PPK, Federal American Eagle, 12 yards. 3 hits, 3 misses.
You don't count the flier, and that one hole is touching the target, so you wounded it, and the one is a mulligan, so that counts too, so...by my hillbilly gun range standards, that right there is a Master Marksman Score. I know Rob, @OkieStubble would concur.... And the Canadians amongst us also agree because they are just NICE like that!PPK, Federal American Eagle, 12 yards. 3 hits, 3 misses.

Considering that is a very small target sticker, stuck to a piece of cardboard at 12 yards, you’re damn right I concur. Great shooting @ctr!
My eyes are aging so fast, that round sticker would be just a blur at 12 yards.
Amen. I'm never fully believed by my friends when I tell them I hit what I aimed at. Seems they all as old as I am!Thank you! The sticker IS a blur. The front sight IS a blur. Probably why I seldom hit bullseye at that distance.

It would damn sure distract him!I see 6 shots. Imprint 5 of those shots on a B27 Silhouette and those 5 shots turn into perfect shots.
Pretty sure number 6 would hurt also.
Happy Thanksgiving John!It would damn sure distract him!
And a Happy Turkey Day to you Rob and all B&B brethren!
Thank you, Rob! I've been practicing with some ideas that were suggested at my PRS class. The gist was a 2 finger gap between the recoil pad and my shoulder and no cheek weld to reduce shooter induced movements. Dominate hand runs the trigger and the bolt while the weak hand steers the gun via the stock or the objective bell of the scope. I swear my reticle used to look like an EKG the way it bounced up and down and it was a struggles to keep everything still. Now my rifles are dead calm. Feels weird but I'll get used to it!That’s some fine shooting Chris!

That’s how my uncle taught me to properly seat a shotgun on my shoulder. He has be stand with my shoulder braced against a tree then hold the shotgun about an inch from my shoulder and fire. It was only a .410 but it still hurt enough that I’ve always remembered the lesson.I can’t imagine keeping a 2 inch gap between my shoulder and stock with the likes of a 30.06 or .308?

I can see how removing most of the contact with a rifle would improve scores when shooting a .22.
Most of the shooters I shoot unlimited .22 benchrest with shoot free recoil. We set the rifle up for the shot and the only thing we touch on the gun is the trigger.I can see how removing most of the contact with a rifle would improve scores when shooting a .22.
Oddly enough, the fella that was giving the class shoots his .308 the same way. Now lets be perfectly clear... We are talking 18 pound .22s and his .308 tips the scales at 25 pounds but these are PRS comp guns. 6 or 7 pound ultra-lite hunting rifle? I'm bearing down on that sucker for all I'm worth!That all sounds contrary to what I learned of keeping the stock snug against the shoulder with a proper cheek weld. Talk about thinking ‘outside of the box.’
