Our club has recently introduced a new format target for our regular 25 yd indoor shoots - one of several we rotate through as we see fit at the time. I thought this might be of interest to others who also shoot benchrest as we do here. It's called the Low Score Target, the objective being pretty obvious. It's a combination of grouping and scoring with diagrams formatted accordingly, with a total of 36 shots per card. The concept was formulated and developed by fellow forum member Mercs and myself. The basic rules are as follows: Four shots per diagram, the central practice diagram to be shot first and can be substituted for any of the grouping/scoring diagrams. Not compulsory, but you can't substitute if you don't shoot it. The top diagrams generally follow directly after shooting the practice, scored on grouping size. However, there is no specified sequence for these and the low score diagrams, only the practice. The lower diagrams are inward scoring, a bull is 1, outside the rings is 10. A shooter must decide whether or not to substitute the practice diagram for one of the others prior to handing the card in for marking. The group scores are then averaged and multiplied by the total of the four scored diagrams to get a total. The lowest score obviously wins. Examples shot yesterday in .22 cal. Sing out if any further clarification is required.   ------------- Daystate Red Wolf .22 FX Dreamline .22 Diana Outlaw .22 HW98 .177 HW30 .177 FWB 124 .177 Diana 35 .177 Diana 340 N-Tec .177 Diana 34 EMS .177 Diana Mod 25 .177 Diana Two Forty .177 Crosman 2240 .22 |

And what is really stunning is that the shooting above was done with a homemade barrel (!) by KiwiTR6 on his Red Wolf!!! And the barrel hasn't even settled in yet! Brilliant performance KiwiTR6!  ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq7jVyBfFqE" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq7jVyBfFqE Air Arms S510 US .22 Air Arms S410 .22 Weihrauch HW97KT .177 Weihrauch HW95 .177 |

I'm out of town for the next week with only my phone. I'll post something when I get back. To temper expectations, my project involved replacing a poor performing ART polygonal barrel with a standard Lothar Walther rifled blank. All I did was machine it to fit. It was a challenge for my level of skill and old machines, but turns out to have been well worth the effort. ------------- Daystate Red Wolf .22 FX Dreamline .22 Diana Outlaw .22 HW98 .177 HW30 .177 FWB 124 .177 Diana 35 .177 Diana 340 N-Tec .177 Diana 34 EMS .177 Diana Mod 25 .177 Diana Two Forty .177 Crosman 2240 .22 |
