INTERNET SNUBBY MATCH

[M E Morrison]

OK, word nerds, what's the proper collective noun for a grouping of snubbies? I used 'gaggle' , but should I have used flock, bevy, pride, sounder or??? Sounder has the sibilants, but I don't think the snubbies are pigs. What say the rest of you?

Well, for me personally, they all work!

I kind of like Battery myself, but I see where your going.

"Battery' sounds good to me; that's what I'll use.

My submission for August

Howdy,

This is the first chance I've had to participate. This is an Awesome idea. I shot at the Spokane Rifle Club outdoor range and they only have 10/15/25 yard firing points so this is not officially an entry I reckon as its not at 50 feet. Used my favorite snub nosed. 38 M&P #1558XX with Buffalo Bore 150 grain Standard Pressure Hard Cast Wadcutters, Its what I use routinely in the snubs and Model 10 4" barrel when I carry them. She does good with 148 grain Remington Match Wadcutters and 158 gr. lead roundness as well. Must say that K-frames make me look good with either double or single action. Can't seem to get the same groups at 15 or 25 yards with the 640 Pro Series.

August Match

Went to the range today to shoot the August match. Should have stayed home, just one of those days where everything seems to conspire against you.

Had to shoot the match today as I am leaving on an extended trip to the western states;Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, etc.

Anyway, I took my "battery" of snubs. The photos show the results @ 50 ft DAO two handed. The order is Mod 624, Mod 64-4, Mod 10-5, Mod 442 and Mod 60 with two flyers.

If you ask me, if you don't have a choice of 50' then 15 yards is close enough for the girls I go with. Nice group there my friend!

 

[Otreb]

I was a little over 50ft today, but it's as close as they go at this range, soooo....
Gun was LCR .357, ammo was Black Hills .38sp 148gr wadcutters.
Group measures right at 4" c-t-c.

 

[stu1ritter]

I took 3 snubby's with me but after shooting my favorite, gave up on the others. 15-2, Herretts, 148 DEWC and 3.2 N320.

50' double action is HARD. Most of my groups (patterns) wouldn't stay on an 8½" X 11" piece of paper. I took my battery (like that word) of snubbies out and narrowed my choice to the old S&W M&P or the even older (1934) Colt Banker's Special in 22. Shot about 10 targets with the two, most were lousy. Least worst was this with the 22 Banker's Special: 3 1/2 inches. Ammo was CCI Pistol Match. I'm sorry that the little 22 holes may be hard to see; maybe I should have drawn circles around them. The target I shot just after that with the S&W was exactly 8 inches. The Banker's Special has a smooth DA pull, and that helped. I haven't messed with it nor the M&P although on my newer revolvers I've replaced the rebound block spring.

Great shooting, guys. I love that Bankers Special.

Nice " Battery" of snubbies ya have there!! DA is much harder than most people think it is.
I need to get my back side out to the range for some fun and practice.
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Greetings,

Talked my oldest son into trying this months match, since he just retired & was home from the Navy.

Yep, he edged me out.

My target 11.0 inch




his target - 10-3/8 in



both of us used my old M36
guess the bad guys would not be in too much danger, but oh well. more practice is needed, that's pretty obvious!

thanks for a challenging match!

The group I shot with my M&P, just before the one I posted was 8 inches.

 

[David R]

I like the targets. I was taught to shoot double action first.

My Dad and I shot pins for a few years, all DA, so its easy for me.

I will take a "Battery" of snubbies to the range by the end of the week.

[M E Morrison]

Any Sept match going on?

 

[colin1230]

Darn, did we fizzle out?

 

[stu1ritter]

Drat's, I hope not. I was just beginning to enjoy showing off 55 years of bullseye experience behind the sights of a snubby. Harumph if we fizzled.

 

[OLDNAVYMCPO]

I propose a two part snubby match, double action only, one handed, weak hand- strong hand, any target, group size is determining factor;

Part one: 5 shots each, weak hand, same target at 3,7,and 15 yards

Part two: 5 shots each, strong hand, separate target at 3,7 and 15 yards.

Three winners possible, one for weak hand, one for strong hand and one for lowest average.
I'm open to suggestions or changes.

Snubby Match

Went to the range today to try this new match. Should have used larger targets, 15 yd weak hand dbl action is very humbling. Any way the targets below are my results. My EDC mod 60 is one fine shooting snub. I will try this again before the month is out.
