[Ga.Smokey]

Sounds interesting. I picked up some shoot and see 6" targets tonight. Will try to get out to the range sometime later this week.

Awesome welcome sir!

Is there a issue with the pdf?
Does it print right?

 

[Decay]

no, that was a joke.

By the way, I learned who you are. You've got a pretty impressive resume and website.

Not gonna lie, I tried today. I’m still working on loads for the LRX 45. First target this morning just wanted to see where my adjustments needed to be. The group was bad. I thought well I’ll try again this afternoon and I did. The groups were still bad. So either I was having a bad day or I still haven’t figured this bone head out. Last week I had a 3 shot group at a 100 that was 1/4” so I was excited about moving to 200 today. Yes I was deflated! Will I stop NO! Maybe soon I will have one worthy of posting.

If you had a group it had to have been good. Lol, mine did not even put the 1st hole in target nor the cardboard it was taped on.

[Decay]

Very nice!

 

[Ga.Smokey]

Very nice!

I let that one fudge down I felt it going just couldn't stop the pressure in time.
I think it's capable. The nut behind the trigger needs to tighten up a bit....

 

[smokepolehall]

I can see right off the bat i am going to be on the bottom. Unless its red or orange 6" target i can't even see it at 100 yards. Forget 200 yards.

Not sure where this should be based, but we'll start it here. We're not shooting LONG RANGE, so it doesn't belong there.

I’m curious if same size target is used at both distances and is the scoring the same.might get more guys to reach out a little further for extra points .cause a little mistake at 100 still get points but at 200 could end up with zero .just curious.I’ll play either way.looks fun.

According to what's current, yes, the targets are the same size for 100 and 200yds.

Alrighty then, a 6" target. Of my 7 rifles only 2 have glass on them for shooting those yardages. I am in big trouble. That's ok i know how to handle this.

 

[smokepolehall]

I will get out & shoot but i am letting all these storms get out of here. Have 70 mph wind gusts about 5 miles west of me now. Baseball sized hail has been verified, tornado watch n warning has been declared.
