I swing by the range this weekend or next. Who's coming with me? I should be hiring the range this weekend too. I'm going to try it for the lulz, not saying I'll do better then anyone but things like this amuse me. Anyone know if that target is printable somehwere? +1 to this. 2nd one, I think. http://www.mtstate.org/misc/OSU-Pistol_Targets-50.pdf |

You will fire one full magazine from you common carry gun using factory plinking ammo at the target. You still adamant about that? I haven't bought non-defensive factory ammo for most of my pistols in at least five or six years. 
I won't be able to make it to the range until Sunday. Still not enough light to go after work and they've got the pistol bay taken for a CCW class all day Saturday. |

Seriously dude, you need to put the call out list and rules in the OP. This is really confusing, and you are not very good at it. Somewhat ironic that the OP lacks a stated porpoise. Delineating the challenge, or whatever it has evolved into, in the OP could save a lot of trouble. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I really like that stippling! How was it done? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Target is as close to 21 yards as I could eyeball it (it's at minimum 20 yards). Standard NRA bullseye target. <a href="http://s630.photobucket.com/user/TheHiddenMan/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20160207_164852_zpsqqde3uuk.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i630.photobucket.com/albums/uu24/TheHiddenMan/Mobile%20Uploads/20160207_164852_zpsqqde3uuk.jpg</a> Shot 15 rounds, first target of the day. <a href="http://s630.photobucket.com/user/TheHiddenMan/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20160207_165239_zps5g3n0wdb.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i630.photobucket.com/albums/uu24/TheHiddenMan/Mobile%20Uploads/20160207_165239_zps5g3n0wdb.jpg</a> Gun is the G19 that I carry back home. Trijicon HD sights. Ammo is 115gr Perfecta 9mm, green and tan box from walmart. <a href="http://s630.photobucket.com/user/TheHiddenMan/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20160130_161855-1_zps2aamq6na.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i630.photobucket.com/albums/uu24/TheHiddenMan/Mobile%20Uploads/20160130_161855-1_zps2aamq6na.jpg</a> Longer ranges, it's all about the fundamentals. I'm far from the best. The black circle was almost completely obscured by the front sight. But that doesn't matter. Front sight needs to be in focus, perfectly centered and level with the rear sight. I really like that stippling! How was it done? Guy I work with did it. Youtube, "how to do starburst stippling". Pretty good for his second stippling job ever  |

Posting any other targets here other than ones obtained through the rules of the challenge are invalid and mean doo-doo squat. So don't waste the bandwidth.
Except for the sample B-3 target provided above of course. |

Rules are posted in the OP and are set in stone. The only edit I will make is to add a list of people who officially earned the right to say VBC sucks at shooting with impunity. |

This whole thing started with you seeking validation from GD, and claiming to be hot shit in your small pond of the local range.
It's turned into you creating a callout thread, with the challenge being to shoot averagely at an average target at an average range. Your challenge is average, your targets average, your attitude average, your wit average. Heck, in defending your averageness you've stated you are of an average age with average length of shooting experience. I don't think there would be any LESS of a reason to participate in your challenge. #average |

Funny story, callout threads have long been considered trolling. In your game of one upsmanship who are you to say what is trolling and what is not? What rule states non-participation in a callout thread is "trolling"? Feel free to ignore me, it's not going ot drive me nuts at all. I'll continue to watch you self destruct as people outshoot you at your own challenge, the same people that you claimed you shoot better than. Enjoy mediocrity! |

I love all the pictures in the thread that are five yards short of what you challenged them to as if it is close enough
And also all the pictures taken of targets that look more like 5 yard targets than the 15-25 yards claimed 
Maybe super trainer Madcap72 can show us some youtube vids of his shooting so I can decide if I want to pay him 100$ an hour. I mean I can look up vids of pretty much every known instructor out there so someone as good as Madcap72 has got to have some vids

