Title: CZ CGW 97B"E", finally, an excellent 50 yard slow fire target!!
Post by: Joe L on March 22, 2018, 09:21:44 PM
This is a fluke, I know, but it shows what is possible at least once in a bullseye shooter's lifetime.  This is as good to me as the 100-10x timed fire target with the Kadet from a few years ago.  I haven't gotten close to that since.  Several 100's, but not as many x's. 

There was a 10-15 mph wind from the right, so I held high right, and it worked.  But, more importantly, I didn't jerk any shots.  10 good trigger pulls in a row.  I am getting very comfortable with the 97B"E" again.  That is two practice sessions this week, so maybe I can shoot the match on Saturday a little better than last month.  I'm whipped, however.

(50 yards, standing, single hand, 10 shots in 10 minutes, but I did them all in less than 2 minutes.) 

When we have some wind, I relax.  It helps.  For that reason, I like windy practice days and windy match days.  Gun is phenomenal.  Shooter needs more practice and fewer work hours.

Wow, Joe. Whipped or not, I bet you did cartwheels all the way home.  ;D

Thanks, gentlemen.  I only shot one more slow fire target on Thursday, and it was an 85.  Best previous slow fire centerfire target was a 95, and that was nearly 2 years ago.  Like I said, a fluke.  But I'll take it.

Great shooting!  Wouldn't that target be a 3x though?  Looks like you scored it 98-5X

It's an x if you look at it at the .45 bullet diameter and not just the much smaller JHP hole cut in the target.  If I had shot semi-wad-cutter bullets, the hole diameter would match the bullet diameter.

Ahhh -- those little rays emanating from the holes!  Dang, that is small target out there at 50 yards!

I was actually wondering the same. I just started keeping score after watching your videos Joe! Thanks for posting them. I suspect if I were to look over some of my past targets, I did a little better than I scored myself ;)

Here is the hole template over the hole.  It is barely an x, but it is an x.  I was thinking I guessed wrong at the range, but it looks like I was OK.

Fantastic.
  Use a USPSA bullet gage.  Plastic card with certified 9mm, 40 and 45 hole diameters to center over the hits and shows the inside cut. Mine were $2 for two?

Woohoo!

CZ97; stellar choice.

Singlehandedly; I 'spect you've been practicing...

Frame that sucker and hang it on the wall (and be thankful)!

Thanks, gentlemen.  The 97B"E" is a great pistol, especially for those of us who have large hands and long fingers and love the weight and feel of an all steel super accurate pistol. 

I just wish I could shoot it more often.  I may have to retire to do that.   :) :)
