On July 24 last year I posted a thread with a similar title. It's purpose was to help develop interest in the 100 yard .22LR challenge.

This year there seems no reason to wait. I want to encourage all .22LR shooters who wish to enter the challenge to do so.

Without including all the details in this post, the basic requirement is shooting three ten-shot groups at 100 yards at the same target as everyone else, with a three group average as the overall goal of the target.

If you are interested, see the details and rules in the 100 Yard .22LR Challenge thread https://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php/2297200-100-Yard-22LR-Challenge

The target to be used will be the same. Although the link to the target in the first post of the Challenge thread appears to no longer work, I will be happy to email anyone who needs a copy a pdf of the official target. PM me with your email address. Again as in previous years, the targets must be printed on 65 lb card stock.

Because only valid targets are to be posted on the challenge thread itself, this thread may serve as a discussion thread. Readers can ask questions, make comments or obsevations, and otherwise discuss shooting .22LR at 100 yards.

If you have questions or comments, please post them in this thread.
 
This remains a worthwhile challenge.
At the Mission DRGC the targets used are similar for 100 metres; at Ridgedale the target i scaled for 100 yards.
At Mission the monthly competitions also shoot at 200 metres and this has been equated to 1000 yard shooting centerfire.
100 yards/metres equates to 300 y/m competition.
I support this venture.
 
Thank you Grauhanen for organizing this challenge!
I will be shooting it. Just post the new 2023 results thread and I am sure you will get results pouring in.

You're welcome.

The results for 2023 are being listed in post #3 in the 100 Yard .22LR Challenge thread https://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php/2297200-100-Yard-22LR-Challenge
As of this date, there are four entries for 2023 already.

Anyone wishing to post a valid target is welcome to add it to the thread linked above. The more entries, the more it will be bumped to the top of the Rimfire forum.

This thread will be for questions, discussion, comments, and targets that might not be for the Challenge thread itself.
 
Does it really matter since you're still measuring for group size? Unless you use irons, I can't see a 0.2" difference at 100y making a lick of difference in your final outcome. I usually aim at 1.5" circles or less for POA.
 
For anyone who is confused about the target to be used, it's the same one as last year and the year before. It's the same one seen in photos of qualifying targets in the 100 Yard Challenge thread. It's the same one that I email a pdf copy to anyone who asks. It's the same one I mailed 12 copies on 65 lb cardstock to a number of shooters last year, a few of whom actually shot the challenge.

The target looks exactly like the one shown below (minus the 40 bullet holes).

I think it is more of the rules keeping them in the ring, and not a visual thing. 0.2 could be difference in qualified target and not qualified.

I printed some from 2021 and they were 3.1, and the 2022 targets were 3.3 OD rings and I didn't change any settings, maybe Mel hosted a different target file I dunno.

But which size target rings are yours? Because I just take a un used target slap it in my scanner and hit copy.

If you scan a printed hard copy and then make a copy from it, either from a flat bed scanner or the one built into a printer, the lens and track movement of the scanner almost always distorts the image, and this gets magnified if a hard copy copy is made from a hard copy.

Printing at 100% scale from the original PDF file sent from the computer to the photocopier direct is the best way to maintain proportions as close to the original as possible. That said, any photocopier that prints from the PDF can still produce distortions and shifts, although its usually far less distortion than copying from a hard copy.

Thanks, I did not know scanning would change it. I'm not much of a computer person. The Printer is attached to my wife work PC for printing labels. Guess I'll hide the file on her PC and print that way in the future.
