My ultimate goal is watching you make that 300 yard off hand shot.

 

Area Weapon and Indirect Fire

I'm not good for much more than suppressive fire with my .22 at 300 yards, and past 500 yards I have my son get a grid on the target and he gives me a call for fire. :bthumb:

Enjoyment and accuracy at our own pace I think sums most of the replies up.

It may take me a while to get out to 300 yards, but I'll get there. If not
I'll borrow a field radio from Captain Flounder and call in some big shell
support.:bthumb:

 

My goal is to be reasonably accurate out to 100 yards, while making noise, many holes in paper, all while spending less than 20 dollars in ammo and do it all day long.

 

With my sporters, when I'm shooting paper, my goal is to have all sub-MOA groups at 50 yards or better, and with some of my sporters, I'm looking for the 1/2 MOA group.

Mostly, just striving for greater consistancy and accuracy every time I shoot, no matter what the target.

And always, my first and foremost goal is SAFETY!

1/2" Groups consistently at 50 yards from a bench, pistols and rifles. Finding that one rifle and one pistol that I only go to and know what it will do for any situation. For example: instead of taking 6 rifles and 8 pistols to the range, only taking one rifle and one pistol and really becoming confident with their capabilities. So if I am squirrel hunting I know where to hold at 15, 30, or 60 yards for a head shot. Or if I see a cyote at 100 yards and I want to shoot it in the ear then I know where to hold. Or if there is a clay pigeon laying at 175 yards and I want to impress a buddy with one shot then I know that I am going to hit it. Then perfecting those shots in different shooting positions, lighting and weather conditions.

In short becoming the "the Ultimate .22 Shooting Machine."

 

I Second That:



I agree with you completely. I think being profficient with one rifle is far greater of an achievement than being mediocre with ten rifles.

My problem is; I always seem to find another gun that I want.

I really need to work on being satisfied; then work on my abilities with my favorite guns.

 

To have fun.

 

Well said!

My goals are the same as Mr. Hilljack's! :bthumb:

 

To Relax

A nice day at the range trying to get the best group I can with about 20 different types of ammo, talking to the guys at the range, great fellowship. Spending time on this forum is nice also. Looking for that good deal on the next Rimfire at local pawn shops. I find it all very relaxing and a lot of fun.

 

My goal is to score a 40/40 shooting silhouettes. But I'm not gonna kill myself doing it :Blasting_

I'm also working on my offhand technique (which is the reason I don't shoot 40s!)

 

Goal,

To limit out on Grouse this fall, via head shots with a my new rifle.

 

It depends on several thing. What I am doing is first, plinking, hunting, competitive shooting. This then determines which gun I will be using. Plinking on of the several semi-autos I have is first up. Hunting then probably one of the bolt guns with decent accuracy. Competition would require either my Mossberg 46B(b) or the custom 10/22 target gun. Then of course there are this handguns which have their own little world all together. Oh and I can hit shotgun shells from 100 to 120 yards 3 out of 5 tries.

 

I shoot extreme long range because its fun to see what you are capable of doing and the practice makes you way better at close range small game hunting

 

Goals? We don't need no stink'n goals!

To find an North American made .22 rifle that will shoot 1/2 inch groups at 50 yards with bulk ammo. Must be less than $300 dollars. I have 11 so far, and only the T/C's are close. I got them new on a clearance sale. On bolt actions, only the Savage FV is close, got a Marlin 980S on order, hoping for the best. Heck, I would settle for 3/4 inch groups at 50 yards. We are talking out of the box accuracy, with bulk pack ammo. I am using a MTM sled. Target ammo with the above mentioned rifles is not a problem, but I know there must be one somewhere that will deliver the goods with bulk ammo. When I find it, I will let you know. Yea, I'm a dreamer.....lol ! Paco tool, here I come!!!!!!?????? Perhaps not? (Patsy Cline singing "Crazy" in the background?) LOL!!!! It may be just me, but it does seem as though bulk ammo is not as accurate as it was in the 60's and 70's.

 

Rimfire goals...........clean kills.
CF goals..................ditto.
Shotgun goals.........lots of dittos.
Handgun goals........buy low, sell high.
M/L goals.................cheap dittos and lots of fun.

 

To hit the next squirrel I shoot at.

 

I would like to get good enough to shoot my pistol at 50 yards accurately. Both the .22 and 9mm.

I would like to be accurate with my 22 marlin 50 to 100 yards. I don't have to be exact, but I would like to be as close as I can get.

Our range goes out to 100 yards so I am limited to that distance. No real problem, gives me a goal to go for and makes me stay withing the limit before pushing for more range.

Oh, and most of all, I want to have as much fun as possible.

Why shoot a handgun, unless it is a hunting handgun, at 50 yards? Combat range is out to 15 yards with the standard training distance of 7 yards, yes just 21 feet. If you can do 25 yards accurately with your handgun you are good to go. I can shoot 100 yards with my Super 14 Contender, but it carries a 4 power scope.

 

To shoot a 250-25x on a IR 50/50 target.

 

To make Master Class in both rifles shooting Small Bore Silhouette. Then of course to shoot the ever elusive 40/40

Besides that I would like to get my offhand hold to 2 MOA @100 yards consistently.

And of course lots of fun and good times with some meat in the pot for dinner. :bthumb:


Bo

 

Win my local Schuetzenfest one more time in rimfire and at least once in centerfire.

Get all of my rifles to shoot one hole groups at 100yds or die trying :Blasting_ :Blasting_ :Blasting_ :bthumb:

 

Simply for enjoyment. Some folks like to play golf, play cards or whatever. I've just like to shoot since I was a little kid. Never got tired of it. 61 years down the road and I still look forward to shooting the rifle I got back then just as much as I did when it was new.

 

Hear, Hear

Good quote above. Getting very good and very versatile with one rifle is a philosophically sound proposition for me. But like Blacksheep, for me it is still too difficult to not always be looking for new hardware... :bthumb:

 

+1

 

My curent goal, to go five for five shooting golf balls off tees at 50 yards from offhand postion. Have to confess I haven't tried in awhile. Prone is a given and kneeling is very consistent. This is my method of practicing for squirrel hunting. A golf ball is about the same size as a bushytail head so whatever range I can consistently hit a golf ball at from any position is the distance I'll limit my shots to. Kind of goes with Digital Dan's goal of clean kills.

It is a simple goal, just to push my personal shooting limits.

 

My goal is to get a few squirrels with my new mk III hunter this weekend with open sights.:Blasting_

 

1. Have fun and be safe.
2. Shoot consistantly small groups at the range, with my hunting rifles.
3. Hit and cleanly kill, whatever I'm hunting.
4. Share the fun of safe shooting with my boys, and anyone who wants to learn.
