After four months, we finally have the results.
I will leave it to each of you to add whatever commentary you feel appropriate
Thanks to all for participating. I had a great time doing this.
I did place first in one category: smallest group - with a 2-3/4" group on my slow fire .22 target.
UMGUD gets honorable mention with a 3-1/8" group on his .22 slow fire.
Shooter2.5 had the smallest centerfire group with a 4" group on his slow fire target.
I was itching to get into a match to see if I could still shoot straight. Remebering NRA postal matches from high school, I immediately thought that FR would be a good place to find like-minded souls lookin' to do some shootin'.
I was right, quite a few expressed interest and I had to turn several away. After a few mis-steps, the participants finally got their targets.
I shot the match on a windy day that had the target holders spinning in their stands. For the .22, I used a Ruger MkII 6-7/8" SS fairly stock except for the grips and a target trigger.. For centerfire, I used a S&W 6" L Frame 586 in .38 - again stock except for trigger and grips. Ammo was S&B wadcutters and Federal match .22's.
I was not especiallly happy with my scores, but considering that I last shot in a match 10 years ago (with younger eyes), I'll take what I got.
What we have here are 16 winners, everyone got to go out and improve their marksmanship, have fun, and learn a little about their abilities.
Congratulations to Shooter, umgud, 5madman and chookter on their outstanding performance.
If I get any more targets, I will post the revised list, but I am sure most of you were as anxious as I was to see where you stood.
Thanks again to all !
Center fire:
Ruger Blackhawk 7 1/2" barrel .45LC SSA
255 grain hand cast (wheel weights) semi-wadcutter.
7.4 grains Unique smokeless powder
Rimfire:
S&W model 22A 5 1/2" barrel
Federal 22LR JHP
The other big news here is that Mrs. Ibbryn whooped Mr. Ibbryn in all categories except one. We know who's struttin in that home for a while.
Smith and Wesson 22A with Winchester Super X. Springfield Armory Trophy Match with PMC 230 Grain hardball.
It was really really fun!--and gave me an excuse to take off work early and head to the range.
Lotta good shooters here. I'm happy to have finished in the middle of the pack with some really good shooters!
I shot the centerfire with a Magnum Research mkVII .44 mag Desert Eagle shooting PMC ammo--240gr jhp.
Man, I love the Desert Eagle--it's a handful, but very satisfying to shoot and capable of very fine accuracy.
I did not want to keep eveyone in suspense waiting for targets that may never arrive, so I went ahead and posted the scores.
I will amend the scoring to include any late returns as they arrive.
It's a great gun, my score is purely the shooters fault. The only thing I'm less than thrilled about with it is the take-down. Why did you choose it?
