Print out this target in the link below. Set it at 25 yards from your firing point. Shoot ten rounds.  Suggest only two shots per target so you can count individual hits.  Remember, if the bullet hole touches a score ring, you score that as a hit within that ring. 

This target simulates what we shoot in CMP service rifle matches at 600 yards in prone slow fire.  I think I’ve only shot a clean score (all ten shots in the 10 ring) once with my DCRA No. 4 7.62 and I think a 98 with my Fulton .303.  Not tried this yet with my No. 7 at 25 yds, but will put that on my to do list. 

Good luck!

Ill give this a try and have some fun soon as I print some targets.

How are we shooting, prone, bench, standing etc?

 If you can shoot all ten shots into the 10 ring at 25 yards in the standing position, you are a one in a million shooter.  Maybe one in 10 million! 

I understood 25 yds not inches.

And I am in the US, just not Arizona.

Right.

 I just missed the instructions trying to get the link to work.

Ill post a target soon as I can get this done to have some fun.

No one seems to have submitted to this, I will.

I have a bunch of Army 20 yrd targets,(I`ll shot at 25yrds) 2 shots/target and one sighter target, will that do? As I don`t currently have a working printer. 

Plus to be fair to you know who, I`ll shoot this seated unsupported with my eyes closed.

These are 20yrd indoor Armory range targets, and will be a bit smaller looking at 25yrds

OK just back from the range, cold and windy. -9c when I arrived with a stiff wind left to right.

First pic is trying to zero the sight to 25yds

Second is my first attempt seated unsupported, overall low

Third pic after tweaking the a bit up and adjusting my point of aim. Fingers are about numb by now

Fourth just before exiting stage left.

I think this rifle in the right hands would be wonderfully accurate.

I think I still have some of those targets laying around.  We used them when I was in the Cadets in the early/mid 1970's with the No. 7 on an indoor range in the basement of the armory. 

Thanx, it was a lot of fun. This rifle shoots and functions wonderfully, well worth the expenditure.

Can you imagine where I got the stack I have. I was a supply tech

Back from a pleasant day at the range.

I’ve been working on the 1914 BSA ShtLE with the .22 Morris tube & BSA No9W folding dioptric sight. I think I’ve got it figured.

Barrel tension was a critical factor & I’ve been making tiny adjustments to try “tuning” it. The No9W sight is very accurate but my eyes can’t do the peep aperture any more without a little help. Enter the Gehmann dioptric sight with aperture & eyesight adjustment.

It was the missing piece of the puzzle.

This is my target from today, shot at 25 yds, not 50, off a bench using just a sling.

2 sighting 10 “for score”

I scored it

#0: doesn’t count. 2 sighters. Then "round the houses" twice, one round on each numbered target, then repeat. Slow fire.

#2: 9, 10(x)

#3: 2X9

#4: 9, 10(x)

#5: 10(x), 10(x)

I score that as a 91 (4x)

Not bad for a 111 year old rifle with a 105 year old iron sight, with 75year old un-calibrated Mk1 eyeballs. Oh & Remington Thunderbolt "rubbish" ammo!

 

I also discovered 2 other things.

I'm now left eye dominant due to deteriorating vision in my right eye.

My scope WILL work with the 45° eyepiece canted at 45° to the right, so I can shoot right eyed, using the corrections of the sights, & then just lean left & use the scope with the left eye!
