OK, will do.
Looks like I need to get one of my nephews to come over & "educate" me - I don't like to be a burden.
Thank you.

Wow, I got to get me some wadcutters. I like the perfect round holes they make.
I just got hip to this contest and read all the posts. I am happy to see so many shooting revolvers because that is what I like too. Looks like lots of fun and I hope to participate although I never have been able to post pics on this forum from my laptop. I think I don't have the proper version of Adobe and I can't seem to get it to ever download.
Just some thoughts...
2 inches is a convenient size for us to think in and talk about but a lot of S&W J frames are 2 & 1/8 inches.
I see you changed the rules for this month to all 3 inches which is fine.
If you keep this competition up (and I hope so,) maybe it would be more convenient to start a new thread for each month after this.
How do I measure? Is it center of hole to center or closest edges or furthest edges?

Center to Center. In other words outside of one and inside of other.

I am going to try to shoot some this weekend.
Just an idea to level the playing field. Multiply the group size by the barrel length.
A 2" group with a 1 7/8" barrel (2*1.875=3.75)
should beat
a 2" group with a 3" barrel (2*3=6).
Maybe even a caliber multiplier... 44 beats 38 beats 32 beats 22...
Just a thought.....

I will try to shoot this match with a 2.5" Model 19 and a 2" Model 10 this weekend. Stay tuned!

Well i got to recalculate mine thenthe groups are 00,357" closer.
I used YOUR tape measure and got 86 cm C-C. What you get is what counts. Post your group size so I can beat it
David
hang on...
hang on a few minutes, I just got back from the range with my m.15, m.60 and Governor, the latter shooting both .45 acp and 45 Colt. Didn't do as well as I would have liked, but hey, haven't been practicing, maybe this will pull me back to the Dark side...
Now to download some photos and give my wife her ruler back....
or you can measure outside edge to outside edge and then subtract the diameter of the round...just saying...

June 6th shooting, need to practice...
So I took my 1970 model 15-3, my 2007 model 60-14, (both shooting .38 Special 148 gr. wadcutters) and my new S&W Governor (shooting .45 acp 230 gr. FMJ, and 45 Colt 250 gr. Cowboy load) to the range this afternoon, but didn't do as well as I would have expected or hoped, especially with the model 15. But checking my logbook, I see that this is the first firing of 2014, only 48 rounds in 2013, 108 rounds in 2012, and 114 rounds in 2011. As compared with 1,139 rounds in 2010. So practice really counts, especially with snubs. So here are my pics. The 25 yard results with the Governor were so disappointing, I tried the 38s at 25, and they did better, but not super.
btw, you didn't say, are we supposed to be shooting double action or single action? I shoot double action, which tends to favor my m.15.
I am having trouble re-sizing my 25 yd. .38 special photo, will try later.

Ed333 you got the idea. Shoot your guns. Groups are 10 shots. Please go back and shoot some more. The whole idea is to shoot more. Be a better shot and bond with your firearms. It looks like I already have you shooting more than last year.
Double or single action is fine, just state which you use.
Everybody wins.
I hope to enter my first target by Sunday.

Well, I can't seem to downsize this one picture, don't know why, but I did better at 25 with the .38 specials, than with the 45s, and to my surprise, I did better (5" group) with the m.60 than with the m.15 (7" with a couple of flyers, they were on me, not the revolver.)
I didn't try any .410 rounds in the Governor, should I?

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.

Mine is a non entry as I forgot a ruler. I just wanted to post it as I didn't forget to go, I just am not in the habit of packing a ruler...
10 yards standing double action slow fire:
The best part is I don't think I've EVER shot this gun this well...
The ammo was a Lee 358158RF that I powder coated with Harbor Freight matte black and it was pushed by 3.7gr of Titegroup over a Winchester SPP. The up high one was my hand finally asking me what the heck I was doing using the 637 as a range gun...
