Using a USGI web sling. Cotton, not the nylon.  The cotton gets a little grip to it. Cheap. Even the worn ones work well.

Looks like alot of fun! Are there any of these vintage rifle matches held in Texas?

[Blackfork6]

TSRA usually shoots a big vintage match in October at the Temple Gun Club, Temple, Tx. Lots of fun. I've got a couple of videos from it on here.

By the way....I'm sorry to keep bugging you...What size are those targets at 200 yards? What can of grouping are you getting at that distance? I know he keeps saying "10 ring" and "9 ring" but how big are those rings?

[Blackfork6]

Standard 200 yard bullseye target center on a 6X6 backing. The X ring is 3 inches. The 10 ring is 7 inches and the 9 ring is 13 inches. The 9, 10 and X ring are in black. Outside the aiming black are the 8,7,6,5 rings.

That impressive accuracy for iron sights...Especially for a mil-surp. You I even hate to call the K31 a surplus gun because they are just such high quality.

Is the x ring worth any extra points above the 10 possible?

Can you print out these targets somewhere or do you have to purchase them?

Sorry for the dumb questions I just want to start practising!

[Blackfork6]

Champions Choice and Champions Shooters Supply both stock the targets, even the 100 yard reduced versions. The X ring is worth 10 points, but is the tie breaker.  An X beats a 10. The Vintage match we were shooting was a 30 shot match with five sighting shots. 300 points perfect score.

Just wondering if that was Vickie Gaddie spotting next to you. NRA did a profile on her and her sister for the NRA blog. Good video congrats on the medal.

VERY impressive, i love my K31! the only thing that lets its accuracy down is me! Its a shame that the gp11 cases are boxer primed, because they are wonderful.

[spacemanspiff2012]

That is some fine shootin', fer sure!

I will have to check out the TSRA shooting matches one of these days.
