Rastoff's Challenge- Dropping the Gauntlet

[okiegtrider]

I know, close, but no cigar. I nabbed some B27 centers today. I'll work on it.

 

[AST236]

No B27's at the range, so I had to use what we had. The blue oval measures 4"X2 1/8".
M&P 9L, Speer Gold Dots.......

Based on the measurements you provided, I measured your target...

...and based on that measurement, I think we have another successful target! Well done. Yes, your oval is a little taller than the B-27, but your group will fit inside the correct oval. You are now in a very small group.

Been a while since I’ve posted but been shooting the challenge and competing IDPA and USPSA. Got a new gun and very happy with the accuracy so here it is. Pretty happy with the group size but will need to adjust the sights a bit to keep them all in.

That's some good shooting. Can't read the calipers because of the picture angle. Is that 1.3"? What gun were you shooting?

 

[Angus46]

Thanks, not near as good as some I’ve seen on this thread. I jerked the trigger on a few of the shots, so some areas to work on.

The group size was 1.530 a 40.cal STI 2011.

The gun I can tell is capable to shoot way better than what I did. Need to go for that under 1.00 group shakyshoot got a while back...

That was an impressive display of shooting skill.

Did the drill a bit different today with my M&P, working on presenting the gun from low ready each time and tracking the sights at the break of the shot (need to practice calling my shots)

Not all X but all 10!

Effort two. Same Smith, mixed 100gr Remington and a few 115gr HSMs. This gun shoots 100gr low.

Went to the range today and did:
4 rounds, 3 yards
6 rounds, 5 yards
6 rounds, 7 yards
4 rounds, 10 yards
.45 shield
230 gr. Blazer FMJ
Two handed hold.
Started cold (first rounds fired for the day).
For some reason I was shooting right. After I fired these 20, my grouping on the Shield (& CZ-75 I was shooting) centered up. I found that the hard part was shooting at 3 yards. I'll try again next time out with the CZ.

 

[PAFMAN3]

10 shots 3 yds
10 shots 7 yds
10 shots 10yds

2-3 shots from low ready rapid

Another try, different gun.
S&W Model 10-2
.38 Special handloads 158 gr TMJ
Two handed-double action.
First rounds fired of the day.
4 rounds--3 yards
6 rounds--5 yards
6 rounds--7 yards
4 rounds--10 yards

This is more difficult than I first thought.

 

[Rastoff]

This is more difficult than I first thought.

Believe it or not, this is the most common response from those who try it. Most think, "Slow fire, at not long distance? I'll have no trouble keeping it within an inch." Alas, that's not the case.

It is challenging. Not the most difficult. Neither is it the most representative of defensive shooting. Doing it as your first rounds of the day gives you some idea of how you'll do when cold. If you really want to ramp it up, add time pressure.

I've shot North of 1200 rds. (One thousand, two hundred) maybe more, and haven't cleaned it yet!! I may give it another try tomorrow. Been a while since my last attempt.

I stopped posting targets as they all looked....similar.

 

[Rastoff]

I know this is challenging. Thanks for your dedication prplbkrr.

 

[RobzGuns]

Changed it up a bit today. I used both my Shield and my G26, shooting 5 from the Shield on the Left target, 5 from the G26 on the right target, then changing the distance.
The 2 Orange Peel targets are 5.5" in diameter.

5 rounds each pistol--3 yards
5 rounds each pistol--5 yards
5 rounds each pistol--7 yards
5 rounds each pistol--10 yards
5 rounds each pistol--15 yards

As always, I had a couple fliers at 15yds.

 

[Rastoff]

Pretty good shooting.

 

[Protected One]

Shot the challenge today with my new 3" bbl 1911 (45acp).
Still got work to do.

 

[Rastoff]

Still good shooting. Better than average.

 

[Okie21]

My personal best with the challenge. I recently realized that I look at the bullet hole after each shot. Now I aim, and ignore the holes until I'm done shooting. Made a huge difference for me. This is an 8" target.

Well Rastoff, I finally did this again. My first post shooting this challenge was so bad that I knew I could only get better. No cheating, had the shakes pretty bad, but it was the first shots of the day.

Firearm was my Shield 9mm that I carry. No excuses, it is what it is. I might try it again in September, when I turn 75.

Have a blessed day,

Leon
