How long have you shot bullseye, time to get to each classification.
First topic message reminder :
I'm curious what everyone's "story" is. How long have you shot bullseye. About how many matches have you shot. How long did it take you to achiece each classification.
I'll start. I began slowly in 2015 and 2016, in 2017 I caught the "bug" and have been going to a lot of matches. I love sleeping in on weekends but regularly leave the house at 6ish on lots of Sundays.
2015: Shot 4 matches, all with irons, attained MK
2016: Shot 6 matches, got into red dots
2017: Shot 14 matches, got SS and EX
2018: Shot 10 matches so far, trying hard for master but have plateaued a bit.

2017: Shot my first match in the Fall. Made MK in two matches.
2018: Still a MK, but likely SS by the end of year (crossing fingers).
I had a long lead time acquiring guns, scoping them, joining a proper BE range (long wait list), etc.

Re: How long have you shot bullseye, time to get to each classification.
I would be curious how many rounds people fired not just the amount of time they spent.
2013 - started 22 league (not NRA officially but 1 handed bullseye style)
2017 - Shot 2 matches to get Marksmen, first had irons on my 1911, second had the ultradot. Use a Ruger MK III 22/45
2018 - Shot 2 matches so far. Still Marksmen. My 45 score for the second match was 728, which is 80.8%
I have fired about 2,500 reloaded rounds through my gun. Before that I fired 200 factory loads. It would probably be cheaper to dry fire in my free time. I would rather reload the bullets though. My problem is I don't have enough time to shoot them. When I tell my non-shooting friends that I'm an NRA rated Marksmen, I make it a point to tell them they you only have to pull the trigger, not hit the target, to be a Marksmen. That sums up my first match.
