I know, a Hummingbird egg would be most impressive.

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

mute the computer?
I dunno, I just remember her and "Gunny" shooting some full autos a few years ago and remembering it was enjoyable... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVEi11KgTCQ&t=400s


*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.

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.

Oh, does anyone know of a class offered to this style of shooting? Id love to start learning the proper technique & form.

Seem to remember mention of someone who knows/is a biathlon shooting coach here too. Anyone know who that is/was?
