INTERNET SNUBBY MATCH

David R · May 29, 2014

Officers model series 80 aluminum frame 3" 25 yards.

This is the second target, I smoked the sights, used my Merrit optical thingy and rested on the railing of my back deck.

I had fun and needed to fire this thing.
I would keep trying but my neighbors must love me.

200 grain store bought SWC 5.0 Promo (red dot) AV 845 SD 14 from this gun 317 FPE. AV 929 from my 5" 383 FPE.

This is a blast, keep it up!

I really wanted to do this from the start but work and weather kept me from getting to the range.
I will definitely shoot this weeks though come hell or high water.

5-Shot · May 31, 2014

I went to the range again Thursday and did some more match shooting. Unfortunately for me, I didn't get the memo that the 25 yard match was changed to a bench rest competition. So here's my entry, fired off hand. The revolver is my trusty Mod 696...part of the reason for my board name. As you can see I like to flinch ever now and then.

The next two targets are at 10 yards with a Mod 36 and Mod 34. I kinda feel like the 34 is cheating. While it is a snubbie, 22's don't seem to be in the spirit of this match. Feel free to disallow it.

5-shot. Just go back and do it again. Nice 25 yard offhand target.

Thanks for the offer but my indoor range lacks rests. Normally I'd just head out back and shoot from my bench but we're currently having a run of those delightful Dixie days when both the temperature and humidity approach 90. I believe I'll pass. You guys have fun.

I like it! Just found out about thru the S&W Ampersand newsletter. Wish this had gone on a couple of years ago when I was really in training with snubs. I will try my model 15 at 10, and measure my Governor to see if it qualifies for the 25.
Timer? Timer? I don't want/need no stinkin' timer!

btw, this should be very instructive to those who think snubs are strictly point and shoot belly guns, good only for 7 yards and in...HAH!

Thanks! Would have liked to shoot the 25 yard portion with a 2 1/2" m19 but unfortunately my range is 50' max. Great idea for some friendly competition!

LJBrennan007 · Jun 2, 2014

WOW, great idea, I am gonna go out back and shoot some tomorrow for sure. Yeah, I have the M36 and M60 and Dick Special, but my Lew Horton M24 44 special just sits in the safe and begs to be shot! When I got it I worked up some good loads but then the gun got too valuable to carry, but I damn wll sure will still shoot it!

I'm glad to hear that, as my selection of snubbies is pretty small.

BIG holes from a snubby! Go for it!

I have several Smiths, no Smith snubbys. My closest Smith snubby is a 4" Model 57 .41 Mag with a tight shot group at that range. I love that gun, including the wooden grip. The only actual snubbys that I have are two 2" .38 spl Charter Arms, pretty tight shot groups from that range, and one 2" .38 Spl Rugar LCR that I purchased for my 78 year-old mother won't hit the broad side of a barn from that distance. Maybe if I put a Chrimson Trace on it. I figure that if she ever needs it, it will most likely be in her farm home where the longest room is about 20'. If someone breaks in, paint the dot, and try to make at least one score.

David R · Jun 4, 2014

The winner is!

5-shot with a 4.33 group fired OFF HAND @ 25 yards.

Please send me a PM with your address to get your custom printed internet snubby targets.

Thanks to everyone for playing

I am going to run this again until the end of june so you have one month to participate.

Two matches

10 yards
25 yards

Up to 3" barrel, ALL OFFHAND

Group size will be the winner, two prizes awarded, one for 10 and one for 25 yard groups.

I need to see picture of target, gun and a ruler to keep everyone honest.

I have seen some good targets and some nice guns.

You folks have got out and shot your guns which is the real goal.

Knigge · Jun 4, 2014

Maximumbob54 · Jun 4, 2014

If I can work this in this weekend between all the chores and the honey-do's then I'm game. My entry will include a 637 and I'm not sure yet what else. Glad you thought up this thread and just as glad I found it!!!
