Standing Offhand CHALLENGE

[260 Rem]

The Challenge so many have been waiting for....To shoot three consecutive groups, with four shots in each group, on a single sheet at 100M (or yards) from a standing off-hand postion....from a rifle chambered to legally hunt Big Game in Alberta.
THE RULES
* restricted to centerfire rifles exceeding .23 caliber
* no restrictions on rifles, upgrades, optics, or rests
* must be shot from standing off-hand postion without sling support

To Post Pictures
* requires three "groups" with four shots in each group on a single target paper, with no group larger than 8" measured C - to - C at 100M/100yds. Four shots only in each group, not five or six.
* requires you post a picture of the rifle and give caliber / model details

This is an idea of how you can set up your target to comply with THE RULES. If you use, stick-ons, just make sure there is a bit of distance separating them to insure no hidden "fliers".



This is a CHALLENGE, not a contest..

NOTE: Sorry, I included "rests" in the second line under rules...which are of course not permitted.

That make palm rests out? As in;

[260 Rem]

32-40win - You wouldn't take that beauty out of the safe to shoot would you? Yes, "palm" rests made of human skin are fine for the front!

I dunno why not, we shoot them all the time - if there isn't 3' of snow on the ground that is!

i ca easilly group wthin 10 feets

do you have bigger targets ?

[32-40win]

Mine ain't quite that nice, that is a pic I had handy to illustrate the palm rest.
However, I could do the part about digging it out. Have to clean out the powder from the action from the last time out, fix the breech seater stop, make a batch of lube and lube some boolits. That may take a week or two to get accomplished.
There are a few people in Ab that could contribute to this thread with these setups if they choose to.

My targets from today I'm trying now for opensights my tikka hunter just missed with 2 shots 30 06 there is 13 there the one on the 10 ring is a sighter. My scoped rifle I'm trying for 6 inch it took 14 to hit with 12. This is the howa 243 I was complaining about on another thread but it's now a favorite. The trigger is good even if it might as well be single stage and it turned out my leupold 12x scope was not moving the cross hairs half the time on horizontal adjustment no wonder it was all over the place. The 30 06 load is 110 gr privi round nose . I have got them to shoot close enough to my full power loads which is good because I ran out and shot the last 4 rounds with 150 gr. And 48 gr of n140. It's 26 gr n110 in the privi load.

[260 Rem]

Nice work Marxman. I'm still avoiding this Challenge. You going to send that Leupold for warranty?

[kujoseto]

I’ll be practicing and working toward this over the summer. Might only get out a handful of times.
I just found my optimal charge weight this past weekend so time to load and practice until Sep 17

Consistent offhand (like every discipline) requires a unique skill set ... and a lot of practice. My hat is off to those that can pull this one together.

[glen moa]

I practice. bench loose bags. Bipod with chair and free hand. Because that’s what I use while hunting.
I’m pretty sure I can do it with three shots.

[kujoseto]

Another bump...
it’s that time of year to be practicing up.
Pretty sure I have a better chance at this bow than any rifle
