Rastoff's Challenge- Dropping the Gauntlet

[Rastoff]

Well Rastoff, I finally did this again.

No joke Leon, that's some good shooting with the Shield. I have a 9mm Shield so, I know it's not a bullseye gun. I will have to try this with mine and see how I do.

Here's today's target, using my 26.
5 shots each at 3yds, 5yds, 7yds and 10yds.
5.5" target, the inner rings are at 2" and 4".

 

[Rastoff]

See, what RobzGuns has done is really in the spirit of this challenge. He didn't use the "official" target, but so what? His result probably won't fit inside the B-27 X ring, but it's very close.

This is what this thread is all about. It's getting out and shooting. Doing some real practice and pushing yourself to get ever better with the gun, any gun, you'll carry.

Just picked up a Gen4 G19 with factory night sights and figured I'd try the challenge with a brand new pistol.
I picked a Gen4 as it has the adjustable back-straps, so my finger finds the trigger's 'sweet spot' every time.

Anyway, here it is, with only a quick clean/inspect and added back-strap.

 

[Rastoff]

Pretty good considering it's a new gun.

Happy Thanksgiving Rastoff! Did you ever shoot the "challenge" with your Shield?

Have a blessed day,

Leon

 

[Rastoff]

No, I haven't done it with the Shield yet. Hmmm...maybe Friday...

It's been awhile since I tried this.

My M&P22c doesn't like the bulk pack ammo I have.

 

[V0OBWxZS16]

Two attempts with my brother's new M&P9 M2.0 Threaded Barrel. The first target is my first twenty rounds from that pistol.

The other two are from my BG380. There wasn't anyone shooting in the next lane to blame that flyer on.

 

[Rastoff]

Nice shooting V0OBWxZS16.


And just for the record, I tried this with my Shield 9mm a couple weeks ago. I did OK, but didn't pass. All were in the 10 ring.

Pictures or it didn't happen.

Just kidding!

Yeah, I didn't take pics of that one. Maybe I'll try it again this weekend.

I gotta try this again! I got some new toys recently!

I'm looking forward to your results.

Rastoff, Love your challenges and try one or another every time I head to the range. Here is todays target using my Model 1905, 4th change, shot DA. Getting closer but still no cigar. Next time!!

This thread needs a bump with a few more of my failures.

Not "failures" just more attempts that didn't quite meet your expectations.

Do you know why that one shot was in the white in pic 4? That is far more valuable information than a fully successful target.

Regardless, this is 4 examples of some really good shooting. I wish everyone could shoot like this.

For the record, I have done this several times myself in the past couple of months; none succeeded.

Unfortunately, I don't know. There was no one shooting close enough to blame. I was shooting too fast that day, particularly on the close ranges, and may have let one fly while recovering from recoil, but I don't recall doing so.

Took some 45's out for some range time today. Used my Shield 45 for the challenge today. Target got ripped out because there wasn't anything behind it in the middle. Gun is hitting to the right a touch. So close!
