An egg at 300 yds with a .22? Is that Chick Norris in the real-real? Dang.
1st Saturday of every month, PPGC has a 22 plate match. They got those little eggs. Distance to target varies, from 100y to pistol distance. It's low round count, and the warmup before the match is alot of fun. Junior shooters are welcome there.

I'm guessing from a rest, it would have been a one shot one hit. Although I thought those first misses were low, not high.
I thought all those misses were………sexy!Quote:

The few i've seen, yes, but they're enjoyable for the most part.Quote:

I've shot paintballs with my Kimber 84G and a 10-20x scope at 100 yards -- easy from a rest but freehand standing is a whole other problem.Quote:

She's got skills and she's easy to look at. The first point is more important but the second is still a bonus.

*EDIT AFTER THE FACT - I just watched that video again after your comment and totally understand your point...
A video like this could be the subject of a sociology dissertation for sure.
What gun ?
Well, this thread is sure encouraging to the youth out there

Think the first time I shot a .22lr was down @ one of Hoser's side matches a couple years ago & before I had any precision training. If I recall correctly the target was @ 170yds & a 1" -ish diamond. Took a couple rds to hit from prone. I had to ask Hoser how to run the rifle & dial for the correct elevation because Id never used a bolt/precision gun before. Just before I had cancer I could reliably hit 3" diamonds, offhand with my carbine @ 300yds but being medicated has had lasting side effects & I know I couldn't hit an egg offhand with a 22 @ 300yds now, even on my best day. When I'm feeling more like my old self, I'll give it a try because it looks like a challenge Id like to be able to do & I'll learn from the effort. Need incentive to finish my .22 precision build anyway. Thanks for sharing the video Aloha_Shooter.
CRC has standing offhand silhouette matches every month in both 22 and centerfire calibers. The rimfire match only goes to 110 yards and she is shooting a smaller target at 300 yards. Average size of a chicken egg is 2.5” to 3” so that works out to 1 moa for her shot at 300 yards. Silo targets are roughly 4-5.5 moa size. Come show us how simple it is to do this. First time shooter entry fees are waived, so it is free to try.
That's awesome. I can't wait to come & learn. Thanks for the heads-up.Quote:

Seem to remember mention of someone who knows/is a biathlon shooting coach here too. Anyone know who that is/was?
Silhouette shooting is what I do. I host smallbore matches at Green Mill in Erie every third Sunday of the month also and frequently shoot highpower the first Sunday, out at CRC.Quote:

Pm sent. Cheers!

I was multi-tasking and had the sound turned off on my computer when I watched it. She looked like she was loving every minute of it.Quote:

I?m just wondering why she hates chickens enough to kill them before they?re even born. Savage.

It's a bit of a haul for you but there are regular sessions at the Olympic Training Center facility (or there were ... I don't know how the pandemic has affected things there). I always had conflicts but have been meaning to try to get back into it for years. My eyes are starting to go as is everything else so no way I'll do as well as I did in high school but I just need to go shooting.Quote:

You notice in her stance, she kind of leans back from the hip -- that lets you use your hip (or beer belly) as a base to rest your elbow so your forearm is offering structural support instead of using muscle to keep the rifle up. I was taught to use my open flat palm as a rest (some guys made a fist instead and rested the rifle balance point on their fist). No fingers on the stock as gripping it can induce micro-motions.
Went to my first Silo shoot today @ AGC. Very nice people who were welcoming, easy going, eager to help me learn & several even let me try on a few different rifles. I had fun. Managed to hit a few targets on each of the four relays too (yes there were giggles) Funny how them bitty chicks were the most trouble being the closest & I scored the fewest points on those. I think having a rifle that's more ergonomicly correct for me would go a long way but in the interim & until I have more context & can practice, I'll make do. Still sorting my form obviously & tried something a little different on each relay to see if there was something more comfortable & stable...but for my first time I'm not unhappy with my experience or score. Think I preferred the heavier rifle over the lightest but idk. Thank you Wolfshoon for the invitation, introduction & use of your gear today!
Looking forward to trying another match later this month.
*few of you here might get this reference but this could be an opportunity/reason for me to finally own a 'pistachio' - Ha!
:)
The heavier rifle tends to be more stable and the weight doesn't matter much if you're taking a stance where you're using your bone structure for support instead of trying to muscle it. When I was shooting in high school, the top shooters invariably gravitated to the heaviesr rifles.Quote:
