It took me 4 tries to get this one. The red dot really helped me.

There's gotta be more than 10 holes in that one!

Nice shootin'

9.) There will be two divisions....centerfire pistols and rimfire/.22 pistols. You can shoot in either of those categories or both. It makes no difference to me. Just submit a different target for each if you want to do both. And please mark on your target if it's a rimfire submission.

Within those two divisions will be a women's division as well (not that men are better shots or anything).

I believe there should be a change done to this rule, since now people can use red-dots. 4 catagories, would be more approperiate. 1: center fire pistols iron sights 2: rimfired pistols iron sights 3: center fired pistols open sight (red-dot/laser) 4: rim fire pistols open sight (red-dot/laser).
this evens out the palying field for every one, and more people are willing to participate. just my

Dig the FNP-9! Just got one in their tan color. One of the finest shooting 9mm's I've ever owned...

I don't have enough money to buy ammo for the winners of all of those divisions

And there's just not enough participation as it is for that many divisions. Really, looking at the particpation so far, we technically have too many divisions as it is. All SigGrl has to do to win the women's divsion is make sure no other women enter, and she wins (for just shooting on month) We'll never be able to please everyone, and I want folks to be involved.

As far as sights, etc go, I personally don't think there's that much more of an advantage with red-dots, lasers, etc at the distances we're shooting. I could be wrong...I've just never been more accurate at the range with a laser vs. without it. Also, red-dots help some of our elder shooters who might not even be able to use iron sights to focus. There's just too many variables.

Next year I'll make some changes, probably take away the prize, and just have one division; shoot whatever you want, any caliber, etc. That way it won't be as serious and just strictly be for fun. We'll see.

I do appreciate the input though. We'll keep evolving this thing, one way or another.

For both! Winner of each division gets 2 boxes of ammo.

I will be attempting tomorrow.

I went out the first week of the month but the contest rules weren't up ..

Gotta collect some debts to get ammo for next month . . dang it, these monthly contest are draining the bank.

But it is nice for a new shooter like me to have a reason to go to the range once a month.
