NCAA Shooting...
 

Hey guys and gals...glad to see this forum on here...I shot at Xavier my freshman and sophomore years...here's some pics!

The first is me shooting in the Bluegrass Games...that's what I do now...the second is at the 2003 NCAA Championship at West Point...the third includes my targets from 2003 NCAA Qualifier at Ohio State...a 397/400!

Does anyone have any experience with the target rifles? I have a couple of Anschutzs that I use...

Very cool!!!!

Very impressive groups on the targets. Better than I could even think of doing with a rifle. I shoot with the Navy Markmanship Team. High power rifle and outdoor pistol. Our west coast matches begin the end of this month. Trying to earn my last 8 rifle points to become double distinguished.

wow......not only do we have good looking women with cummins but they have guns too.........and there damn good.......hell alot better than me.... :tt: :D

show off

Showing off my guns maybe...a lot of people have never seen that type...or aren't familiar with what we shoot at...and for those who are...I wanna see pics!



Don't worry dear, I'll get you learned well enough to drop fleas at 30 yards...but I'll still be a better shot...:c:

thanks for sharing your pics.....you look like a million dollars......
also your pics presented a pleasant surpise, i thought you were a gay male trekkie...
LOL

LMAO!!! lol lol

"oh stop it..." *wrist flops

Nah...I just think that pic of Capt. Kirk is kickass...and I'm not even really a trekkie.

Thanks tho...

That's some pretty fancy shooting there little lady!!! Very nice thanks for sharing.

When I started reading I thought you were confessing to shooting at people and buildings. LOL

No...I just shoot at inanimate objects...and possums

aw come-on,
wouldn't you like to shoot the hands or feet off of some iraqi suicide bombers......., from like a mile-a-way......that would be so cool they would never even hear the muzzle blast......

I have a question on you stance. Isd that how they teach you how to shoot?
it just seems you would be off balance and that it wouldnt feel to good on your back. And where you're holding the front of the gun, is that how your taught as well?
Just wondering because Ihave never seen anyone hold a gun like that. but I havent really watched any of this type of shooting.

all I can say is that you would be pushed back on you butt if that gun had any kick aswell as the possibility of cracking your eye with the scope.

but I realize this is a target stance, I was just wondering if there was a theory behind standing like that.

Possum...u cant be pissin her off... u cant run fast enough...even in the truck LOL great groupings...and this is the infamous possums girl....gotta watch wats said now....keep givin him the laptop so we can make fun of him more

The stance is a typical target stance-- each shooter has their own variation-- and you would be amazed at how steady it is.

You want your feet only shoulder width apart, and the ideal with the stance is that you want as much bone on bone supporting the gun. Theoretically there should be a straight line from the wrist supporting the 'front' of the rifle so that the weight is transferred down the forearm, which is positioned on the hip bone, and travels down the leg.

A match can last up to 5 hours, so more bone on bone = less muscle support = less tiring = less shaking/swaying.

The arch of my back is from centering the weight of the rifle to my core for balance and also to jut my hip out to prop my elbow on. Men have difficulty doing this because their hips are not built the same way-- therefore, many rely on a similar stance-- supporting the front of the rifle the same way but allowed to hang above the hip. It's difficult to describe...

I use a similar stance when shooting other guns, including target pistol. We don't have scopes, and with limited recoil, the further up on the comb we can scoot to look through the sights, the more accurate.

Also (sorry this is longwinded), the rifle is very customizable, so there are carefully positioned weights-- including my bloop tube aka barrell extender/weight on the end-- which eliminates any sort of issue with balancing and positioning one's self with the rifle.

I love this sport...

I couldnt tell. LOL

I figured that was what it was, just figured I would get the info from the pro.

fill her head even more fellas.

hey she shoots targets 30ft standing still, i plan to be zigging and zagging.

Hahaha...


In three years he has apparently never seen me shoot skeet or trap.


And the distances are 33 ft, 50 ft, 50 yds and 100 yards open sites, bucko-- get it right...:ph: :sen:

You see how the last time I 'hadn't shot in years went'...

" i shoot guns" clears throat in deepest bad ass voice

LOL "give:

Here's to possum :c:

Are you calling me out? Date and time please, sir.

please, id shoot at you not next to you

Sweet pictures!!!!!

The oldest daughter likes shooting & is rather disappointed that the JROTC summer camp she is going to "only" shoots pellet rifles & not the real deal. She's got a Henry .22 rifle and wanted to take it to camp & shoot a real rifle instead of a pellet rifle :D :D

I understand completely. I resisted the air rifle too...but in collegiate NCAA shooting, the course of fire is 3 x 20 .22, and 40 standing air rifle, so in order to compete in NRA, USA Shooting and college-sanctioned events, I had to get another target rifle for air...but it's all good once you start kicking the competition's tail!
