c10bonanza Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 .22 caliber? What distance are you shooting from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofman Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 They shoot this at Camp Perry. I thought it looked fun. How about a little intro on what it is and how to get started with the basics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie-pete Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) We had a Monday night league at my old gun club that I used to shoot. I used an Anschutz, but not all pimped up like yours. Also shot a 52D. Edited August 29, 2018 by willie-pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueiron Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I used to shoot 3 position smallbore competition before my eyes got too old. Anschütz Super Match 54 made in the early 1960s and Winchester 52 C and 52 D heavy target models were the rifles of choice. The best ammo I found for any of these rifles was Eley Tenex. Putting 5 shots into the same .22 caliber hole from 50 feet while offhand was doable with discipline and great quality ammo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooterer Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 Small-bore shooting generally is done with single shot .22lr bolt action rifles (bore dimension smaller than .30 cal). Anschutz 54 or 64 actions, Walther, FWB, Remington 52, Kimber 82 and other “thick” barrel, stiff action rifles. There are many disciplines of small-bore shooting, but the 2 most popular are prone or 3 position (sometimes 4). Gallery – 4 position shooting prone, kneeling, sitting and offhand (standing). Usually done indoor during the winter season. 10 shots per position, the targets have 12 bullseyes per target (2 for sighters, see my post above) and you shot one shot per bullseye. The target is set at 50 from the firing line. A perfect score is 400 and the top guys in our league are shooting 370-380, I shoot in the 330-340 range. Olympic 3 position – Standing, kneeling and prone. 40 shots each at 50 meters. Google Matt Emmons Prone – on your belly for 40 – 120 shots at anywhere from 50 – 200 meters (200 meters is usually called mini palma with a 55” drop) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janice6 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 When I was a kid I used to walk up to our local Armory and watch the shooters inside doing this. 20/25 feet prone with scopes and arguing if the tear from the bullet crossed the line around the bullseye. It was amazing accuracy and intense. I'm too old now, but it was a fascinating sport. Bullseye was the same size as the bullet (IIRC).

ede Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I've been to Perry, have a rifle that set a national record there, not me shooting. I've got a couple Annie's, couple Winchester's, one Remington. Really enjoy shooting them but for my own amusement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooterer Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 17 hours ago, ede said: I've been to Perry, the last couple of years the NRA small-bore championships have been held at the Wa-Ke'Da rifle range in Bristol IN. But I do have to ask, do you want to sell any of those rifles? (my wife hates it when I ask that question) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ede Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 No think I'll keep them. They're nothing special, not anything you couldn't buy. Annie 10 and 64, Winchester 75 and 52, Remington 513T. The record setting rifle is old Ballard set NRA National Record in 53. Eric Johnson 5 star barrel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ede Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Added another 52 with Unertal scope and no irons. My other 52 has Redfield Olympics and a SuperTarget. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ede Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I've got a Ruger 77/22 with threaded action/barrel and a Leupold scope that will shoot around an inch at 100 yards with Eley Target. No where in same class as what's been posted here but I like the looks of it and shooting it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooterer Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 Indoor Gallery leagues start next month. I'm at the club on a rainy day working on my off-hand. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ede Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I thought I'd like to try RimFire silhouette. Took Annie 64 out and sighted in at fifty with six o clock hold. That would put me on at seventy five and have to aim high at one hundred. Found out I can't stand up and shoot with any Accuracey past fifty. I'm going to try a 10/22 tomorrow and see how I do with lighter rifle and a scope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ede Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Been a while since I was here, I've added a third 52, Kimber 82, and a 40X plus a CZ MTR 457 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
