TGO Monthly Shooting Contest - September 2009

[Guest JHatmaker]

Here is the September 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.) No pistol magnification scopes (red dot's ok)

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:

September Rules:

1) 10 yards

2) Two handed, Isosceles Stance (legs shoulder-width apart and the knees slightly bent; extend both arms out in front of you and lock the elbows; lean your upper body toward your target)

3) Post a picture of the target and gun together

Good luck, have fun, and be safe!

Alright, I'm gonna participate this month. My brother and I shot last week and realized that we suck terribly with weaver stance. Even if it sucks I'll post my target.

[Guest JHatmaker]

It's all about having fun.

[Angus]

Fun?...Fun you say? Damnit man, this is serious stuff, theres sun in yer eyes, sweat on yer brow, yer underwear feels like it's on sideways...and thats just the DRIVE to the range.....OMG!! The pressure....

Ok, just kidding...see you in 30 days hopefully

[Guest Tiny G]

AMMO HUNT !!!!!!

I might have to dip into my Zombie reserves this month. 6 months in a row at the range can hurt the pocket book and I've got my eyes on a Buckmark for my next purchase.

[Guest JHatmaker]

Zombie reserves, I like that. I too once had around 5000 rounds stored away, it's quickly dissappearing.

Man I guess I need to start buying ammo, I have never owned more than about 500 rounds at one time in my life.....

[stahlmangc]

Speaking of ammo - I am assuming 10 shots again this month?

Gray

Ooops, sorry, missed it in the instructions. Duh!!!

It'll always be 10 shots.

I was sighting in my wife's Model 66 Crimson Trace Laser grips yesterday and this was my final target. She will now be "dead eye Dick :death:" when the bad guys come in the house.

S&W Model 66 .357 4" revolver (Sweet trigger)

.38 special reloads, 10 shots

10 yds with Isoceles Stance

I DID use the Crimson Trace Laser to shoot this. There was nothing in the rules prohibiting it

Useltons Indoor Shooting Range - 9/17/2009

Score 100

You know what? I completely forgot to add that rule, good call, DISQUALIFIED!!

Just kidding, nice shooting. That one shot is right on the line, but it counts none-the-less. Looks like a shoot-off at the end of the month...

[Guest mjnsx07]

Gray, That is some nice shooting.

Yeah, sorry, I'll post in a bit.

[Guest JHatmaker]

Ok, we had two 100 point shooters this month, but mjnsx07's group was a little tighter, so I'll give the nod to him.

[stahlmangc]

I agree. Gives me something to work on.

Gray
