Milsurp Target Competition and Shoot (2011)

[jmoore]

NOT AN ENTRY! RECEIVER NOT ELIGIBLE.

We decided that REPLICA receivered weapons are not eligible, such as M1a (M14 clone), so this target from an an old favorite WON'T count.

But it wasn't bad, so I'll show it off anyway. Not bad for a GI barrel and an unbedded stock..


"Does the camera flash make my butt look fat?" , she asked.




So, now gotta find another category three entry. OH, the horror- Having to shoot more!

NOT AN ENTRY! RECEIVER NOT ELIGIBLE.

Well we have been busy here with the Graduation of my Granddaughter from Highschool. But now I can concentrate on my shooting. I was printing out the target posted at the beginning of the thread, but I ordered some targets centers that match the measurements given, they are B-17C. The main object is group size, not score but I aim to work on both.

I will get some photos of our range, it is for members only and measures 100, 200 and 300 yards. The public range is 50 and 100 yards.

Great idea, and thanks. I get lonely at my range: I'm about the only one who shoots milsurp. Everyone else shoots race-guns, or nearly so with a gi-gundo scope. I always attract attention with whatever I bring. It's very satisfying to walk downrange and realize that 60 year-old eyes plus 60 year-old rifle with iron sights (my favorite -- Irish contract Enfield) plus 35 year-old ammo (Greek .303) can almost outshoot the Hubble Space Telescope on the next firing point (I work at NASA).

Let me get warmed-up, and add to the fun.

Hi,

Great shooting!

This target is at 100m using an L42 A1 1974 dated with chordal rifling. POA was the centre of the target for 4 shots. Note, for the shot slightly left of the group the POA was the 9/10 ring. 1 warmer shot was fired. Ammo is ex military MHF 1962 dated ball.

Cheers

Well done!

Oops! Whilst "thanking" I just noticed that my only entry to date is missing.

Category four: A thoroughly modified Type 38 Arisaka with a Winchester Model 70 .220 Swift barrel.



For way too much detail on the rifle and shooting session go to the thread linked below:

(There would be more entries, but I fell down the strairs and wrenched the big toe of my broken foot and the doctor doesn't want me traipsing about more than required! [There's a long stupid story behind all that.])
