CFF April '18 Rimfire Benchrest Challenge

Really a poor excuse, but 15 mph gusts started right after I started shooting the target. The target was swaying fore and aft about 14". I was putting the reticle on the dot and waiting for the dot to swing to it.

Hey now! Wind is my excuse. You are going to have to find your own. I am so over this crazy weather. It is to the point now if it was a calm day I could probably not even hit the target.
 
I can't claim wind as an excuse today... just being a dumb $%#. You all are going to get a good laugh at this.

I was on my way to a clean target today and somehow I managed to fire two shots on the bottom right coin. o_O So, I'm calling that coin a MISS and coming up a penny short.

SCORE = $11.63
Ruger 10/22
BSA 8-32x44
Wolf Match Target ammo
Front rest & rear bag

Haha ... too funny and I feel your pain but in the opposite direction - instead of shooting 1 coin 2 times I totally skipped one 20c. Went from jubilant anticipation to WTF over o_O And I even had my ammo lined up so I would NOT do that ... perfectly good ELEY Match round on the floor at the range - LOL
 
[Boys I bought a rpr rim fire yesterday and y’all better step up your game. Cause I shoot groups like this at 100

Very nice @nature boy ! Curious - was that group at 100? Inside or outside/conditions? What type ammo?

I’ve been waiting to see some reports on the RPR rimfire - looks like you’ve got a good one!
 
Details on the setup? Optic, rest, etc. that’s quite a grouping. I’ve read good things about the RPR but that’s impressive for 100yd.
That’s out of my 6.5 rpr:D. I’ll post pics of 100 yard groups of rimfire rpr tomorrow. Probably should of explained that in first post but it was whiskey night:cool:. I have few different ammos to try out but from what I hear cci is the way to go.
 
Nice rifle! Is that a 6.5 rimfire? Haha! Print out a target, you have a few days to shoot it yet.

Looking forward to seeing how that one performs.
 
Congrats @mike59 !!!! So what is the target for May?

Hold up. Today ain't over!! :p

(But it won't be me doing any shooting...just starting 2nd job for the day. Missed this month's target, but hope to do May & June in one trip). :(

Going to honor you @ECNC with the April win, glory, and booty prizes that you definitely earned. Your 2 perfect targets in 112 mph wind breaks any tie over my 1 inside target for sure. Nice job, well done, and congrats Sir! And with that the choice of target falls to you.

I'm feeling that pain - just finishing my first one (that started at 6am) ... time for some din-din for this kid! Gonna be hard to find me around the office in the morning ... of this I'm sure :cool:
 
@mike59 I will say thank you for the compliment, but now I have to find a target. Have not been looking because as far as I was concerned you won. Now I will have to find something!
 
I will have to post new one Tuesday. I could not get link to work tonight. I am going to bed now because I am going to range in morning. @mike59 you owe me!

Sorry @ECNC - didn't mean to jam you up like that and looking back I probably should have said something when you turned in your targets that windy day and officially moved you into the winners spot. I also have not tracked down a target yet and after sending my message last night I got some dinner and then passed out on the couch but I'm up and rolling now so I'll dig in and will post a target before I say good morning to the boss - priorities;)

For those keeping track for the awards banquet at the end of the year (haha) - even though I'm going after the next target - I officially pronounce @ECNC the winner of the April 2018 challenge - it was truly fine shooting - 2 perfect targets while dealing with the wind and in my mind that makes for the tie breaker over my 1 inside target (and 3 less than perfect).

Congrats @ECNC !

@mike59 It was not a big deal. I was just tired last night and hurting. I fell this past Sunday kind of hard and I do not think anything went right yesterday. Thanks for posting for May!!!
