THAT is what it is all about, even if using a centerfire. I did handicap myself using a 50 yard target at 75 yards, and the margin of error size of a .17 vs. .22 means it is easier for a .17 HMR to miss.... If my math is right a 22lr has 60 percent more surface area than a .17 HMR That is a huge handicap for such a demanding target. @Trollslayer PS - did you post up any of your targets and pic of the set up...rules..... I believe I posted my last target in the larger thread. I may even have it somewhere. It wasn't very good. My scope won't focus at less than 50 yards, so that is minimum distance. I tried it at 100 yards, too. The wind at my range is a killer, even at 100 yards! I was toying with the idea of setting up the targets as an event and inviting people to try their hand at it. Maybe use a white board to tally the scores. |

What is your set up? Originally Posted By Trollslayer: Isn't this what lead to the demise of the rimfire benchrest competitions? IIRC, there was a consensus the ammo was the limiting factor and people got fed up investing so much time and energy only to be let down by the ammo. Even the best, most expensive was found lacking (centerfire ammo was their benchmark for comparison). Ammunition quality and characteristics are also why 17HMR and other non-22LR cartridges are specifically excluded from or categorized separately for events like these. Their ammo is so much better and their ballistics are so much better, 22LR is just not competitive with them. Note - the game's name is "22LR Tack Driving Range Game". I was curious to see how it would do and this thread has not been all that active anyway. I have enjoyed shooting these targets and I believe it has improved my rimfire shooting. I would encourage everyone to give a try and post up some targets. |

I gave it a try yesterday with my new .22 can in the woods behind my house.
It’s a lot more difficult than I thought it would be so I bought 500 more subsonic rounds today. |

For those running cans on your .22s... do you see any benefit to precision?
I only ask because my Mk12 tends to shoot better with the can on. Just curious of others’ experience with rimfires. |

Man, don't have the "eyes" for iron sights anymore. I haven't shot that old Win. M52B in a long time. Used to be fun. Used to shoot the thumb tacks out of my buddy's targets at 25 yds. Just the top two, so the target would flop down forward and he would have to wait for an all clear to go put more thumb tacks in it. Killed a fly or two at 25 yds. Just leaves a bloody spot, or maybe a piece of leg or wing stuck to the edge of the hole. When my father-in-law would say, "Hey, let's shoot the .22's a bit." I'd walk out the door with that 52B and he'd tell me to put it back and get one of his rifles because it wasn't any fun when I had "that rifle."
I know, people tell "used to" stories all the time, but I was there so it's not a story to me. I did it. And it was fun. |

My first attempt at the 25 YD Tack Driving target.
20/25 tacks driven 
I had a bad flyer for my first tack, but rather than wait for another Range Cold, I shot the full target. I think I need a scope with higher mag and a finer reticle. My scope max is 8X and the hunting reticle is good for squirrel but completely covers a 25 yd tack  Attached File |

I have tried the 100 yard target a few times and with the ammo I have used so far it is pretty much wasting time.

I do have friends that purchase less expensive optics expecting good results but it falls far short of those expectations. Buy once, cry once. Good glass for a .22lr? To shoot this challenge accurately? Anything with a fine reticle & at least for my poor eyes, something in the x14 power range. My son shot 14/25 with a Centerpoint 4x16 that I bought for him at wally world. It cost $70.00. The glass in that optic is not as good as 1k optic of any other manufacturer.

I use a towel wrapped around the stock for a better cheek weld. One thing I do when shooting the 25yd challenge, depending on which ammo I use, it can be difficult to adjust the optic, at this distance, POA=POI, If you look at my target, on one of the sight in targets I drew cross hairs on the circle. If I can get the horizontal & vertical cross hairs on the edge of each circle, top & side, It gives me a better POA, It has helped me at least. Most everything I've learned has been trial & error, I've never had any formal training. I've wasted more money than I care to admit  but shooting stuff is fun as O_P says.

