Internet Shield Match

[ChiefStealth]

This, a continuation from a thread in the M&P Pistol section. Here:
http://smith-wessonforum.com/smith-wesson-m-p-pistols/417222-shield-internet-match-anyone.html

There seems to be enough interest to get this going. So, here's the basic rules:
10 yards, 10 rounds, 2 hand standing (if possible), unsupported, no time limit, deadline for entry is 1 Mar. target is:

http://www.whidbeyarms.com/assets/images/whidbey_arms_targets/Targets/7 Inch Range Target.pdf
Print (full size) on 8 1/2 X 11 paper, or card stock
10 points for the 1" ring, 9 for the 2" ring... and so on, down to 4 points for the 7" ring, no points for anything outside of 7" ring, any shot touching a ring (liner) will count as being in higher scoring ring, the shooter calls their own liners and doubles.

Firearm must be a S&W Shield, (in either 9mm, or .40), your choice of ammo, if using a laser just state so.

Post (in this thread) a picture of target and firearm, together, and your score written somewhere on the target.

I'll clarify anything by editing this post, as needed. It's all for fun.

Do we get a sub zero temperature handicap? This sound like a lot of fun and when I am able to get on my range I'll compete. Thanks for setting this up, good idea. I have to admit though my arms are nine feet long.

Sheiss. I do not own a Shield or a 9mm or a 40.

I do own lots of 38s and a couple semi auto 45s.

Looks like good time.

The 3913 is kinda like an old Skool shield, right?

 

[David R]

LCP in 9mm short? (Kurz)
My only other option is a LW Officers ACP. That is not a shield.

Lets see some targets!

Dang it. I went to the range today and forgot to print out any targets.

Next time.

ChiefStealth, this looks like a fun thread. Alas, I have no shield, so I'll just spectate.

Thank you for the target link! I printed some of these out at work. When I checked the rings with a scale, things weren't quite right. My error: my printing default was set on "fit page". When I wised up, that made things right.

The target link was provided by forum member Semper Praesidio. Another good source for targets is FREE TARGETS from TARGETZ.com Lots of good stuff there.
I'll be hittin' the range this Saturday. Got a hundred 124gn loads with Titegroup all ready to go.

 

[David R]

So, I printed the targets, now all I have to do is buy a shield.

See you at the match!

WHAT, do you mean that you haven't gotten one yet??!! I'm going out to my LGS Saturday morning to pick one up! It's supposed to be in the low to mid 30's for the first time in weeks here,on Sunday. I've got a lot of shootin to catch up on!!

 

[David R]

I don't want to pollute the thread, but... ..... ....

17 yards, 44 special Bulldog.

Automatic disqualification .


Thanks for the tip of not printing to page size .[emoji3]

If there is any GSR on the targets, we'll all know if anyone cheated.

Okay, here's an actual target relevant to the thread. I haven't shot slow fire with the Shield in a long time. Usually it's pretty quick at a small silhouette target 10 to 15 yards. My goal was to put 10 shots in the 9 ring. Didn't come close, but at least I hit the black with 10. Score was 90, but hoping to improve on that before the end of the month. There's 3 shots together at the 6 o'clock of the 10 ring. All 3 touch the 10 using a bullet as a gauge, plus the one at 10 o'clock. Will try it again next week.

Pretty good shootin' there! You kept 'em all in a 3in circle. So, there is our first official entry. Score of 90. Enter often.

 

[RaginRog]

Hit the range last night. Not a winner, but not bad considering how small the target is. 10 yards, cheap Remington 115 gr.

 

[Semper Praesidio]

Waiting for my lane assignment at the range! Should have a target to post later this afternoon!

The top pic is the target still on the backer.

The bottom pic is per the rules here. Feel free to critique my scoring.

 

[ChiefStealth]

Here's my target. The flyer was because... ah, yea.. the guy next to me with his Ruger Redhawk. Yea, that's it.

 

[Semper Praesidio]

Ugh - not a good day at the range. Target not really even worth posting. Everybody else's targets are looking pretty good though!
