Different type of indoor shoot
« on: May 06, 2004, 09:17:17 AM »
Being new to the indoor .22 shooting thing, I assumed everyone did it the same way.  I guess from responses to a previous post that I am way wrong.

Just thought it may be nice to pass along what we do.  As stated in another thread, we shoot at 42mm paper milk caps (kind of like a cardboard that they use to use to seal a lid on the old glass milk jars.  Some call them "pogs").    Each person can draw a small bullseye, grid, whatever onto their target.  Everyone shoots  a single shot (standing)at their target.

After each shot all the targets are collected and placed on a a spinning platform.  By spinning the target slowly a dial will measure how many .001" your shot is off center.  

We shoot 15-25 rounds a night in about 1 1/2 hours.  A prize is awarded to the winner of each round.  The low score of each night also gets an additional prize.

It is a great time and everyone has many chances to win each night.  You use no more than 1/2 a box of ammo on any given night.  The first time I went I was lucky to hit target at all half the time.  Now I hit it most of the time.  My best score is a .070" off center.  Good but not nearly good enough for the high score of the night.  That score is usually around a .025"  and every year or so is a perfect .000" off center.

Just wanted to share my experience with this type of indoor shooting.
