My big scope is mounted on something else, but I know how to change scopes

I guess that I must not have much of a life because the 5 shot challenge is the high point of my year. I would be glad to shoot either 100 yd, 200 yd or both.

I am looking forward to it, but dont like my chances against this group of experienced shooters. I have a question for all of you- what power scope will you use for this contest? Signed, 60 year old aging vision. (4x10)

60, my oldest son is that. Being on the south side of 84, I use my scope set on 10X for most of the paper shooting, I do. Even when out shooting those little varmints, I use mostly around 10 - 12X on my variables.
Works just fine for me anyway, and I do wear glasses, with progressive lens. :D

I will be in. I just had another Vascular surgery, so hope to be in shape soon. 200 yards would be fine for me, but I have not shot my .204 at that distance yet. I like leaving it at the .204. I have many other calibers, but since this is a .204 group, that just makes sense.

I'm definitely in for my sophomore shoot. Whatever works with me. 100, 200 or both if separate I'm in either way. I did like that Skipper allowed for a long shoot and return window. It helps with busy schedules and weather conditions, not being super close to my range it does help.

Acctually I did think of one more thing for this year. Make Bill K shoot Blindfolded! The rest of us are just shooting for first loser otherwise. 🤣

In all seriousness I'm glad you shoot so well Bill it makes a guy want to only do better.

I have an idea that may shake things up this year. A challenge, for sure.

This is going to rely solely on each members word that they participated "according to the rules". That's all for now.

Sounds like fun Skipper. I just spent a day last week at the range doing some shooting with my 204, 270 Win, and 308 Win. Mixed results, but still happy with my 204. Here are some 10 shot strings.
