Thanks so much for the custom targets and explaining how it works. This will be a great training tool! BTW I get so much information from watching your videos. Thanks again.
Thanks! I always try to dial if there is time to do so, but some stages have so much movement that learning to use holdovers is a must if you don't want to time out. Happy practicing!
@@CopperStarPrecision Went to the range today, got all setup to do this, and realized I forgot the details of how it was supposed to be done. Really good practice, but I didn't shoot it exactly right so I'll have to redo it later. I didn't hold quite enough wind, but all my shots were hitting high for some reason.
Hmm... it could be printed at the wrong scale. The document is designed to be printed actual size and the black bars should be exactly 1 inch wide. Otherwise, a strong right to left wind would push your bullet upwards (assuming a right-hand twist barrel).
10 Shots 10 Positions 5 Holds ( Unique each shot) 90 Sec Par time off of a pyramid or ladder going for 80%. Yeah copper star. I'm gonna run. That and post. Should be fun.
It's not hard to measure and figure it out the correct distance, but putting "50 Yards" on the PDF would be an improvement. Cool idea. I'm definitely going to try it!
Short answer, no. Long answer, since all the shots are at 50 yards then no matter what velocity your ammo is at they should all be arriving at the target at around the same time. If you have a good 50 yard zero and decently consistent ammo the target will work as intended. For example, the 0.5 MIL hold, if you dial 0.5 MIL up from your zero and shoot the target, you would expect your impact to be 0.9 inches high from your aim point (50 yards = 1800 inches / 1000 = 1.8 inches x 0.5 MRAD = 0.9 inches). The center of the first (lowest) bullseye is set at 0.9 inches above the aim point. So keeping your 50 yard zero and holding over the 0.5 MIL should have the same effect and your impact should be somewhere in that first bullseye. What different velocity will impact is your ballistic solutions/DOPE for targets at different distances. So for a 100 yard target your hold or dial might be 1.8 MILS where mine might be 1.7 if we are using ammo with different velocities.
Can you beat my score?

Are you in ouray Colorado right now?
Nope
Being new to the game, I'm always looking for better ways to improve. This is freaking awesome exercise. Thanks for putting it out there.
Happy to help!

You're very welcome!
Brilliant idea!
Glad you think so!
I like this idea for practice. Might have to give it a try.
This is brilliant! I really need this as I never trust holding over during a COF, I always dial.

That's a great idea for training or challenges.
Thanks!
This really is brilliant!!
Glad to hear it!
Brilliant idea! I know what I'll be doing at my next trip to the range.
Glad you like it! Don't forget to report back how you do!

@@CopperStarPrecision That's the issue. The black bars printed at 0.90".
@@KoryReeves try printing "actual size" or whatever setting ignores the printer margins.
Nice job
Thanks!
Man that is some Awesome Stuff!!
Thanks! Almost as awesome as your Eley Ultra video hahaha!
Love this idea. Ready for my next practice session.
Thanks! Don't forget to report back how you did!
I see a rematch in the near future 😁. Shots on paper are great training. Thanks Cyrus!
Paper never lies haha
Love it will have to give this a try. Thanks. Very good practice for hold overs
You're welcome!
Looks like its time to sacrifice some match ammo
10 Shots
10 Positions
5 Holds ( Unique each shot)
90 Sec Par time off of a pyramid or ladder going for 80%. Yeah copper star. I'm gonna run. That and post. Should be fun.
That's a tall order, but a great drill to run with this target!

That's a great idea, I'll have to add it in the next version.
Looks like fun, I'll have to try it this weekend... but I'm a MOA guy it just "clicks" for me.
I'll work on putting together a MOA version, but for now you can multiply the holds by 3.43775 to convert MRAD to MOA.
More lines! MOA STAND TOGETHER!! lolz

Good challenge im currently using moa tho until i can get a mill scope
I just uploaded a MOA version on Patreon. Go check it out!
@CopperStarPrecision got it thanks ill have to try this with my new setup 😀
I could not find your website to download the targets. could you please post the link. thanks

Would ammo velocity change holds?
Short answer, no.

Are you in ouray Colorado? Saw your logo on a front license plate
Nope. My logo is the state flag of Arizona so sounds like a fellow statesman is visiting.
Oh I’m an idiot. I was so excited. I was like babe he’s here. He’s from Arizona too 😂
Haha no worries, nice to know I have a fan club!
