Below are the rules from the challenge that began on this forum one year ago today.
____________________________
THIS IS A CHALLENGE FOR YOURSELF. THERE IS NOTHING PERSONAL. IT IS NOT A COMPETITION. IT IS UP TO YOU AND ONLY YOU TO DO YOUR BEST AND LEARN FROM IT.
The target is the 100 Yard Unlimited Match and must be printed on 65 lb. Card Stock
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PCc_bNidaPtRd6ywdP4dISZhLMYYE1-g/view Thanks to Jahnj0584, this link currently works (as of the July 22, 2023). Should it not reproduce, please send me a message with your email and I will send you a printable pdf version.
For anyone who can't get the target printed, I will be happy to mail to a limited number of shooters copies of the required target on 65 lb cardstock. Please PM me with a request and mailing address.
The challenge is to shoot three ten-shot groups with a 22lr at 100 yards or meters.
Here are the requirements for the challenge:
You must use a 22 long rifle.
There is no restriction on action type or cost of the firearm or scope.
You may use any 22 long rifle ammunition you wish.
You must shoot three 10-shot groups at 100 yards/meters.
All three groups shall be inside the respective seven rings and unobstructed so that the group can be identified.
All three groups must be on the same paper. The sighter target does not have to be used.
You must show the full sheet of paper. Keep all shots inside the 7 ring to aid in determining the group.
There cannot be anything on your target that could be hiding any group or bullet hole that is not part of your "official" attempt
All the attempts at the challenge must have been shot after the challenge was issued.
Please include distance in Yards or Metres plus the following:
1) A picture of your rifle, scope, ammunition and rests you used with pertinent information.
2) A picture of your full page target with all three groups visible and the overall group size minus your subtraction factor equals the center-center score for each target and the group average written on the target
3) A picture of your largest group with a set of calipers to verify the group size. (Include the grey bullet smudge on the outside measurements.)
Edit August 9, 2022: For simplicity and uniformity of information, please post a picture of the target with group sizes and overall average. Your post must also have THE GROUP SIZES AND AVERAGE WRITTEN IN THE POST
The subtraction factor is 0.22”. Group size minus SF equals center to center group.
1.465 - 0.22 = 1.245
Please put all your info into ONE POST. If you forgot anything please EDIT your post to include the missing info.
ALL POSTS MUST HAVE THE REQUIRED INFO. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO IGNORE THEM UNTIL ALL THE INFO IS INCLUDED IN THE POST!!!!!
Any reference to a good group, congratulations, or questions should be directed to the person posting by way of a personal message. Dilution of the intent of this thread will spell the end to maintaining the site. In a PM ask the poster to clarify. My only entry will be the instruction page(s), pictures and targets as required for a post.
Edit August 9, 2022: Please, only those who enter a target should post. Use PM to ask questions or make comments.
Most importantly, have fun and be safe.
Edit to add:
The photos below are included as examples of the nature of the photos that should accompany each post.
Below, a picture of the entire target, complete with group sizes and three group average.

The largest group, below.

A picture of the rifle. Shooters should include relevant information with the picture.

For the Target: The very first entry on the 22 Rimfire is a sticky: Online Matches: Rules
Scroll down to the 100 Yard Unlimited. Otherwise PM me you email address and I will forward a printable copy.
Results will be posted on #3.
Comments about entries are welcome in the discussion thread. There is one for 2024. There have been similar threads for previous years.
Congratulatory comments to a shooters post should be accomplished by clicking on the persons name and sending a private message.
That is what I will be doing when a shooter posts and meets the standards of the rules.
THIS IS A CHALLENGE FOR YOURSELF. THERE IS NOTHING PERSONAL. IT IS NOT A COMPETITION. IT IS UP TO YOU AND ONLY YOU TO DO YOUR BEST AND LEARN FROM IT.
If you achieve improvement over previously posted results, please post them.
