Thread: Target Shooting

Well had my weekly shoot this Thursday.

Things were going well at the start but then I started to over think everything and my form went out the window.

Coach spent some time with me to get my form back on and make some tweaks to perfect it. Did better after.

Lets hope that next week is better!

Well let me start by saying I am a rifle instructor, shotgun instructor, RSO and chair of the rifle committee and teach 4 position rifle so I have been doing this for a bit. I shoot a Vostock CM2 which is a retired Russian Olympic rifle from the 70 something Olympics. The rifle was beat to death when I got it. Bead blasted the all the steel, black molly teflon finished all of it. Stripped the stock and hit it with some metallic cobalt blue and light texture black on the palm and forearm. Sight are aperture and globe. I actually got 17 of these to use for teaching. The trigger is next to non existent. I have it adjusted down to a razor break with a 1 pound pull and it will go down to 0.3 ounces. Butt plate is adjustable and the cast on the rifles are for right handed shooters.



These are 5 round sighting groups




And my last target set for the prone position of my NRA/Winchester 4 position distinguished expert ranking. Those are two round groups.



Fun rifle to shoot. Sub 1/2 MOA at 100 yards as well.

Well, the only real "target" gun I have is this Lipsey's limited edtion Ruger Mark II 4" bull barrel. In truth, I've killed more mice with it, loading Colibri powderless, single-shot. I can drive nails with this one.


Then there's my 1955 HRA M1 Garand... Shot a few NRA Service Rifle matches with it. She's dead-on. I'd deer hunt with this one with iron sights, no problem. (Otherwise, I like setting up next to an AR-15 shooter and ringing that 500yd. steel gong.)


I've shot a few informal IDPA-ish matches with this Springfield I did a lot of work on. BTW, that's a deer hide it's laying on from one I harvested a few years ago.


The last time I went out with my own gun was to test this new TGI FPK 7.62x54R I found at a show. The target below it is a full mag, semi-auto offhand at 100yds. She'll do...




Last but not least, we were tearing big holes out of the center with a rented UZI the last time I went to a range in TX. Wife wants one now... (that's my Kimber and her M&P laying on the bench)

Went to the club to try out one of my 10/22 that i just put together.
