For a long time this product was about $12/ream and that's what I mostly used. Now that the price has increased (along with everything else). I'll have to re-evaluate next time I order.



thanks,

100y Mini-Palma Match
175/6X - CZ457 MTR unmodified - SK Std+ On 07/12/22

 

[Sky Blue Lou]

First try at 100 yards. Had to shoot prone as I don't have a bench set up yet. New house-new range-new excuses. One more excuse - I kinda rushed to get this one in as the Vudoo is heading back to Utah for an update to resolve a FTE issue. I guess it's fairly common and they're great so off she goes tomorrow. - I think there is actually a 3rd X on target 4 but target 3 is sketchy so no worries.

Just acquired this CZ 457 MTR. I put a Weaver t24 on it. Milt in MN.

I know what you mean about being rushed. I had a half hour at the range to setup and shoot the two that I did. I didn’t feel rushed, but didn’t dilly dally either.
Good shooting.

 

[Quickoz]

Actually, it’s 8.5 x 11.

Pretty sure A4 is 8.5x11.

Cheers

Close enough, as long as the target is printed actual size and not ‘to fit’.

RFS99

Of course, I don't have the benefit of having that target sitting in front of me but bull 7 sure looks like a 10 if plugged? and 11 is clearly an X so 200-6X and I see some that plugged might be more X's

Here's my first submission. Looking forward to getting a better score in August.
I participated when Larry and Norm were running this match from their living room.
This is a great move by them and hopefully will entice more shooters to come and play.

 

[Hi-NV Shooter]

Larry, here is my second rifle for UL 1411 Anschutz. I corrected the plug notation bull 15 was P10X 14 is obvious an X

Norm/Larry - Greetings from KY! - I been wanting to shoot this match again for years. Finally, I got a day that was hot and windy enough and raining cats & dogs, so off to the range I went, lol. Conditions were terrible and it shows. I shot at NEK on 7.10.22 but had to dry the soaked tgts for several days before attempting to score them. First one is the Factory card with my CZ457 VPT. All were shot from bipod & rear bag. Hopefully, I scored them right. Please ignore the random bullet holes at the top of the factory card. I squeezed both the Buck Memorial card and several other tgts onto the same stand to avoid going out in the rain over and over and one was overlapping the record card. That was my bad.

 

[JG26_Irish]

On to the Mini Palma. This one kicked my butt. Was testing ammo and still breaking in the Tango and the result is not great. Its a work in progress. Wind, rain, dark of night, yada, yada. Thanks for doing what you do!

Hello. First time I've tried anything like this. Noob to the sport. Pics of my target, my range and my rifle. If I have scored myself incorrectly apologies in advance - Please correct me. View attachment 7907951View attachment 7907952View attachment 7907953

 

[Greyknife]

Sky Blue Lou. Good shooting. My thought is that you should probably have a higher score as when you printed the target it has 1/2 inch margins at the sides. Many of those submitting targets look to have 1/4 inch or smaller margins on the sides. I am having the same problem having wide margins. How do I get my printer to print like most of the competitors? Maybe someone can help me as this is the first time on the William Buck site. I plan to start shooting this and am not too tech savvy. Thanks Greyknife

Look at your printer settings or the document settings. Try different settings like print to fit or actual size. Then make sure you don’t have margins pre-determined. Let us know how that works out.

Thanks for the assistance with printing the correct size target. On my Canon printer I clicked the 94 size in settings and now I have a correct sized target. May not help me too much , but at my advanced age I need all the help I can get. I am new to this forum and am really looking forward to competing and mostly having fun shooting. I shoot in ARA competition with a 40X and a benchmark barrel and a tuner. My stock is an original Remington 40X. My front rest is a plain Caldwell and my rear is a leather Protector. Fairly simple stuff. My plan is to shoot in the 50 Yard Unlimited Class and have now printed out some targets. Does it look like I am heading for the correct class?

Greyknife, yes. it sounds like you would be in the Unlimited class, with the custom barrel and tuner.

Glad to be of assistance for you. If you need anything else, just let me know?

Thanks and good shooting!

Here is my July Unlimited target. Low wind and 72 degrees. The enclosed photo of my 40X Remington and Benchmark barrel. Note that my rests are quite simple compared to my competitors in ARA unlimited competition.

 

[Greyknife]

Enclosed is my Factory Rifle target for July. Shot this today under perfect conditions with low wind. Considering this was Norma Tac 22 that I recently purchased for about $4.00 per box I am quite pleased.

My results for the 50 yard shoot this month.
Toasty at the range this afternoon (for this neck of the woods anyways), 32 degrees C, CAVU, winds light and variable. I reckon I shot a 200.11View attachment 7921795 using the 1967 Walther KKJ-T with aperture sights and Lapua Flat Nose Basic. Sure would be nice to see some other folks try out their irons/apertures so we can compare notes. I'd like to give the Mini-Palma a try with my Walther, but I'd need an all-black bull to get a sight picture. Anyone else interested in opening it up to us iron/aperture shooters?

Ken, take a look at the target attached, maybe even shoot it a bit, and let me know what you think? Let me know if you need any further modifications to shoot as an Iron Sight Target. If it's ok after you've had a chance to check it out, then I can add a Iron Sight Mini Palma match at 100 yards. I've attached the white version along with the new black version so you can compare, as needed.

Let me know what you think?

Thanks,
