Amazing what you can do in photoshop these days

Is that benchrest or standard - nice shooting either way?

Prone target rifle: the competition in Rathdrum on Sunday that Conor was blaming for his sore elbow.

I've a sore elbow as well, but it's funny how it doesn't hurt as much when you've one of those

Didnt realise you did outward scoring for this. Was it NSRA rules or something?

I've my first go on the Megalinks when I shoot in UCD on Sunday morning - can't wait!

IRLConor · 13-02-2008 9:43pm

I think strictly speaking it was NTSA rules, but NSRA rules would be a good approximation.

I don't think there are any ISSF rules for 25yd/25m rifle, I could be wrong.

Didnt realise NTSA even had non-ISSF disciplines. Makes sense it was outward scoring I suppose given the accuracy of a prone .22 at 25m.

Meh... you had some squeakers!

Thats excellent shooting Kealan.

Kryten · 13-02-2008 10:08pm

Damn, I thought you put up my standard pistol 10 second target.

:D:D:D

Thanks. I'll take it, squeakers and all seeing as it's my first competitive one in nine years! That ton was in the middle of a run of 14 tens, so I'm pretty pleased with it. The worst shots were one 9.3, three 9.4's and a 9.5. The group was nice and tight around the ten ring, so I'm working on tightening that up some more.

99's are a killer

But if you don't like squeakers, here's a prettier one

His mpi isn't as central as mine

but his shots sure are tighter

It's an NSRA target, so the scoring is as per NSRA rules. The rest of the game is ISSF. The outward gauging makes it very tough to get tons, but we had three on Sunday.

I've my first go on the Megalinks when I shoot in UCD on Sunday morning - can't wait!

Well you've shot electronic before, so it's no biggie from that point of view, but to be shooting for the first time in Ireland on electronic...:cool:

It's fantastic to see it becoming the norm here, it's funny because in the U.S. they have very few electronic ranges and we have two now. Bring it on!

Photographs of the UCD Air Rifle open are here.

rrpc · 18-02-2008 11:32pm

Very good Zaraba, looked really good, pity I couldn't make it, but I was tied up on our own range all day as it turned out.

Time to get some other slackers to do a bit methinks.

Any sign of the results? How'd you get on with your new shiny FWB?

19-02-2008 10:32am

Some confusion over the results.. I imagine they will find there way on to the NTSA website in due course.

I was happy enough - lack of stamina cost me a bit but the rifle is sweet!

Very cool photo from the Bejing range for the Olympics:

Not abstract either, it's modelled on an actual shooter and his actual free pistol.

IRLConor · 18-04-2008 2:20pm

And here's the source, loads more photos from the World Cup in Beijing.

Yes they would - if they had the mile of danger area behind the range or the baffles needed.

I can only speak for ranges I've been on both military and civilian. If you did that you're arse would be very sore for a long time

You can baffle for that quite easily. You can place baffles within 3 metres of the shooter so long as they're angled. Some ranges have these built into the roof of the firing point and the shooter is back three metres or more from the baffle/roof.

You then build another baffle further downrange so that the entire angle above the sightline is baffled. That way, no shot released above the sightline can leave the range.

Most ranges here don't have that setup, so yes your arse would be kicked and rightly so if you did it.

It wasn't me! · 27-04-2008 7:47pm

Thought I'd fire up some pictures of my Anschutz 1807L in a free rifle stock. Shot a personal best 94 yesterday with it. Not particularly good to most here, but I'm damnably happy with it right now.

first day training for comp in rathdrum on sunday

rrpc · 06-10-2008 7:10pm

Somebody's warming up quite nicely I see

Looks like it's going to be a fairly good competition, I know somebody who's broken 500 three times in training so far.

It wasn't me! · 06-10-2008 9:45pm

Feck! Looks like my rifle groups!

Very nice shooting mate.

xesse · 07-10-2008 8:23am

You don't need the PC to run a training competition. Have a look at our forum.

Fajitas! · 27-12-2008 7:51pm

Thought you lads might enjoy these

Went out for a few shots over the last two days. Keep us entertained and all - Shooting midi clays.

Pictures of 300m groups from testing handloads. The circles are two inches across. Accuracy: Stellar

The rifle is a Tanner, doesn't say what model. It does illustrate what those ISSF 300m guns can do though.

IWM a pity about the four flyers down the lefthand side :rolleyes:

200m firing point midlands

It wasn't me! · 20-08-2009 5:27pm

Sighters from a recent 50m match. Top left was the first shot out of the barrel, then the group in the middle without changing the sights. Wind was fiddly, so I put six or so in that group to make sure I had my adjustments nailed. Looks like it was okay.

If only the rest of the match went so smoothly...

FLOYDSTER · 17-10-2009 8:44pm

Bleiker barrel shooting in, 50m at Comber - I hope this is the start of things to come!!;)

I only had 100 rounds of this and this was on my first card!, second group to follow!;)

FLOYDSTER · 17-10-2009 9:00pm

2nd Group and probably one of the best I've ever shot!;)

It wasn't me! · 17-10-2009 11:24pm

Those fives or tens there FLOYDSTER? Either way, stonking shooting. Looks like you like that new gun. IRLConor and Mike will have your arm off at the elbow for it I'd say.

rrpc · 17-10-2009 11:27pm

Eh, you know those targets are inward gauging Floydster? You don't have to get them all inside the ring to score tens

Nicest groups I've ever seen, what ammo was it?

I recall him using Centre-X he got in Germany a while back, might still be on that batch. The Centre-X I'm using is brilliant stuff as well, best ammo I've had so far.

LOL!! , only 5 shot groups outdoors today from the shoulder prone, although outdoors at Comber I'd be happy with 5x 10.1's

Never met a ten yet that I didn't like.

If you want a real challenge, come to Fermoy next week. Tricky range, but very nice indeed.
