Let's see your paper targets

Just came back from one of my best ever range sessions. I brought my SIG's P220 (.45) and P239 (.40) and my tricked out Springfield Mil-Spec. 1911 (.45). I only shot at 7 yards today and usually put one in the pipe before I insert a full mag. I probably shot up 20 paper plates today and they all looked about like this. My SIG P239 is inching its way to the top of my list. 1911 shoots a little high and right, but I always compensate for it after I see where the first one lands.

Today my fiance had her wisdom teeth out. While she was having that done, I didn't have enough to go back home before she was done, so I went to a local gun store to get my mind off of her pain. I asked about their IDPA stuff. I think I'll do one in early August. First one I did was a real eye opener. A rep. from Sigarms came and brought their latest full auto 553 or something, which I got to try out. $20 well spent.

Well, I might miss center mass then, but you'll just bleed to death a lot more slowly.

Can't remember the model # for sure. It has to be military or LEO only, as it was full auto and AFAIK, we can't buy class III stuff made after 1986.

I assume you are shooting these 'off hand'?

If those targets are from 7 yards from a bag/rest, you best send all three to me for some 'tuning'!

Are you kidding? Of course, they're off hand. And I was probably standing a few feet behind the firing line. I only use bag rests for rifle bore sighting.

C'mon, someone else post some targets.

Not shooting BR so much anymore, but here are a couple of "zeros" shot in registered competion with moving backers. In BR you shoot for group size, not score. There are 5 shots in each group, shot at 100 yds. The rifle is a custom 6PPC single shot. First group measures .068" the second group measured .080".

I don't have a pic of it, but I shot my Steyr M40 at 50 yards off hand. The target was a rifle sight in target and about the size of a sheet of note book paper. I put seven out of ten on the paper.

The kicker was totally by luck. One was absolutely dead center. I saved it so maybe I will snap a pic.

EDIT: A Steyr M40 is a semi-auto .40 cal handgun.

That auto Sig does not look as cool as I was imagining an auto Sig would look.

Then again I like the P99
