Just thought I would post some targets from a couple of Smallbore rifle matches I shot at over the last two months.
The match from March was 600 agregate 3 position: Standing, Sitting, Prone. No time limit, @ 50 yards.
Here is the Ruger 10/22 used in March.

sorry to hear that, I just checked and they are up now. I will have to move them to another site though, I just found out that Yahoo will be closing down Geocities for good. I have to get everything off and find another web host.

MUCH better!!! Thanks for sharing!!

Photo bucket

Good shooting dude. Especially the standing. I couldn't come close to holding that steady standing.
I use PhotoBucket for the one-offs and Google's PicasaWeb for albums.

I forgot about Google's Picasa site. I may have to use that, I have it installed but haven't tried it yet.

What kind of stock is that on the 10/22?

It is a Fajen stock. Bought it from MidwayUSA. It is the non-adjustable one, I couldn't see spending another $30 dollars when it fits me ok. I may have to give it a paint job though, the forearm is very smooth, might have to apply some grip tape to it.

This is the adjustable version, I didn't see the non-adjustable one like I have. It was $89.

Out of curiosity. Are people at those matches using the traditional sitting position with elbows on knees or is anyone using the full arm cradle or forearm-on-knee that is used in air rifle field matches?

I saw most of the people at the match I went to using the more traditional sitting/kneeling positions. After seeing those pictures you posted, I may try that and see how it works for me. Thanks for posting that!

The air rifle folks have been using arm-on-knee-cradle for some time. More recently I've seen pictures where they are using a kneepad to rest the rifle directly on the knee. (on the pad on the knee) Some have even built up (down) the forearm of their stock so it rests better on their knee. Here's a better picture of the arm-on-knee position. If the rifle fits and you can get into that position (some of us don't bend well), then I think it's better than the traditional two-handed hold....if legal in your competition.
Here's a better picture of this position.

Hmm, the picture no workey?
-
I see it fine.
-
I am at work, so sometimes I can't see some pics because of the filters they have in place. Oh well, I guess I will check again when I get home. ;D

I guess we need to start taking 'porn' out of the picture names. :'(

What is that, a potato launcher on top of your rifle?
