"I'm glad you guys held it to 10 shot groups because this 396 hurts my vagina if I shoot it too much."
I just got some weird pictures in my head
Maybe try some light target loads?

Well, this a a day of firsts for me. I'll go ahead and post these pic's, but they are ineligible because I forgot the rules- I'd forgotten the 10 shot rule. Also- the indoor range I was at was a 50 footer, hence the 17 yard post.
The 10 yard target has 6 holes in it. This is the first time for me reloading .38 sp. wadcutters. I've never done as good with this model 10-5 snub. In fact, the rest of our session, I could not do as good with my 686.
This ain't but 17 yards, but I'll post it anyway.

This thread ought to put 'paid' to all the know-it-alls who maintain that snubs are only close-up belly guns, that there is no point in trying to shoot them at any distance, cause they just aren't accurate enough...HAH! I have been criticized for bringing a snub to a falling plate match, by a race gun guy, for 'slowing things down too much'. My reply, you can't miss fast enough to win.
Wow just saw this and was excited... then read again and saw 10 yards not 10 feet and 25 yards not 25feet. My heart sank these old eyes cant even see the paper at 25 yards.. plus our indoor range we use only goes to 18 yards. I will have to find a different way..
BTW the 3" barrel at 25 yards.. if I use rounding my 3.25" 945-1 is really a 3" barrel. Now I have a chance

mblisss57 Go ahead and shoot your 45. I used an officers model. It shot well too.
Keep em coming.
harleyfan Take them targets back to the range and add enough holes to make 10.
If anyone else needs to shoot at 50' go for it, just note it. I will add another prize.

I don't see 10 holes, but I do see keyholing.. What were you shooting? subsonic?I am new here but I'm lovin' this idea and would like to participate.
I'm glad you guys held it to 10 shot groups because this 396 hurts my vagina if I shoot it too much.
25yds. DA.
I thought I was doin' good but when I walked up I saw I wasn't. Oh well.
10yd stage I think I screwed up because I think I shot more than 10 rounds. Either way, fun stuff.

It was raining pretty good at the range today. I'm afraid I didn't really follow the rules very closely. Offhand, 25 shots DA at 15 yards with my old California Department of Corrections 64-4. Anyway, I shot this target so I'll post a picture. On the up side, I am in accordance with the last rule... I had fun!

All shooting is supposed to be fun (unless it`s in self deffense) and this is a good way to compete in a friendly manner..
And how many of your shooting buddies can say " i have entered the world championship in snub shooting"

The last two posts have the idea of the match.
NOW I am going to change the prize to say "WORLD SNUBBY INTERNET CHAMPION".

OK... my son and I got back to the range this morning, and I had a chance to do some more targets and to adhere a bit better to the rules.
Ain't gonna win anything here, but if I may- I am very pleased with the first target below. And a bit puzzled as well.
The one below is as far back as the range will go. I struggled a bit at 50', as the lighting was a bit dim in that lane. I could make out hits in the black rings, but had no idea where the rest were going.
I'm a beginning shooter, and a beginning re-loader. I've never fired a handgun in my life until October or so of last year. I bought this 10-5 snub around Christmas last with thoughts of a carry piece. My other revolver is a 686-2, 4", and I can't say enough about how much I like it. But today? with the .357, I could not do as well as this.
Now, my son has two Glocks, his newest a .45 ACP hip cannon. With that thing? I could hardly get it on the cardboard!

Here are my two entries. Finally !!
The wife wanted to come along as well and finally shoot the model 19-2 that I bought her for our wedding anniversary last month.
Mine
Mod.19-2
Iver Johnson
My wife's first outing with a snubby
Unfortunately all that I could find for targets were my kids small BB gun targets
so All targets were shot @ 10yrds

I just read the post on how the holes should be measured for spread.
I measured the spread of the holes from outside to outside so I guess the 38 target should be 2.50" not 2.75" and the wife's 38 target entry should be 6.50".
I'll leave the 25acp as it is since at best we're only talking about a 1/16 of an inch anyway.

Nice targets and good shooting. I thought the Iver Johnson was a 22 until you said so and I looked at the 50 gr fmj.
Really liking the 40 shorty.

Thanks. The 40 is a really sweet shooting gun for it's size.
I'll be shooting that one again real soon along with a 4506,586 and a 629 in the other match that you have running.
