100 yard game of HORSE

[sargent]

I shot the drill last weekend and did not do well. I taped up the holes and tried again today. That trekking pole only shot was terrible for me (0/4 on paper), so I don't think I'll be trying that one on game this fall.

H - 40 4x
O - 20
R - 30 2x
S - 0
E - 27 1x

Total - 117 7x

I've been having fun with these challenges. Thanks to everyone playing.

Looks like some folks were out shooting critters instead of paper this month. Are you going to make a course of fire for October @Carl Ross ?

Looks like it. I'll put something together.

How’s it looking.. Sept got away from me. I have a few weeks till my next hunt

 

[mxgsfmdpx]

Sorry I was out last month, work and personal travel kicked my ass. Plus a little hunting mixed in.

I’m busy with hunting from now until January so hope you all have a good Fall and early Winter

It looks like I dropped the ball! I haven't had any time to get to the range and I want to shoot it before I post it. You could always shoot the Hunter's drill...

Works for me! Would love to hear the story on how you came up with the hunters drill

That’ll work. I’m over due on that drill.

I was bored at my engineering job, I needed to be there but didn't have any tasks at that moment.

I envisioned a "postal" match for positional shooting with hunting rifles, if it was successful I hoped to do a bunch of them, essentially exactly what we're doing here. I have since realized the downside of postal matches: without anything to win and without your friends to hang out with like at a real match, most people don't have the right personality to participate if they aren't performing well compared with the top guys. There's fortunately enough people with the right mindset on here to make it feasible.

I made up the targets and the course of fire. Simple scoring systems appeal to me, which is why I made it binary (hit or miss) with different sized targets to match the positions. I wanted it to be reasonably accessible, which is why the first round is untimed. I also wanted it to progress. Finally, I liked the idea that you could do it with a 20 rd box of ammo.

I posted it on 24hour. Some guys liked it and participated, but it got more discussion than anything. I was never sufficiently motivated to do a second round, and as I've said before Form has gotten more out of it than I ever did.

It’s a fun drill and I really think it has improved my shooting. Thanks!

Man, this was great practice for this fall. All of the timed offhand shooting paid off. I had a 75-80 yard offhand shot at a bull, without a lot of time. Didn’t think twice and center punched him in a matter of seconds.

Nice job! Congratulations

My man! Hopefully people remember their scenarios from this year and we can incorporate them.

I shot the drill today... just barely made it into the double digits. I numbered the rounds in which I took the shots. I timed out on the timed prone shots, so there is only one on the target for that string.

Offhand 3
Kneeling unsupported 2
Seated supported 2
Prone 3
Total 10/20

I got to the range yesterday and made a course of fire for January. The positions were based off of shot opportunities I had in the field this year. I used this target

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d2/e8/da/d2e8da1feaebbe45557079b8a1a5de75.jpg

I just hit print and it printed the top and bottom across the short side of the paper. (I printed on a piece of paper my kids were drawing on. Disregard drawing on lower left.)

Shots are scored as noted on target, on paper outside the circle is 4. E has to be in the 9 to count. All shots start from standing.

H- 2 shots. On paper. Standing supported on tree, post, etc., 20 seconds
O- 2 shots offhand. On paper. Set timer for 2 minutes, start timer and acquire target offhand, hold your aiming position until the timer hits one minute, shoot one shot, run fifty yards and shoot another before timer goes off
R- 2 shots. On paper. Seated unsupported 20 seconds
S- 2 shots. On paper. High kneeling (think about being on your tiptoes, but on you knees) supported by tree, post, or other vertical support 20 seconds
E- 4 shots. 9 ring to count. Build and break prone with items you take hunting. No time limit

I haven't been shooting as much during hunting season and it shows. Practice with snap caps also revealed a flinch creeping in to my shooting. Lots of room for improvement here. Show me how it's done boys!

Right on. I was thinking about this last night.
