I had what I thought was going to be a great fun target to shoot at for one of the future fun shoots. It was going to be on the pistol side. I thought let's try an amusement park trick and let's use the star target and try to shoot out one of the stars. Well, 120 rounds later I still could not get that last little bit at the top. Got most of it by around 80 or 90 rounds. As OF would say, too sadistic.

The top star was about 60 rounds and the bottom star was 120 rounds. Damn, that was hard to see and line up sights or my red dot even at only 25 yards. Check it out:

funny, we were just talking about "shoot out the red star" at hdf range day...

Distance: 50 yards
Rifle: Savage MKII .22lr Heavy Barrel
Sights: Irons Lyman
Ammo: SK
Sling in prone.

95 top target
92-1X bottom

That sounds fun. I'm not sure I can make out those stars at 25y.

Ren and Heavies, that's some nice shooting.

So you are a masochist and a sadist.
Was your handgun shot from bench or standing?

I never denied it.

The first 80-90 rounds was shot standing. The last 30 or so were shot from the bench. Yeah, I got tired.

Great to finally meet you at the range!   Your target wasn't too bad. 

Sorry I didn't get to meet up with you on Monday Inspector.  In addition to shooting the .22 I was also trying to troubleshoot a new upper I put together. It was really irritating me.  I didn't give it my best go.

I did see Edster and dustoff as I was leaving.  Sorry I was in a rush. Which is occurring way too frequently lately.

Inspector,
Was JHanawahine the winner of the target frame?

Yes!!!

J is the winner of the target frame.
Bushido is the winner for class 1.
Heavies is the winner for class 2.

J wins the custom made target frame. Both Bushido and Heavies each win a box of hard to find Blazer .22 ammo. 

Thanks to everyone who participated! I wish more of you would upload your targets as I have seen numerous targets out there over the last few weeks.

I'll come up with the next target and rules in the next day or two for June's Fun Shoot.

Thank you Inspector for putting something like this together. I haven't shot my 22s on paper for a really long time. I do feel although you are volunteering to organize these fun shoots, your targets should count every month as any other forum member's. After all you are shooting the same target and these are "fun shoots".

I too saw several guys having a go at these targets but haven't seen them post them. My thoughts are if you really want to learn, you should participate and post. What really do you have to lose? You will probably meet some really cool guys that are as passionate about rimfires, and shooting in general, as you and can  share some knowledge. I do shoot in various positions when I can. I have never shot unsupported prone slung like Ren and Heavies. I'll probably never shoot service rifle competitively but I kind of want to learn this position now. Props to all those that did participate and post. It takes a man to put your stuff our there for all to criticize.

Thanks Bushido,

It is sort of weird to be digging into my personal stash of .22's for prizes and then if my targets are entered and I do better than everyone else, what do I win?    I'm just happy to see others participating. And I hope the new people coming on board will get involved as well.

I also want to thank Heavies for the target frame prizes he is supplying.

We'll see how the standing position shooting popularity is going to be. I find it challenging. Some have said I am a sadist.    That could be true.......

I will say one 2A member I talked to didn't know this fun shoot was going on. I too don't usually check the "stickies" section so spreading the word might be needed. I will tell those that I see at the silhouette side when I get back.

Thank you for donating some ammo from your stash as well as Heavies for that really nice target frame. For me the motivation is just to learn, get better, meet new fellow shooters and most of all send lead down range  .

thanks Inspector & Heavies.heres a pic of my 22 rifle(my only 22LR firearm).Savage BSEV,DIP scope base & Vortex CrossfireII 6-24x50

So letting me know this just gave me an idea. I'll try and make some flyers to put up at the range. I won't have the time until later in July. Thank Bushido!!!

Nice Rifle J!!!! Is that a Boyd's camo stock you have on it?

thats how it comes from savage but I believe it is the evo stock.

Really nice rifle. I have a few Savages and they are all really accurate

thats how it comes from savage but I believe it is the evo stock.

Yeah, evo stock in camo. I have one on my 10/22. I have never seen a bolt action version, though. Very NICE!!!

It seems to shoot really well with SK match but somebody bought the last brick....

I can toss in some 22 ammo for prizes.
It might be kind of old, so no guarantees. But its free!

thanks,and it's more accurate than I can shoot.It seems to shoot really well with SK match but somebody bought the last brick....

It wasn't me I swear. Lol. I went to buy the last brick and it was gone. I wanted to try a box of the Eley Tenex but even that was gone. My wallet thanked me.
