2017 204 Ruger Five Shot Challenge

[Tarrin]

I would bet that if we had a poll of the shooters, the majority would also agree that Skipper should shoot. It is a honor shoot among those that enter and I really see no conflict of interest, rearing it's head, among us. Bill K

I totally agree. If there were piles of money at stake, it would be different... But this is a friendly competition. I think you should go for it.

I accept the Challenge. And, Thank You All so much. It's a pleasure to serve this forum.

So what group size won last year?

[skipper]

The all time smallest group was shot in the 2008 Challenge:
Hawkeye Joe - 0.234

We use On Target software to measure the groups.

There was a question a few posts back about those of us with multiple 204s. I have 2 and am also wondering if I have to choose which rifle to use or if I can shoot a target with each? Not trying to make this any more challenging than it is. Thanks, Randy.

Question: Is the judging only on group size or is it group size and relationship to the bull?

[skipper]

Judgement is based on group size WITH a tie breaker being distance from the center of the bull.

Excellent. Thank you.

So the real Challenge, is firing the fifth shot. There's something about firing that last shot when you have an otherwise competitive group going. Its almost magical how that last shot can be so far from the rest. At least that's my experience.

So True!!! I can't count the times I have had fanatic groups going and threw the last shot

Glad you're gonna join the fun Skipper.

I hope the target you send me has a bigger bull than the one you posted. JK

I vote that Skipper gets to shoot too.

[kWm]

Pm sent. Lookin forward to giving it a try!

[jpx2rk]

I'm betting my "one" shot group will be just as competitive as everyone else's.
