I don't mind going first... Gives you all something to beat!

43/50.

Good shooting! Not like putting the pressure on us, huh?

Okay this was actually my first target, it only got worse...I'll post that in another thread!!

This was shot from a 1967 P64 at 30 feet with 95 gr, FMJ, Sellier&Bellot ammo.

47/50 (breaking the line counts for the higher score...right?)

1968 P-64, 94 gr Silver Bear ammo 43/50

1971 P-64, 95 gr Fiocchi ammo


Now that I am posting this I see why I should have used a dark background....There are five shots on the target, the one in the upper right of the 9 ring is very hard to see. I'll have to see about scanning it again with something behind it....

I am looking forward to the fall shoot. I had only fired about 30 rounds through the gun before shooting the target I'm posting. I think I could do better with a little practice.

1969 P-64 with Mesko 93 gr FMJ total: 46/50

After 50 rds of practice, my third target.

GUYS
I'm disqualified in this shoot for 2 reasons the range I go to is 7 yard , 15 y, 25 y, 50 y,on the pistol side and I shot the 7 yard and I'm donating the prize but paid my $2.00 and also shot this with my FEG BR-61




NORM

43/50. 5 shots @10 yards, Norinco Green Box ammo. My practice strings were tighter and more precise then my entries , unfortunately I chose to use a different target to practice with so I couldn't just submit one of those ::). This is allot of fun guys, I'm glad I could shoot with you (so to speak).

**add edit** Just made my donation.

Forty years ago the Army labeled me a marksman, and I can still shoot rifles pretty well, but with semi-auto pistols I let others test ammunition for accuracy!

I used my 1973 model and fired Jing An (Chinese) ammo.

I was real steady. The target kept moving.

2 bullets in the wide hole in the black!

Just looking at the targets and there are some really good shooters out there. I really had fun doing this and am looking forward to doing this again!!! Maybe next time I can get the durn target to hold still while I'm trying to shoot it!

THE RESULTS ARE IN!

I double checked everyone's score and approximated group size. Scores were added with a possible of 50 points, bullet holes that broke rings counted for the higher score. I measured group sizes by noting hole locations on the entry targets with their respective locations on a paper target and measured the distance across the groups furthest points.
