Thread: nzhs rimfire challenge

have devised a little friendly forum shooting comp for the forum

rules as follows
1 rimfire only
2 all targets shot at 50m or yards im not going to bitch about if its yards or meters so you are better off working in yards as its closer
3 only the official target may be entered down load it here https://www.dropbox.com/s/i5rxjuo6i0...arget.pdf?dl=0
4 all targets measured and scored by me.... the official score keeper
5 any rest set up can be used excluding lead sleds
6 unlimited sighters can be fired on the 2 spare targets
7 you can enter as many times as you like with multiple firearms if you wish
8 be honest
9 have fun
10 be safe

there will be 4 categories
1 bolt action
2 semi auto
3 classic or vintage 30 years or older rifle (modern scopes allowed)
4 overall winner

(if there's enough people that want to shoot open sights i will make a purpose made target for that category)

all targets sent to nzhsrimfire@gmail.com for scoring ether scan and email your target or take a photo my target measuring software can adjust to the size of the photo
if you want a pdf of the target email and i will reply with one

how the targets will be scored
you will shoot 5 5 shot groups (25 rounds) on the 5 scoring targets 5 shots on each
scoring goes purely on group size so if the groups aren't in the center it don't matter
your groups will be added together and divided to get an average this average will be your score
so we are looking for consistency not just that one in 50 tiny group

target dimensions are 1" outer ring 1/2" (1moa at 50 yards) and 0.224" center just a touch bigger than a 22 projectile

there is no prize at this stage pure brag rights

entry's start now and end at 8pm on January 30th 2022

i know most of us wont be able to shoot for at least a week but there is some lucky buggers on here that could do it without leaveing home so GET AT IT

awesome, just bloody awesome. Thanks for taking the initiative and getting this going.

I printed the target but couldn't download it (without joining and paying for dropbox) Is it possible to change this ??

Will shoot one tomorrow if the wind and weather here permits!

drop box is free for less than 2 gb however you do need to join sadly
if you have issues
email me at nzhsrimfire@gmail.com and i will email you a pdf of the target that goes for everyone

if you click on the drop box link from a computer it takes you right to a printable version
if you are doing it from a mobile you will need to download the app so probably easier to email if that's the case

Presumably pump, straight pull and lever action will be included in the bolt action group......I think I might have a go at this....

Wish I hadn't sold all my rimfire rifles now lookks like great fun

well you can choose what you enter it into
but those would be 30 or more anyway

You can't let @Dundee play this game he'd win 50 yards on his range finder is actually 15 paces

Not to mention @Dundee has short legs so his fifteen paces would only be 5 of anyone of normal stature

have made a open sight version of the target exactly the same target but 3 times the size
in order to keep on an a4 there are no sighter targets or details on the page if there's enough open sight shooters i will make it available

Yeh im in with my RPR, Beretta Sport and a couple of others. Was going to get an order in with Shooting stuff to get some decent ammo to try out first.

A forum member has a rimfire 50 cal kammerladder
So that would qualify for this competition
But it's about 150 years old and not really match winning accuracy

That it fires at all is a win
