    Just for Fun Challenge

    Use any target that is 8" in diameter and shoot at a distance of 10 yards. Grab what ever pistol you have around and just shoot the target, or at least at the target, 10 times and post it. Let's see how we are doing. Here is my input. Shot with generic 9mm, I think they were 115 gr, using a Glock 19 at an indoor range.



    Good luck and have fun!

    I reloaded 3 times, you didn't specify single or double action so I did one of each. Had about an hour between early afternoon shower and late afternoon shower and took advantage of it. Must be getting really old here, I had a miss and my hand wrist and elbow were saying very bad things to me after the double action sequence. Old reloads, 210 gr LSWC 41 magnum loads just as hot as any of my JHP loads.





    I don't have any 8" targets. I had to use 6" SR-1 targets. Hope that doesn't disqualify me.




    Last time I shot this gun was last summer, 5 rounds at 100 yards. You gotta love the 41 mag even if it do bark and bite you like a bad dog that is only semi tame. Sure happy you didn't say it had to be rapid fire or I would have been so screwed.

    Nice shooting. Not a lot of rules on this one, just looking to see if other people are shooting besides us.

    I took your rules light challenge to two other forums, lots of interest but only two shooters. One used an Olympic style 22 at 10 meters to shoot a group I don't know if I could match with my rifle and the other guy used a colt SAA with black powder cartridges and hollered out "Fill your hands you sons of bitches." between each shot. He was all over the paper but that guy is going to be a lot of fun. He really got into the spirit of things.

    I'm afraid gunsnet is getting soft and all our shooters have become afraid of loud noises. I dare them to prove me wrong.

    I wish I could have seen that. I had to be hilarious!

    I tried it today with my cap and ball revolver but had trouble getting the caps to fire, had to shoot all of them at least twice and half of them 3 times so the hollering stopped but my shooting improved, I had a lot of dry fire practice.

    That looks at least as good as your .41 mag!

    So what did you shoot and where is it? Curious minds want to know.

    That was intentional! Make this as easy as possible.

    I did cheat a bit, as those are only 5" targets







    the 1911 was shot one handed.

    Nicely done on all! That string of 5 connecting shots with the XD is pretty impressive.

    It's not cheating if that's all the target you need.

    You're one to talk! I am happy to stay inside the 8" circle and you two are just showing off! I am just going to have to keep working at it till I am on the 5" as well.

    Not an insurmountable problem. You just need some time at Uncle Grumpy's bootcamp for aspiring handgun shooters. You already do very well with the long gun.
