

[Mike.357]

oh man, the month is about over and I forgot about this.

Maybe I can get it in tomorrow morning.

I wonder if I can hit anything offhanded.
