2020 Card Splitting Challenge***WIN A PRIZE***

[gregkl]

Nice shooting guys. I didn't do quite as well with my first effort.

First shot came in high, pushing the card aside (or the card was off angle) and finally put a hole dead center of the cut in the cardboard holding the card. Just clipped the corner off.

Finally got the second card on either the 15th, 16th or 17th shot (I quit walking over and checking every shot) and left it connected by a thread.

25' from muzzle to card, one hand standing.



I will try again on another day.

Nice shooting!

And I have noticed it's all wheel guns so far.

I have always liked my 617. It is such a sweet little .22.

 

[Maverick30]

What??? No 45 ACP allowed?

I prefer .50BMG, all you gotta do is stand 7yds away, touch the end of the barrel to the card and pull the trigger. Eazy peezy!















For those that are not keen on picking up obvious exaggeration, I know any .50BMG rifle is not 7yds long...

The weekend is approaching. Any plans for some attempts?

Supposed to be nice this weekend, might try the Buckmark out.

So late last year, I wanted to see how difficult it would be to split a playing card with a 22 pistol. So I tried my hand at it. I was successful, twice with two different pistols. Now I try it every chance I get. It's always so much fun. When I brought it up on INGO, I was surprised how many people have never tried it.

So I want to fix that. Hence this challenge. The winner will get a year Site Supporter status on me. If you already have the badge, we'll tack on another 12 months.

So here's the rules. Try and split a playing card at a minimum of 7 yards with a .22 lr or .22 WMR pistol. Post a picture of the gun, the split card and give a brief description of how many tries it took you. If you want to make a video, that's fine also.

Get your family involved too and make it a family & friends event if you want. Each successful split with get entered to win. Just put each one in a separate post.

The deadline will be June 30th, 2020


I'll pic the winning post with a random online number generator.

Here's my first two splits.

So get out there and give it a shot or two.....or three.....or fifty.......or a brick!!

BT, thats pretty good shooting with that M&P!

BT, thats pretty good shooting with that M&P!

Thanks. I was actually more impressed I did it with the Heritage. The sights on that thing are horrible.

 

[Bigtanker]

Weekend bump!

 

[gregkl]

Weekend bump!

depending on how busy the range is tomorrow, I may try it again.

 

[Bigtanker]

Bump it up again. Get out and try it!

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

Since Friendship is cancelled the fabulous Johnstons are headed up to Grand Valley cap n ballers for an impromptu shoot. I begged to tag along. Maybe we can try it.

 

[DadSmith]

Bump it up again. Get out and try it!

I plan on doing this just need to grab a deck of cards.

I found these.

 

[Bigtanker]

It doesn't get much closer than that. This was with the Heritage at 7 yards.

I switched it up and got out my 10" target MKII. Second shot split the Jack. 6th shot knocked the Queen off the mount. (I forgot the mags for the S&W so I wasn't able to try it again.)

A little over a week left. Get out and try it.

 

[deo62]

I would think that giving that queen a mustache counts. Good shooting' BT.

 

[gregkl]

Nice work BT.

You invented a new challenge; get as close to the card without splitting it.

Oh wait, you already won!

 

[Bigtanker]

Last weekend for the contest!

 

[gregkl]

I'm planning on going to the range this weekend. I'll fit it in and see if I can get it twice!

Thought I'd give it another try and use my MKIV with CCI SV this time. Not so much good shooting as "even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while".

One hand, 25' from muzzle to card. Touched the ace of spades in the upper left corner about 5 shots in and split it on either the 12th, 13th or 14th. After several misses, I switched to a two handed hold and split the ace of hearts somewhere in the 25th-30th shots.
