This video is from yesterdays Charlotte Rifle & Pistol Club's Military Rifle Match. The event was the "Drop 3 Standing" event in which the
shooter (in this vid, your's truly) needs to down three 8x13" steel plates at 200 yards from the standing position, 45 second time limit.

(MUST CONTROL FINGERS!!!!!)
Looks good Bill! (ARRGGHHH, I CAN'T!!) What, no bolt gun!? Ya sissy! Heck, I gotta crank it from the wrong side! I once went to a "3 Gun Hunter's Match" out at Douglas Ridge Rifle Club before I let my membership lapse (some guy got testy when I put a full magazine into my M1 Carbine.) I took along my Ruger No. 1 in 45-70, shooting a 500 grain bullet, my Ruger Blackhawk in .45 Colt, shooting a 250 grain bullet, and my Rossi Coach Gun. All the other guys were shooting super duper, wowie zowie rifles, handguns and shotguns. I didn't win nothing, but almost everyone there came over to look at my stuff and ask "What the heck are you shooting?" I had a ball. Eric

This was my best event of the day for some reason. You can hear the plates being hit and I hit the required three for record but knocked down the 4th since I
hated to stop. I was in a zone sort of. It might be a club record and the time for the three plates was something like 6.4 seconds.
It was just dumb luck.

Very impressive! That forth shot wasn't a 'show off' shot was it? Years ago (when semi-autos were legal in this country) we had a match stage that involved 5 plates @ 200 yards, but we used to do most of our shooting prone with a bipod, and start from a standing position with the rifle loaded, safety on and un-shouldered. I knocked the five plates down in seven seconds and that was the club record (note included having to 'fall' into the prone position). Four plates off-hand in 6.4 seconds? I don't think we ever would have dreamed of getting anywhere close to that though. We also did a 'man vs man' match were two competitors would shoot at the same time and have to knock down 2 plates at 200 yards (ie 2 plates each)
and the first one to do it was the winner. This was repeated until everyone had a go - the winner from one set 'played' against the winner of another -
bit like tennis really. That really got the adrenalin going when you were against a good shot.

Nice shooting Bill. Maybe you could improve your time with a selector switch on your BAR..... just kidding.

And you still had four rounds left.
