Clean a Target... Show us!

First topic message reminder :

Just thought we could all use some Positive Reinforcement so I made this a "sticky" which means its always at the top in this topic. So when you shoot a clean target and want to hoot a little post it here for all to see! 


Here is what I did last night at our weekly indoor league, 50 ft on the NRA reduced target, shot Timed fire style in four strings of 5 shots, we hang two targets at a time. 100 6x and a 100 7x this was a first for me to clean two in the same set of targets. Ended with a 493 26x out of possible 500.

btw, nice target. May you shoot many more.

Do you call your shots? If you call your shots honestly and accurately, you should know your score before you go down range.

I usually call my shots. That shot at 12 o’clock in the ten away from the group felt like a flier.

Very Nice!  Thanks for posting it.

I might go mad trying to post more pics. In my most recent effort, I was able to post a link to Flickr, but it's three lines without a thumbnail, which is probably what you saw last week before I deleted it. The real mysterious element is that, when I edit my post, the photo appears in the text box without the link. When I "Send" it, the photo disappears and three lines of code return.

When I select the "Host an image" icon, it leads me to a Servimg link, but I cannot find a way to login to Servimg.
In my quest for a reliable method to post a photo, I have reviewed at least three different techniques which do not work.



My latest effort is here:  https://www.bullseyeforum.net/t20p375-show-me-your-bullseye-pistols#179706

Finally got my first last weekend!

Last two targets of the day

Outstanding

Monday night Bullseye league outside.

Excellent finish!

I found these in my phone from a while back. The 5x is timed fire, the 7x is rapid, both 25 yards in my outdoor bullseye match outside. 50 yard slow fire was 91-2x, so 291-14x.

One night way back on the indoor line , I managed to clean a timed fire target with each gun. That is a Python 38 Target.

Nice targets!  Thanks for sharing.

I’ve cleaned a few in practice, but this was the first at a match. 25-yard indoor league Timed Fire.

The high point of my 2023 Camp Perry and the best 45 target I've shot in a long time.

So close...  Timed fire target shot at a match in Great Falls.

That's a great target.  I shot 7x last week on timed fire, but my outliers were an 8 and two 9's.  

This post will seem to be treading on toes, but it is not meant to.  Its intention is to bring to light one of the reasons we aren't shooting better.

This thread should highlight achievements, specifically "Clean Targets."  By posting anything else, those posters are highlighting to themselves and more unfortunately to others, lesser achievements.  It is common for us to want to be the center of attention and this a way to bring the focus from the achievements of others to ourselves.  But, more detrimental is the addition of moving the focus of the achievement to a lesser level as the "last thing everyone sees," whether it's images or text.

If you want to shoot less than 10s, think about those rings outside the ten and write down about those shots to help enforce your focus, but this should be done personally, not openly.  Openly we should try to promote perfection.  This thread should be about reinforcing tens, not something else.

Let's revel in the achievements of others without diminishing their moments with our "not quites."  If you would like to contribute to this thread, try adding praise or some "Clean Targets" of your own.  You'd be surprised how much better you can shoot by focusing more on better results, even those of others.

A last thought:  In your visualization always "see" perfection.  If you place less than that in your subconscious, guess what it gives you.

First cleaned target after 16 months of shooting .22 Bullseye

Excellent!  Can I suggest adding a photocopy of it to your gunbox in a conspicuous place?

After shooting a few dozen 99s i finally managed to clean a timed fire target!

I also managed to clean a rapid fire a few weeks later!

Nice X groups!
EDIT TO ADD: If you go up the page to my 5/28/2023 posting with the Python revolver in the shot, you will see that I shot 100 with only 2x.  That is no small feat to dance around the X with those chubby 38 wadcutters and miss it so many times. 

Nice targets!  Thanks for sharing!
