First run at the N50 target

[JimNM]

Wow, I almost choked on that big old humble pie

Two buddies and I are going to the National50 shoot in Raton, NM the first week of September.. I signed up.for both airgun and .22, thinking why not? I am making a 7 hour drive to get there....why not shoot em all and enjoy getting an education from the other participants??

I am pretty confident withy airgun and was confident with the .22...was. Apparently dinging steel targets does not translate to paper directly.

We put up the practice targets after a long warm-up. We don't have the plugs yet so scores were figured on the rounded holes in my printer paper. I shot my Kral .25 and a Savage mark II, while J. shot his own Savage mark II. The wind was 2-4 mph and mostly steady.

I have a lot of room for improvement. 191 and 194 for me and 206 for J.

September will be here soon. See y'all there.

I'm tempted to compete at a N50 event if there's one near me (Virginia). I have a Cayden.22, Condor .25 and CZ 455 .22LR. I shoot 50 and 100 yds every day.

Jim….the .350 plug will help your scores quite a bit if you are shooting pellet or sportsman. We are gonna have a fun time in September.

Stretch, you need a minimum of two shooters to start a club and participate in the agg line. Nothing stopping you from starting your own club. We will help anyway we can.

@Mike, I sent you a private message.

It's getting better, today I shot a 220 raw. No oversized accounting just the hole in the paper. It was soft printer paper, not card stock so there may be some tearing issues there. But it's getting better. Can't wait to see you guys up there at the Whittington center.

I shot a 241 raw (no oversized scores) this a.m. with 5x... getting a little better.

Good shooting, Jim….that’s probably 246-248 plugged.

Wind was near zero for most of the card. I really enjoy the format and the discipline required.

Hey Jim! Hello to John too

Great scores Jim. Lots of improvement quickly. Isn’t it addictive? I find myself really looking forward to trying a card whenever I get a chance. Great fun and very challenging too.
