My best target thread ?

WA Nationals Light Gun High Score 59.02

Copperhead 103gn
ADI 2208
Stiller Python Action - LH dual Port
Jewell Trigger
Maddco Barrel - 8 Twist
Shehane ST1000 tracker stock

Whats better then one 200yd target of 58.2 ? It has to be two 58.2 targets shot at the Nationals at Wanneroo WA 2018.

Jude had the WA state record for a while until Belly shot his incredible target  with the same score but a fantastic  1.67 group.  

NSW State Titles 2018.

What a weekend with some excellent targets being shot.

Arguably the best would have to be Leannes 200yd rimfire. Not bad for her first shoot in many many many years.

Best Target 59.04 & Group   1.14"  (yes, that's a screamer patch)





Anthony's 200yd "screamer" of a target



And when Grant's not shooting a target that scores a national record for highest score (refer to page 1)  He's shooting the best target (58.01) in LG and the best target (59.03) and smallest group (1.163") in HG.

LG
Borden BRM,
Krieger barrel ,
Hunter LR stock.

HG,
Bat MB,
Bartlein barrel,
Hunter LR stock.

Both rifles chambered in 6BR40,
Berger 108’s
2206h with federal 205 primers.
 







And last but not least

James's   LG smallest group 1.515"




Now I just have to find a picture of Belly's  "Screamer" of a target as I know he is too modest to post it.

the 6BRX is still on fire after the Nationals, just a club shoot this one and i have now taken the barrel off and put away again till its needed again 1680 rounds on it
the 1st shot was the 9 i then held off and next 4 went into an inch.. scored 253.7

Wow Stuart that's bloody brilliant. We are so impressed with our BRX we are having our 6BR  re-chambered to a BRX also.

We finally got the chance to shoot the 284 in comp and our initial thoughts are definitely positive.

PS: I beat Dad in heavy gun with it in the  NSW state titles  & would have done a bit better had I not put 2 bullets on the wrong target


These were my 2 best targets.

Savage BR (of course  )
Bartlein .284 5R, 8.5 Twist 30″  1.250 straight taper
Berger 180VLD   50.9 2209,    Jam 10thou

I'm uploading this target photo for Jethro.

Wagga Blue Heeler August 25th 2018, LG 500m

Screamer patch target, 1.105"

6mm Dasher
Dual port Barnard
ST1000 stock
Nightforce 12-42x56 Benchrest CH3
Berger 105gn VLD
2208

500m at Wagga. With my new 284 barrel. Got to hate when the group opens because of a fly.

G'day Nick,  

Jethro is just so consistent, in fact everyone down south seems to be.  Didn't you earn a "screamer" patch at Wagga also ? You'll have to post that target and Ill have to ask  Barry to send me a picture of his target so I can add it too.


Wow Fred, That's unreal, wish I could shoot our 284 like that.  What load (powder, projectile,etc) are you using and what barrel & action etc .

Lapua 180 Scenar L
50.7 grains of AR2209
Barnard PL action.
30 inch Hardy Barrel that Russell recently fitted for me.

Here you go Pete, another screamer from down south!

Wagga August 2018

My 1st Screamer Patch target - just snuck in, 1.211"

HG
Maddco 1:8 twist, 30" 1.25" straight taper
6mm Dasher
Jewell trigger
Nightforce Competition 15-55
Berger 105gn VLD
2208

That's amazing Nick! Well deserved  Dad and I would love to earn a screamer patch one day... maybe we should move down south and you guys can show us how to shoot  

Wagga also earned me my best ever 300m target, and I shot it with the 308. My first time ever getting 5 10s.

Savage 12 benchrest (of course)
Maddco 30" 1 in 13
167 gr Lapua's   (.010 jump)  
44Gr's 2208.
Vortex golden eagle.

That's a ripper target Stella, great shooting!

It's not easy getting them all in the 10 ring and even more challenging with the .308.

You and Peter are shooting very well so you'll have to make the trip down south to Eagle Park at Little River

And here is another "Screamer" from Wagga. This is Barry's target, measured 1.134.

I was very lucky back in 2011 at the March shoot. Scored 59.1.    AND.    I am coming down for my first Fly Shoot in approx 6 years in Sept 2018
Cheers Malcolm

My best heavy gun target from Huntsville.  7mm 180 grain Berger hybrids.
Joe

My best light gun target from Huntsville last Saturday.  6mm Grinch shooting Bart's 103 grain Dominators.

Joe

G'day Joe,

Nice targets. It's a pity that one bullet got away on your heavy gun target, 2 and  7/16  is still a beauty though,  (if my translation is correct that's 2.437")

The light gun target is a bloody "screamer", I think it translates to 1.125".

Great Stuff       

Thanks Peter.  As best as I can measure the light gun group, it's about 1.150" or so.  Wish it had been centered up.  I could not see where the group was forming until about done.  But, it is fun shooting one that small for sure.
Joe

Okay new to this page, and new this year to 500m Flyshoot. Thanks to the guys at my local range in Mackay for the encouragement.

I have managed my first fly hit in our last local club shoot. Finally got one of those stickers....



And my best group was on a warmer target back on my first or second go at Fly...
