I kid, I kid, I can overlay it tomorrow

When I walked back to from the 100-yard line the first time I could barely see the dot with my bare eyes and thought "damn, this is going to be interesting."

Then at 6x I had fun watching the center dot on my reticle disappear and reappear on the itty-bitty black dot on Sargent's target.

Simple pleasures...

I just hit print and it printed the top and bottom across the short side of the paper. Outside of circle is 5 1/16" on my target.

Target:

^Ha!

Sorry about the target switch fellas. It seems to have caused some confusion. My target was printed across the skinny side of the paper, so I think we all shot at different targets.

Looks to me like @Bluumoon won so far. I might try to shoot the drill again with the original target from the beginning of the thread. Honestly, I'm just glad to see some participation in this thread. I have enjoyed these challenges.

I'm fine reshooting too. Or yielding success to @Bluumoon.

Overlayed mine on the provided target. Let’s stick to the B8 targets, hunter drill, and maybe the Kraft drill as those should all be standard printable targets.

Here, because I’m lazy and no one did it last time. …

100 Yard Hunting Rifle Test from equipment vs practice thread.

Print out one each of these targets and post them up at 100 yards. This works best if you are using a setup that can be zeroed dead on at 100, however if you zero at a different range (200, 300, etc) is that zero as it will show using hold unders for hitting realistic targets. Each string starts standing with all equipment in hand or on body, I.E.- wearing pack, hiking sticks in hand, etc. If you carry empty chamber- all strings start with empty chamber.

DO IT EXACTLY HOW YOU CARRY WHILE HUNTING!
(They need to be printed out at 100% scale, and then they are still in shooter MOA, not true MOA). All shot at 100 yards.


STRING 1: No time limits.

7MOA = 2 shots offhand
5MOA = 2 shots sitting unsupported
3MOA = 2 shots sitting or keeling with sticks or backpack
2MOA = 2 shots prone (can use a pack, but no rear bag, no bipod)



STRING 2: Is a repeat of string one, but with a 20 second par time. I set a timer on my phone, if the shot isn't taken BEFORE the buzzer, it doesn't count.


7MOA = 2 shots offhand in 20 seconds
5MOA = 2 shots sitting unsupported in 20 seconds
3MOA = 2 shots sitting or keeling with sticks or backpack in 20 seconds
2MOA = 2 shots prone in 15 seconds (can use pack, but no bipod and no rear bag)





STRING 3: is a "medley". One shot from each position, with a 60 second par time.

60 seconds to go fromstanding with all gear strapped in, to-

7MOA = 1 shot offhand
5MOA = 1 shot sitting unsupported
3MOA = 1 shot sitting or keeling with sticks or backpack
2MOA = 1 shot prone (can use pack, but no bipod and no rear bag)


It's scored out of 20. A decent score is in the 15/20 range, 17 to 18 should be the goal for the first year. It’s an excellent diagnostic tool as well as a great way to practice, and has a high correlation to performance with spot and stalk hunting shots.

Targets are 1st post here.

This isn’t in response to anyone I particular, but there is an up tick in the amount of “I want a XXXX distance hunting rifle” traffic the last few months. I am getting a lot of questions relating to this, which I do not mind helping, but thought a public post might help answer some questions. It’s an attempt to get to actually using your rifles.


People online tend to act like 600/800/whatever yards is a rifle, cartridge and BDC scope purchase away. When someone asks for advice, or says I’m building an -insert whatever rifle/cartridge you want-, people are discussing hardware not...

I’ve been fishing and killing chukars. I’ll get the rifle back out and try to get this done in the next week or so.

I'm going to sit here and work on 3moa target.

I'm shot it kneeling with the rifle over my pack and my hand on the front of the pack and searching for some rear support with scrunching and my bino harness. Wobble wobble. I did some dry firing after the drill in the same position and found a much more stable position to use next time.

I’m working on off hand before I commit to shooting it. I’m pretty bad kneeling supported, much better sitting pack diagonal away from body with legs wrapped around it.

I shot the drill today.
16/20 (one point off my personal best on this drill)

15/20
Timed out on the medley for prone intentionally trying to slow down a bit, dumb. Hard time believing I was off paper w one of the sitting supported.

On this portion do you start the time for the next position immediately after the 2nd shot on the current position?

Nah. More or less as much time as needed between.

Do you go back to the starting position for each one? I don't remember.

Yeah.
