I have entered this for 5 years now. Rules are simple - take one 2" diameter ornament, hang at 25 yards, try to hit it with 5 rounds, open sights only. If you win, you get to draw a prize envelope at random and see what you've won. So far, I've won discounts, a Ruger LCR in 38 Special, and range time (which as a member is not really that useful), but the fun is in hitting the damned thing.
This year's target, shot #2, pretty much straight through the axis (although I SHOULD have hit it on the moulding flash)
The $5 price on the ornament is to enter the competition, not an indication of vastly inflated pricing on the 25-cent plastic balls...

3It is always fun, and the grand prize is always something nice. A custom Ruger 1911 this year. I didn't get it.....

4Cool! With what gun were you shooting?
One wonders if Ruger has an influence in the selection of the prizes. Seems like a theme there.

5That's a great contest, and some *really* nice shooting.
Re: My LGS's 2018 Christmas Tree Ornament Shoot
64" bull-barrel 22/45, with a Volquartsen frame in the "standard" angle to match my other Ruger. It doesn't hurt that the trigger pull is 2.5 lbs, either.Buck13 wrote: Sun Dec 16, 2018 11:58 pm Cool! With what gun were you shooting?

No idea where the other 4 shots went.......
