Posted this on another board, but seems they never get out to the range--just sit around looking at their guns and debating theories. Just kidding. Maybe I can find some sympathy/advice here...
"How can Bianchi Cup/NRA Action Pistol and ICORE/S&W International Revolver Championship matches be so difficult?" I sez to myself "They use these tombstone targets with an 8" (!) sweet spot, for crying out loud!" True, the 4" X-ring is actually the deciding count at these levels, but still...
Well I got a bunch of tombstone/NRA D-1/Bianchi targets to get accustomed to them and do the classification shooting in preparation for taking part in the S&W IRC in June. Can't see the d**ned scoring circles at 15 yds (not supposed to be able to) and end up with an 8" cluster at 9:00 at 25 yds., lapping over the X-ring and two other rings.
Grrrrr! I do much better than that on IPSC silhouettes, so what gives?
This is going to require (be a good excuse for) some serious range time and assistance from more experienced tombstone shooters. Got to make that entry fee worth while!
