ARFCOM 25 MOA ALL DAY Handgun Challenge 2019

This is the official "how good are you" handgun shooting thread for 2019.

What is it? It’s a challenge to all to prove how good you really are with a handgun! Not sometimes but consistently. Note that it is a challenge of accuracy, not time.

Keep it simple 15 shots at 25 yards. Shoot all 15 shots on 3 targets, 5 shots each.

25 MOA at 25 yards = ~6.545"

RULES

1. MUST USE OFFICIAL TARGETS

Available here: https://1drv.ms/f/s!ArtmSnd1K8KxakyUx0hK119160c

There are 2 versions, a 25 moa circle and a plain grid to make your own (e.g. stickers, drawings, etc)

You must print the pdf "actual size" to ensure the picture prints the proper size.

Please ensure that all shots prior to each string are taped and that there is plenty of target backer to show your ability. If I cannot determine that all five shots are on the paper, I may not count your entry.

2. Shoot 5 shots on each target. Make sure to label the targets with the proper information for each string. Please complete all three strings in a reasonable amount of time (e.g. no bathroom breaks... ). You must shoot the 15 shots consecutively.

3. All shots must be made at 25 yards. This must be verified via measuring tape, rangefinder, etc.

4. Each group is measured outside grease ring to outside grease ring with calipers or measuring tape in inches. I will do the MOA calculation when I input the data into excel.

5.The ONLY shooting positions accepted will be standing unsupported, either one hand or two. Make sure to mention how many hands you use. Do not lean on anything, rest your arms on anything, and no stiff shooting jackets.

6. Posting your entry requires 8 pictures.

First: picture of your target setup at the range you are shooting. The picture must be taken at 25 yards.

Second: Picture of target 1 with 5 shots and information filled in.

Third: Picture of target 2 with 5 shots and information filled in.

Fourth: Picture of target 3 with 5 shots and information filled in.

Fifth: Picture of target 1 with 5 shots and information filled in and measuring device showing group size.

Sixth: Picture of target 2 with 5 shots and information filled in and measuring device showing group size.

Seventh: Picture of target 3 with 5 shots and information filled in and measuring device showing group size.

Eighth: Picture of handgun.

7. Provide a brief explanation of the gun and ammo you used, shooting method, gun modifications, etc.

8. Include your final results in this format:

Division - UserName - Handgun make/model - caliber - onehand/two hand - group 1 (in) - group 2 (in) - group 3 (in)

9. In each division you can only have your name up once per gun. Your best performance per gun will be shown.

10. Your score will be the average MOA from the three groups rounded to 2 decimal places.

11. I reserve the right to change anything regarding this challenge.

12. Prizes! If we reach at least 20 verified participants, prizes will be by random draw, excluding myself. Only 1 entry per person in the prize drawing no matter how many entries into the challenge.

----------

If it has nothing to do with this thread/challenge then please don't muck it up. And DON'T POST old targets, only post your results for this challenge for this year.

This is for those that want to put up an honest effort and show what they can do!

If you post a placeholder for a future attempt, be sure and notify me if you are not updated!

If entries start coming in and you post your results back on an earlier page, I might miss it if you don't point it out.

Feel free to link to this challenge in other threads where people post spurious claims of their tier 1 operator status with a handgun.

Finally, please be honest!

Overall Scores

Division Scores

Open. The reason is there aren't enough participants to have a limited division, so it's just stock and open.

That's ok, you can even measure in centimeters and I will convert to MOA for you.

'Murica

You can shoot it but can't use any support including your shoulder, cheek, or sling.

I'll do this

@LuckyDucky just so you know, there's a limit of mentions so not many of the big list above will get the mention.  I didn't.

What's the limit?

I don't know... I just know there is one.

12/31/2019. Prize drawing will be 1/1/2020.

If you only hang the 8.5x11 paper and I can only see 4 holes, I will not count it. If you put a large target backer with no holes, I may count it. It is ok if a hole goes on the target backer, you just need to make sure you get your pictures of the group and measurement before taking it down
