Rastoff's Challenge- Dropping the Gauntlet

[blackhorse2010]

Nice shooting, Shaky!

 

[Ole Joe Clark]

Hey Mr. Shaky. That's about as good as it gets.

 

[Harley Fan]

Still trying.

Nope.

 

[Bob O]

Darned one bullet!!

Still trying.

Nope.

Good stuff. Keep at it!

 

[Harley Fan]

Darned one bullet!!

Actually, seven. Six "touches".

No hijack intended.

Here's another great drill that incorporates some time pressure while working from the holster.

"It goes to 11" (Yes, there's a Spinal Tap reference there).

It truly is a "challenge" to set aside a well running 1911 and trying this with my Brick... errr Glock 22. This pistol was a mystery to me, but it's getting somewhat better.

Today's time was spent evaluating handloads.


I shot two- the Kimber target wasn't any better than I posted on #446... but the one below I'm posting? I got all 20 on the paper!

My last range visit a few weeks ago .. only shot at 10 yards 30 feet ..
was shooting Winchester White Box 40S&W 180 grain FMJ ..

Edit - can't seem to get picture to show. anyway 10 shots @ 10 yards 1.75 inch group .. will see if I can get the picture to show ..

 

[Whitwabit]

I do that with these:

No point in wasting good ammo in slow fire.

how does the Webley Tempest shoot ?? I get my RWS out every once in awhile ..

 

[Whitwabit]

You can just print the attached target. It's a reasonable approximation of the center of a B27E.

Nice target .. But save your expensive ink ..duct tape is 2 inches wide .. cut a piece 3 inches long and place in the middle of a sheet of paper .. very cheap ..

Here are my least bad attempts:
M&P9L CORE w/ RM07
M&P9 Shield
Browning Hi-Power

M&P9L CORE w/ RM07
M&P9 Shield
Browning Hi-Power

Not bad--I've tried 3 times now with my Shield and failed 3 times. Yesterday I blew it on the 3rd 10 yd shot.

Good suggestion. Just remember to round off the corners a bit.

Not just "not bad", those are quite good. Very few can shoot a Shield that well. I know I can't.

 

[TazTJ]

Went out to try some new 45 reloads. 230gr RN Extreme bullets over 4.6gr Titegroup. This is 20 shots from 10 yds with my Dan Wesson Guardian. Need to change the front sight, hits high with everything. 1.86" wide edge to edge, 2.177" tall edge to edge.

 

[Rastoff]

An outstanding group TazTJ. In fact, it's small enough to fit in the orange center of the B-27E...

Alas, the group is not centered on a spot I could see. It is about one inch high.

So, while this is a great group, not a patch winner.

 

[TazTJ]

Yeah, the Guardian hits around 1" to 1.5" high with almost every load I have tried; my VBOB was the same till I switched the front sight. My aim point is the middle of the X on the 5 spot archery target, so with the distance known and the amount of correction known, now I can order a new front sight! It was also 20 rds at 10 yds because the place I shot was muddy and I didn't want to chase the brass around, so it wouldn't have qualified anyway.

Its a fun challenge to try! One of these days I will get it!

 

[Kronos]

Looks fun,I'm not too very picky about accuracy in a combat pistol-example I fired my new to me SD9ve yesterday at...oooh about maybe fifteen or so feet and I could cover all seventeen shots with my hand.

When I get worried is when it looks like I used a shotgun on the target!

 

[Rick_A]

how does the Webley Tempest shoot ?? I get my RWS out every once in awhile ..

It's what I would call "field accurate." It is no match gun but I can consistently knock down a 1" steel plate at 10m which is good enough for me. Unfortunately it needs a rebuild as the performance has been dropping off steadily lately.

A couple examples in the spirit of the challenge.

My new RO Compact:

16 rounds at 5 yards and 16 at 7yds. These were the first shots from the gun. It's starting to settle in nicely.

My new M67 at 15 yards, 24 rounds in DA:

It's a bit of a cheater, but the focus is fundamentals, right?

ETA:
9MM ammo was PMC 115gr FMJ
.38 SPL was Remington UMC 130gr

Did this one a while back, reduced size target (11x18 IIRC?) all at 10 yds, indoor range with my SA 1911 that I rebuilt. 15 shots in the center, 15 shots in the head. Face was on purpose. The RO told me I had to shoot slower, so I did this target. He let me shoot faster after that

I gotta do some more targets with my other carry pistols and see how they do. Most of my EDC guns are DW 1911's, so it's kinda unfair I have hit a 12" plate at 100 yds with my DW 9mm ECO and also at 200 yds with a 5" 1911 .22lr Nelson conversion, standing 2 hand hold
