[tlgpa]

Snow's gone and nice weather is here again! Time for a new competition.

Distance: 5yrds, 10yrds, 15yrds
Weapon: Any handgun (iron sights). Tricked out competition handguns are discouraged.
Shooting must be done standing offhand. Hold it any way you like, just don't use a rest.

If anyone wants to shoot with a scope, laser or other device, I'll keep two sets of standings. Opens sights & Scoped. Be sure to indicate which with your submittal.

Shots: 3 rounds per target (If you miss the target, it counts as a round)

3 rounds @ 5yrds
3 rounds @ 10yrds
3 rounds @ 15yrds
(All 3 targets must be shot as a group. No shooting a bunch of plates at each distance and picking the best 3)

Scoring:

Measure each group size.
Average the 3 group sizes.
Lowest group aveage wins.

For the mathmatically challanged, submit your groups and I'll average them.

Prize: $1,000,000 cyber dollars
Target: Paper plate. Or any other piece of paper you feel like shooting.
Deadline: Submit your scores by April 30th

Sounds fun! I think I may use my new 10mm for this... so far she's proven very accurate. I'll put that to the test, I guess!

can it be shot on the same target? top left, top right, bottom left.

[tlgpa]

can it be shot on the same target? top left, top right, bottom left.

Sure, if it's big enough to distinguish between your groups.

[3rdChance]

I made up a target (see attached) with different size bulls to keep my sight picture the same at each distance. We'll see if I can keep it on the paper at 15 yards.

[tlgpa]

Due to lack of response, and certain issues with people being banned, I've extended the deadline to the end of the month.

[3rdChance]

Here's my entry. With groups of 31/32", 31/32", and 3 25/32" I get an average group size of 1 29/32" or 1.90625". I hope measuring to the nearest 32nd is okay, but I couldn't help myself since it kept my 5 and 10 yard group sizes under an inch. This was shot using my Ruger Single Six, 5 1/2" barrel, with Winchester "333" bulk pack. This was my first attempt of three, the next two had significantly larger 10 yard groups.
