Backyard Marksmanship

Start date: 15 August 2001
End date: 15 September 2001
Type of match: Slow fire pistol
Target: See below
Range: 5 meters
Caliber: Any
Position: Standing, see instructions
Sights: Open
Shots: 15

For this match you'll use the pistol gambling target found in the club Photos section under the Official Targets section.

This target is scored like the rifle gambling target. A hit in the black area gives you that number of points, a miss gives you a NEGATIVE score of TWICE that value. Hitting a "16" gives you 16 points, missing 16 gives you -32 points. Don't overreach your abilities, or you'll turn in a huge negative score. Don't be too conservative, either, or you won't score well.

To make the stakes a bit higher, this match will be fired with 3 positions. 5 shots will be fired with a 2 handed grip, and add that score to the final total. Then you'll fire 5 shots one handed with your strong hand, double the score you get, and add that to the total. The last 5 shots will be shot with the weak hand, and the score will be tripled and added to the total. For example:


Two hands, 37 points
Strong hand, 8 points
Weak hand, -8 points
Total score: 37 + (2 x 8) + (3 x -8) = 29 points
