Re: 2018 Going Postal 5 Shot Challenge
I'm still waiting for the last targets to show up here. I made 2 trips to the PO Box today, just in case. The suspense is killing me. I bet it's killing you, too?? Have patients, it'll all be over soon. There's one target that is going to be really hard to beat.
Hold 'em & Squeeze 'em
Re: 2018 Going Postal 5 Shot Challenge
so i am super disappointed to announce that the target that i mailed on friday was officially returned to me today... probably the best 5 shot group that i have ever tweaked out of my gun, and it gets returned to me a day after the challenge ends...

Re: 2018 Going Postal 5 Shot Challenge
I would at least like to show everyone here how I did bc i am sooo proud of this group that i put on paper, but i have no idea how to post a photo....

Re: 2018 Going Postal 5 Shot Challenge
Send me a copy via email, I will see if I can not get it to show. If not someone else will I am sure. Kbill1@frontiernet.net Bill K
Re: 2018 Going Postal 5 Shot Challenge
Thank you bill, email has been sent. I only took 3 attempts at it, this group being my 3rd try. The other 2 werent much worse, nothing to complain about for sure, but the 3rd one i think could have been a contender. At least I now know not to wait til the last minute and not to ever trust the post office in my town, i will go to another zip code to mail things in the future, this isnt the first time this post office has let me down unfortunately...

Re: 2018 Going Postal 5 Shot Challenge
By the way Bee, that would be a mighty fine one and be right up there, I believe. Bill K
Re: 2018 Going Postal 5 Shot Challenge
Thank you. It always seems to be something for me, last year I didnt get to put a shot on paper bc i ended up working out of state for the entire month after i recieved my target, and this year i only got one range session in and my target gets return to sender'd. Hoping for a miracle to happen for next year lol

Re: 2018 Going Postal 5 Shot Challenge
Why not score that target, showing group size, etc. and send a photo of that for posting, for a show and comparison down the line ? Bill K
Re: 2018 Going Postal 5 Shot Challenge
I would, if i knew how that was done haha. I can look into how to score it and whatnot. Basically i reload my own cartridges, hang the target, hit it with the rangefinder, and make it go bang. That is about as much as i know about it. Do you just measure center to center on the farthest spread in the group or? I can get the calipers after it when i get home from work tonight if that is all I need to do...

Re: 2018 Going Postal 5 Shot Challenge
FIrst read Skippers notations on how and what to score on the targets, for this fun shoot. I measure outside edge to edge. I believe some measure center of hole to center of the opposite side. At least you can have a measurement for us to see, even if it is a rough one. Bill K ( when you get one marked, send that to me and I will post it up)
Re: 2018 Going Postal 5 Shot Challenge
Ok I will get one both ways, center to center, and outside edge to outside edge when i get off work. I should be home in the next 2hrs or so. I've already been here 12hrs so it shouldn't be too long.