Here is my target the other day with my new 686, 12 shots all shot double action, quite slow and deliberate at 10 paces: http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt112/gryphon1994/20160204_163811_zps52czyor8.jpg I forgot to bring a screwdriver to adjust the rear sight up. And then there is this video I did shooting steel targets at 8 yards:  http://youtu.be/-WpLA0J8mO0
I haven't shot much at say 15 yards or 25 yards. EDIT: so I don't know what my targets would look like at 50 feet and with a faster pace. Nice shooting. Actually pretty avg for a 686 at 30 ft. Almost cheating using a nice Smith or Colt Wheel gun on a challenge like this. back in my college days, when I was doing a lot of pistol shooting I could hit coke cans at 50 yards regularly. today, I don't know if I could see the can that far away. Well, I could see the can, my near vision is lousy, I probably couldn't see the sights clear. |

I'm down with this. It oughta be witnessed though. Or filmed. You put a beer can at 50' and the average pistol owner would be lucky to hit it once in 10 times. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Quote HistoryQuoted:

So you come on here to ask people how you shot, then proceed to tell them they're full of shit when they tell you something you don't want to hear. What is the point of even asking then? I'd say that is average shooting. There are many naturally good shooters here that could actually get a grouping at that range. Myself not included. I consider myself a bad shot. My targets would probably look like yours at 16 yards too. That's good enough for me though. I just wanted to see how many people were full of themselves. And I bet you couldn't hit paper but once or twice at 50 ft. Start an "Official 50ft pistol shooting for groups" thread, big shot. I'm down with this. It oughta be witnessed though. Or filmed. You put a beer can at 50' and the average pistol owner would be lucky to hit it once in 10 times. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. whoa whoa whoa. What goes on here. Why would anybody shoot at a full beer can? and in the interest of safety why are you shooting at an empty beer can after drinking beer on an empty stomach? |

OP, question for you, or anyone else with the same problem. At what age did focusing on the front sight become hard. Serious question, not calling anyone out, just curious when I can start looking forward to that. I started noticing it around age 40. I never wore glasses and still have 20/20 vision, but you start losing your near field focus with age. They say when you're a baby, your near field focus is the best. Children can focus on objects and inch or two in front of their eye. A 40 year old can only focus like 10-12 inches in front of their eye and it keeps getting worse as you get older. I have to strain my eye a little to pull the front sight back into focus. They say that in Switzerland, children were used to assemble the watches back in the old days since they could focus up close. I don't how true that is. |

I once scored 335 out of a possible 300 on one of my reserve unit pistol qual shoot. That didn't count the 5 holes out of the rings. they made me re-shoot. something about the people on both sides not having near enough holes on their targets. I shot a 285. Ma Danby got a Shield for Christmas. Hasn't been shot by either one of us yet. I've got some afternoons off next week. I think I'll go to the local indoor range. Haven't been there in years. Used to go to and outdoor range for my cowboy action shooting. but it's been 11 years now since I started working weekends. Have been out to the desert a few times, though. hmm. |

If anything, if this thread gets people out shooting more and having fun, it will have all been worth the effort. Good luck. See how well you can do on the challenge too.  We're talking shit, but it's all in fun and games.

Target is as close to 21 yards as I could eyeball it (it's at minimum 20 yards). Standard NRA bullseye target. <a href="http://s630.photobucket.com/user/TheHiddenMan/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20160207_164852_zpsqqde3uuk.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i630.photobucket.com/albums/uu24/TheHiddenMan/Mobile%20Uploads/20160207_164852_zpsqqde3uuk.jpg</a> Shot 15 rounds, first target of the day. <a href="http://s630.photobucket.com/user/TheHiddenMan/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20160207_165239_zps5g3n0wdb.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i630.photobucket.com/albums/uu24/TheHiddenMan/Mobile%20Uploads/20160207_165239_zps5g3n0wdb.jpg</a> Gun is the G19 that I carry back home. Trijicon HD sights. Ammo is 115gr Perfecta 9mm, green and tan box from walmart. <a href="http://s630.photobucket.com/user/TheHiddenMan/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20160130_161855-1_zps2aamq6na.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i630.photobucket.com/albums/uu24/TheHiddenMan/Mobile%20Uploads/20160130_161855-1_zps2aamq6na.jpg</a> Longer ranges, it's all about the fundamentals. I'm far from the best. The black circle was almost completely obscured by the front sight. But that doesn't matter. Front sight needs to be in focus, perfectly centered and level with the rear sight. That funny dent in the edging and similar incidents is why I don't usually care to go to the local range |
