Chillin at Bakersfield (Posed 2/18)
Today dad-in-law n i went to the usual 5 dogs range to compete at a psudo bianchi cup match hosted by Kern shooting sports. The weather was sunny, and warm, with a breeze. i've always wanted to try out a bianchi cup style match, originally created as a pistol match for policemen. It's never changed so the format is revolver friendly. Shooting 196 rounds (4 events x 48 shots from 10-25 yards) out of the 686 was pretty fun, and i won the match out of 12 people. i did have about a 20-year youth advantage so being able to twist my back at the barricade portion helped me out.
Scores:
Practical (draw n shoot) 455-16x out of 480
Barricade (draw n shoot behind a huge wall) 450-27x out of 480
Mover (draw n shoot at a gently moving target) 411-12x out of 480
Falling Plates (draw n shoot at 8" plates) 450-45x out of 480
Total: 1766-100x out of 1960-196x
Shooting the mover was pretty fun. Leading the sight slightly in front was pretty hard. Most hits were left to right due to the silly thing moving. The match was pretty mellow and nobody was sweating anything. It was more of a fun shoot than anything.
Shot some rounds out of the Springfield 1903 after the match to see how well it groups. At best it's around 1" at 100-yards but i know it can do better, i just haven't figured it out yet.
