22 tactical

Team Elb and his masked mate Matt are thinking of running a 22 tactical rifle event on the same farm as the high power rifle event was held .

distances from 25 to 250 yards - unlike the last event where we move as a group this event would be a team team event walking from position to position spotting and scoring for each other .If you dont have a partner you will allocated one one the day -- each team would time and score for each other ....honestly !!!!:thumbsup: the reason is to move teams through faster so all are constantly shooting.
A range of target positions from prone kneeling and standing .

A must for this event is you come prepared -you must get out before this event and evaluate you rifle dope from distances I will advise .
Numbers will be limited also to around 20 people -22 ammo is cheap which is great but to achieve a high score wont be easy !!!

Were sounding this out so let us know thoughts of who would attend

event to happen in oct/nov

Ha, you guys just want to get some practice in for December! Dependant on the date i would be interested (i want some practice too).

yes , Is that for Harry's one Gille ? I thought this would be great for the Auckland region shooters or from afar as a inexpensive shoot that to be honest will be demanding in a shooting sense and for those who don't walk enough. I could see more 22lr events happening with not as much neighbor disturbance happening which high power guns have caused us once before

Heh heh heh... a little birdy may have mentioned that someone is running a 22LR field shoot in Rotorua the day before Harry's shoot... ;)

22LR shoots are great though. Cheap targets, cheap ammo, easier to set up, easy to run, juat about everyone has a 22LR. There should be more of these shoots going on!

I agree ! done well they will still be bloody demanding in the shooting skill area. one can go from shoot to the other!!

well there's me and you so far Gille

I would be pretty keen. Up to what distances were you thinking?

Hey Nibblet go to introduction post for general details please

Sounds brill, depending on the date, im in!

Blindly read straight past it. Still need to pull finger and send in my postal shoot.

I like the idea of them but it would mean taking a dialable scope off a real rifle buying 30mm rings to mount it to 22 zeroing validation and then take it back off and re zero on real rifle to go hunting.
Fine if you already have a good scope on the 22.

In saying that I have shot magpies at 180 plus using hold over and subs.

I am going to use a cheap scope with a mill dot -zero at 100 and check dot to distance and not wind the turrets

I'm interested, so long as the dates don't clash with anything else.
As a side issue is anyone else having a problem with CCI hollowpoint subs going supersonic? Had 1 in 5 doing it today.

Mine has a crooked duplex fixed 4x and the glass that only a 299 package deal can deliver! :D:D:D

Have you tried it out yet El B? 1Mil = something like 4MOA, so if your scope has 5x MIL dots below center that would be 20MOA. My subsonic 22LR takes 28.5MOA to be bang on at 200m from a 50m zero...

Yes, i thought i was hearing things... not one in 5 though, just random

Hmmm, yeah put some through a Chrono today - fastest one 1132fps slowest 1080. Average 1099fps in the test so the odd one is going over.

Well, here is a trick from the French for you: zero your scope at a 100m or 120m, use the lower dots to shoot up to 200 and beyond, and the upper dots for shorter distances ;-)

yep, i expect that is what El B will do... or use higher velocity ammunition. Personally i wouldn't zero the rifle for a longer distance because it would require me to remember a whole lot of new hold unders for shorter targets that may be set under a tighter time limit. I would expect in a 22LR shoot to have mostly shorter targets and therefore would set up my rifle to best suit the majortiy of the targets rather than the occasional longer target.

I am more of a clicker than a doter but can do both :-)

a few ideas guys what you might find challenging at an event for 22lr

Fixed iron sights

hell now thats hard mate for sure .! this comp will be optics . traditionally everything weve done has been prone so i think a change needs to happen to test all competitors - i for one shoot like shit standing , mind i can hardly hold my h/power rifles up for long as they weight a ton after a few seconds

I tried to shoulder kiwi Gregs 416 lol swung it up and held it for about 2 seconds and that was it :D

1 on 1, head to head shoot offs, multiple targets each from 25m to 150m - first to hit them all. Either based on time or on head to head knock out.

Gongs vs target. 1 shooter on the gongs one on the target. The target shooter tries for the highest score he can in the same time it takes the shooter on the gongs to hit them all. Then they swap.

Action M shoot. 2 shots prone, 2 shots standing, 1 shot kneeling/sitting, reload, 1 shot kneeling/sitting, 2 shots standing, 2 shots prone.

Naa, you guys are not getting it... Man on man is just IPSC, multi position etc is just NZDA.

El Tweedness wants a TACTICAL event, so here is what what I propose:

Standard firearms, you shoot what you get issued.
Standard kit, you carry your shit in a pack you get issued. Oh, and you can leave all your fancy crap at home, we will provide you with 15kg of bricks to carry for the event.
Each event needs to be preceded by physical activity to get your heart rate to at least twice your resting pulse.
All events will proceed irrespective of weather conditions.
And lastly, but most importantly, while competing in these events, competitors will be randomly subjected to any of the following:
- ice water
- being shot with a paintball gun
- loud noises
- disappearing/moving targets

bar the paint balls i think you get the prize!!!! given time this would be perfect -- less bricks per every 5 years of age me and rushy would have a coronary otherwise lol;

Wait till you see my penalties for cheating or not completing the course office in the prescribed time:D

Were a bit thin on the ground on this potential event --not to many interested in 22 lr event ........................
