    Default Online target competition - 9 shots for 9 targets - 10 yds handgun offhand - By Jan 5

    Okay, well I missed the last online target competition with carry guns. So, I decided to start one. For this one, it does not have to be your carry gun, just any handgun that does not have optics or laser sights (well, it can have laser sights, just don't use em ), irons only. Here's the link for the target: targetz and here's a picture of it:


    Using a handgun from 10 yards standing offhand (no rests, sandbags, etc.), one shot at each circle. Scoring is as follows (in spirit of the football season - GO EAGLES!!!): a hit in the white circle is 7 points and a hit in the black circle is 3 points. If two or more holes are in one circle, only the highest will count, the other(s) will be disqualified. If there are more than 9 holes in the paper, that submission will be disqualified. If a hole is on the border (ie. touching both the black and white circles), the higher score will be awarded. You may submit more than once if you shoot later and receive a better score. This will conclude in three weeks, so you have until Tuesday, January 5th, 2010 at 2359.

    Good luck and have fun!

    EDIT: For submission, attach a photo of your target along with the gun and ammo you used.

    I could print it up to 24"x33". If I wasn't an honest upstanding person.

    I think we can agree that you get to be the judge on any inconclusive holes/tears.


    What if there is a tie? It's conceiveable that more than one person could hit 9 center holes.

    Prints okay directly from the pdf window in Firefox with Vista Home Premium.

    Any agreement on calibers here?

    The way I read it "just any handgun that does not have optics" leaves it open to any caliber.

    Hopefully people will keep it somewhat fair and not use:

    Why not? It is the perfect piece for this kind of work and requires absolutely perfect execution of all the basics of marksmanship to score successfully.

    Think about the challenge being given in the match decription. The total target area (outside diameter of the black) is only slightly larger than the aiming area for the ISSF Air Rifle or Air Pistol target (even though the "10" ring is much bigger) and the range is only 3 feet shorter than the ISSF 10 meters. On top of that the way I was trained "offhand" means one handed. (i.e. that's strong hand only for you IDPA types.) Maybe Max should weigh in on this and define his idea of offhand.

    In any event this is a very challenging course of fire.

    I had thought about that, but that could push the competition to the superbowl. lol. Do we have that much of an attention span?

    How about closest to center of the bullseye?

    That would work if the shots weren't consistently right in the center. That might make it a matter of scanning.

    What were we talking about again?
