Pursuit of Accuracy is a good YouTube channel.
I thought I would share his Flyswatter challenge video.
Here is the link to print your own targets

That looks like a fun target and thinking it isn't easy at least for me. As soon as I can shoot my break barrel I'm going to try it.

I was able to get out and participate in this challenge today. Here is a link to the video:
For me, this was really hard because I had 15+MPH wind that was switching all over the place, and this was pretty unusual for my range. I was watching my flags, but they were often reading differently when they were only 20 yards apart.
So, I killed 10 of the 25...which sucks, but it is what it is. There you have it.

First try at the fly challenge. Using my 22lr. I think next time I try it will be with a shooting bag. I’m really loving these shooting challenges. Thanks for the fun times!!

This seems like fun. I have printed off a couple of targets.
Can someone tell me if there's a standard range for this challenge?
I can shoot 15 yards at home and various ranges at my clubs.
Anyway I'll have a couple of goes at it this week and report back.

I did mine at 25 yards, and @Ogleorama shot his at 30 yards. The targets are so small, I don't think you could really do it all the way out to 50 yards. I would say to go with it, and shoot them at 15 because that is what you have, and the next time you are at the range, go out to at least 25 yards and see what the difference is. This is SCIENCE!!

I’ll add rule #6: Everything must be on video including tape measured distance from firing line up to the target.

Won't be following rule 6.I’ll add rule #6: Everything must be on video including tape measured distance from firing line up to the target.
Not that important to me just seems a fun challenge to try.
Not expecting to impress anyone anyway.

I now have to convert metres at one of my clubs, 25 and 35 metres.
I'll try a few distances and at one of my clubs I can shoot 22LR so that might be fun.
I can even borrow a rifle and shoot full bore at 100 mtrs.
Might take a bit of time to get some results on this.

Too bad. That’s why challenges have to be documented so that what everyone posts are true and not just “hearsay”.Won't be following rule 6.

Anybody can just post pics and say “I shot this target at this distance” but actually the target was shot at a near distance.

I agree but not everyone has that facility,or wants to spend the money to enable it. Even then it's not infallible and it's more by way of a personal challenge to me and an indication of my improvement or otherwise.Too bad.

I don’t think that any of us are heading to the Olympic Trials and I didn’t notice any major prize money announcedToo bad. That’s why challenges have to be documented so that what everyone posts are true and not just “hearsay”.

. We are just shooting these challenges for enjoyment and a bit of camaraderie. I would actually feel a bit sorry for anyone who would cheat just to get a few “at-a- boys” from fellow members. Trying to video myself would take some of the enjoyment away from the shooting; and frankly if my fellow members needed proof that I wasn’t cheating then I’d rather just “take by ball and go home“.Kenny

Same setup but with QYS 9.56gr at 30.2 -30.4 yards using my LRF
I am still taking videos when I shoot as part of my training before competition season starts.
