Re: LGC Rifle Sharpshooter Match *BETA TEST* Underway!
26Keep shooting. The match ends Jan 1st. Plenty of time for improvement. :-)
Give it a go. I suspect you'll surprise yourself!Eris wrote: Tue Sep 25, 2018 9:02 pm Ummm, maybe I can't shoot this competition after all. I just got the targets in the mail and they are very, very small. The bulls are so close together that I'm afraid a miss on one bull will turn into a hit on another. Are there any target with the bulls spaced farther apart?

Oh I'll certainly try. If nothing else I'll just shoot at one bull per target. But yeah, I plan on taking these targets to the range this weekend and seeing what I can do. I know I can do well if the gun is rested on a bag, so I just have to learn how to hold it steady in my arms.featureless wrote: Tue Sep 25, 2018 9:26 pmGive it a go.

Good point. He should probably be using a pistol.Bucolic wrote: Wed Sep 26, 2018 11:54 am I want to see if Sikacz shoots this with his Utra Lux. Damn, that thing is so long that, if he stands at 50 feet, the muzzle is going to be about 2 yards away from the target. An unfair advantage? You decide…
I thought the muzzle had to be at the range marker.....Bucolic wrote: Wed Sep 26, 2018 11:54 am I want to see if Sikacz shoots this with his Utra Lux.

Yes, and No. I did once shoot on the URI rifle team back in 73/74, using the Winchester 52 that I still have. It was a prone rifle, really, and too heavy for standing work with aperture sights. I never did very well in anything but the prone stages.... That said, aperture sights were standard equipment on all the rifles.MaxWyatt wrote: Wed Sep 26, 2018 1:30 pmI resemble that statement.Bucolic wrote: Wed Sep 26, 2018 1:23 pm If it were, he’d need a scope...

On the other hand, I'm really looking forward to putting my new 455 Standard through the paces. ....and just to expose myself for the total rifle newb that I am, do aperture/peep sights work well from a standing position? I assume they would, but I wonder if the sight picture would be as easy to line up as open sights. Inquiring minds want to know.
They're 1.5 inches. At 50 feet, my 10/22 front sight almost covers the area. On my first try, I could only hit 50%, so there's a lot of room for improvement, and I think that's an exciting challenge.
Yeah but the fly kill was from a sitting position.leitmotiv wrote:Ok, sounds like I got the right ones. It seems only a hair larger than those pesky little flys from the postal match a while ago.
I’ll give it a go.
They’ll be as squirrelly as if they were real flys ...Bucolic wrote: Sat Sep 29, 2018 9:25 amYeah but the fly kill was from a sitting position.leitmotiv wrote:Ok, sounds like I got the right ones. It seems only a hair larger than those pesky little flys from the postal match a while ago.
