Thought I’d take a few minutes and go through one of the competition matches I shoot through on a regular basis. The targets are of animals, and have point rings like 10, 9, 8, 5 & 3. The basics are:
Disciplines:
Rifle: 100 meter (150 Points Max)
-- Buck, 5 shots standing supported (50 pts max)
-- Boar, 5 shots freehand (50 pts max)
-- Fox, 5 shots prone unsupported (50 pts max)
50 meter (50 Points Max)
-- Running Boar, 5 shots (50 pts max)
Shotgun: Low gun, pivot point hip (150 Points Max)
-- 15 birds Trap and 15 birds Skeet (Each Clay broken equals 5 Points)

Freehand, 100 meters, on the Boar. If you really want to know how well (or how bad) you shoot, this is your moment in the lime light:

Then on to shotgun, 15 birds Trap. This stand had 3 machines on each shooting position:

At this shoot I scored 329 points – worst target I shot was on the 100 meter Boar, scoring a 40. Scored a 50 on the fox, 47 on the Buck, and 47 on the Running Boar, which gave me top rifle score in my class. I missed one Trap and ran Skeet, and took top shotgun score.
At the end of the shoot is the winners’ ceremony:

We get a few guys together and have a good time; one of my friend’s pictures says it all:

Great clubhouse with food & drink, and of course story time. We have about a zillion excuses why our scores could have been better!! Waidmannsheil, Dom.
After the day headed for home.
