Here is your chance to earn the honorary title of (Jackalope Sniper)
You are about to embark upon a great crusade, where jackalopes run rampant devouring everything in their path and YOU must take them out. What better way to test your marksmanship skills than to shoot for small groups at 100 yards with a 22LR !
Test your skills, test your rifle, test your ammunition and perhaps you could work your way up the (Jackalope Sniper) ladder.
To advance the rules are simple.
1: Must be 22LR
2: Must be 100 yards
3: Must have atleast 8 outta 10 in Class 1
4: Must have atleast 6 outta 10 in Class 2
5: Must have atleast 4 outta 10 in Class 3
6: Must provide picture of rifle & target
7: Must post info about your weapon.. ammo, scope, mods etc
8: Breaking the line is "in".
11 shots total...... 10 at the main target, and 1 at the head-shot
(Class 1) Atleast 8 outta 10
Master Gunnery Sgt. = qualify X3
First Sergeant. = qualify X2
Master Sergeant. = qualify X1
(Class 2) Atleast 6 outta 10
Gunnery Sgt. = qualify X3
Staff Sgt. = qualify X2
Sargent. = qualify X1
_
(Class 3) Atleast 4 outta 10
Corporal. = qualify X3
Lance Cpl. = qualify X2
Private. = qualify X1
Shooters that nail the head-shot with a qualifying target will automatically advance to the top of their class. Once you make Corporal or Gunnery Sgt. you have to start shooting in the next class to advance. You can start in class 1, 2, or 3 ..... the choice is yours.
Every shooter that posts a qualifying target is a Jackalope Sniper!
Helpful knowledge:
22lr bullet drop from a 50y zero: 1200 fps = -5.8" , 1100 fps = -6.8" , 1000 fps = -8.3"
100 yard 22lr average windage push: 2" at 5mph , 4" at 10mph etc
Sound barrier varies but usually stays around 1,100 FPS at sea level.
Download the PDF target by clicking on it below... If you have what it takes! Center circle should be 1.5" across, and you may have to select (fit to printable area) in your printing options.

A special thanks to my good friend Glen for drawing us such a fine jackalope worth shooting at.
22LR 100 Yard Challenge
Re: 22LR 100 Yard Challenge
Any interest in this? Should I make it a 50y challenge? 
Re: 22LR 100 Yard Challenge
I have an interest, but finding time to actually get out and do it is sometimes a problem.
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C. S. Lewis

Re: 22LR 100 Yard Challenge
I would also love to try but also have time constraints keeping me from the range. And I don't know if I have a .22 accurate enough for 100yrds. Never have shot them that far.
Let me make a short, open, blanket comment. There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a descent person is no threat to anyone--- except bad people. -- Charleton Heston
Guns are not good, they are not evil. Save those descriptions for the people holding the firearm. -- Unknown

1937 Izhevsk
1935/48/50 Tula (hex)
1939 Tula (laminate stock)
And many other firearms

Re: 22LR 100 Yard Challenge
Low powered scope or using Iron sights? This is one method to help you get on target.
First: Get a lid off of an old can of cashews or similar with a diameter around 5".
Second: Paint the lid black on the inside so the lip will be facing outward.
Third: Place your Jack target on the backboard with an additional blank sheet ot white paper directly above it for contrast.
Fourth: Place your 5" black "alternate aiming point" about 7' to 8" (depending on ammo speed) above the Jack target center to center.
Fifth: Zero your rifle at 50 yards and then aim at the alternate aiming point at the 100.
Sixth: Make your minor windage/elevation adjustments to get on target.
Seventh: When posting a new target its imperative that you take the top two corners down first and align the new target in the exact same place, then do the bottom.... it helps to leave your first (sighter) target up for the following alignments.
My range just for kicks.... the closer backboard on the left is my 50y. the 100 is waaaay down thar.
I actually did the entire challenge using iron sights...... did this target with the BSA 12/15

Re: 22LR 100 Yard Challenge
I'd try, but only after I get the Mueller 8x32x44 mounted on the CZ 455 FS 22 LR early next week and zeroing it in that weekend.
Old eyes are not the greatest for iron sights even if I attempted w/ the Government Kimber 82 Olympic sights.
To Hell w/ the Core, eat the apple instead..