So up at 5am & put a brisket on the smoker. Cut the grass in the pasture & had a chance to shoot this again. Nice & calm out this morning.
The rifle set up. 
The target. 
The results. 
I noted my POA for this set. Being able to put the reticle on a known edge gives me a bit more confidence that my POA is the same every time, opposed to circling around trying to hold center on a circle. This ammo I got at SGAmmo for .04 a round. I bought that high dollar RWS R 50 in the gold box. I shot the 19/25 with it but conditions were not as nice as this morning. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By badredfish: @Plank_Spanker What is good glass for a 22lr? Red One thing that I think is important with rimfire scopes in general and especially for this tack driving game is to have one that has parallax adjustment and will adjust down to less than 25 yards. The Bushnell Engage that I have has parallax adjustment down to 10 yards. They are not terribly expensive compared to top tier scopes but it has good clear glass and a decent reticle. I was just looking and while they tend to be close to $250 I saw one place that has them on sale for $185. I bought mine used in very good condition off the EE here. |

Honestly I think the ammo was a bigger part of it. 50% was my setup. A lot of those shots dint feel right when I let them go, that leads me to compensate for something that might not be there. I should have gone back to my routine. Then you had the shot that felt solid on the break and I’m like WTF.

4th set.
Aguila .22 Pistol Match This ammo is more accurate than this target would have you believe. Eyes were tired as I’m feeling drained too. Been a long weekend. Rifle was sliding in the rest because I failed to setup properly but still hit 14/25.

I’m still st the range, just finished shooting two targets. Wanted to shoot another but my rifle was pretty dirty from my last range session and it started getting sluggish so I’m quitting for the day. Very light and variable winds but prett hot and humid. Damn biting flies are irritating as shit. Did pretty good though. Here are my two targets. First  Attached FileSecond  Attached File |

Wanted to shoot another but my rifle was pretty dirty from my last range session and it started getting sluggish so I’m quitting for the day. Very light and variable winds but prett hot and humid. Damn biting flies are irritating as shit. Did pretty good though. Here are my two targets. First https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/35314/0CC03AD4-1732-4707-B29D-98A647B4C5D5_jpeg-959864.JPG Second https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/35314/0F09E778-5B5D-4D31-92CA-479EA958EA28_jpeg-959865.JPG I'm certain I could not shoot as well with a bi-pod & squeeze bag. |

My effort for today... Target no. 1 was the cci 20 gr 17 HMR - thought it might buck the wind a little better. Target No 2 and three was the 17 GR 17 HMr V-max bullet I think it flys better. The first two target was the 50 yard target set at 75 yards. The last target was the 100 yard target set at 75 yards... I sould see the 100 yard target better and could see white around the crosshairs on that target where the other two was covered over... I have happy with an 80 percent on the 100 yard target... Red |

Great shooting. Nice rifle too. I'm certain I could not shoot as well with a bi-pod & squeeze bag. The bipod gives a very solid rest and the squeeze bag makes it easier to quickly move to different aiming points. |

I have access to a 50 yard range and a CZ 99 Precision that shoots as well as my CZ 453s and CZ 455. It took two attempts (21/25 the first time) but it did 25/25. It's not quite as it came from the factory as it lives in a Remington Model 5 laminated stock
Remington imported the CZ 99 Precision with a laminated stock as the Remington Model 5 for a few years and that's a bit ironic given the very close similarity between the CZ 99 Precision and the Winchester Model 43.

That is good shooting, I'll have a go at 50 yards again soon.
I didn't have time to shoot the AR at 100 yards. That could get expensive.

If that is a legitimate 25/25, you should post it in the 1 MOA All Day Long Thread. They will add you to the short list of people who have done it.
I may have forgotten some other, but that might be the first 25/25 I've seen on this board. |

This post is exceedingly embarrassing, and will be replaced with a correct target/range at my earliest opportunity.

Very nice rife, and good shooting.
I hate to be the one to point it out but those are the 50 yard targets. Don't feel too bad, you are not the first to get them mixed up. Please try it again with the 25 yard targets, it is a very fun and challenging game.
@RV8guy any chance the target files could be edited to have the yardage listed on the top of the target? |

@RV8guy any chance the target files could be edited to have the yardage listed on the top of the target? My son did that to us the other day. I still couldn't shoot a perfect score. You could just overlay a 25 yd target on the 50 yd & re-score it. |

I bought a pretty good quantity of the CCI Standard Velocity and neither of my rifles likes it very much. Haven't tried it in my SBR or Ruger Mark II. |
