The caliber/BC restriction is an interesting point. I tried to get round that by dividing the 300m score by the projectile BC i.e. the lower the BC the more your score would be increased with the conversion of course you still have to hit a scoring ring... ;)

Fair enough, that could/would be a better way to do it. Getting an area to do the shoot will be a problem for some.

Yes but making a timeframe of almost 2 months gives plenty of time for people to get access to somewhere to participate!!

Get a format done up and we will get into it. What size V bulls will be on the targets to score? Or will they be the same?

I thought we were doin the one that simon suggested? Varmint type!
Run with that for now as it sounds like alot of fun and easy for most to participate..
Then we can run something longer over the summer when time and weather lets us out more...

But i think it will be really hard to do anything really LR postal

Ok drop the time limit then?

Id host it but ill be at sea from 22nd sept to 28th oct..

If simon was still to host then plenty of people have the targets around here to email them anyway and 6th oct to the end of the month gives people plenty of time to get the targets in to him?

So are we agreed and a GO???

Sorry baldbod, i thought you were suggesting we fire 5 shots at all four targets in 3 minutes i.e. 20 shots in 3 minutes....
I like the time limit though, did this at a long range shoot in Rotorua. It screwed quite a few people up... :D You aren't allowed to have any gear waiting at your shooting position though, you have to carry it all with you those 5m (Shooting mat, spotting scope, rear bag, pedistal rest....)

So sighters or not? You don't really get sighters out in the field...
5 shots on each target?
A caliber or BC restriction? Divide the 300m target score by the bullet G1 BC? Or just don't worry and allow anything with no gauging or "grading"? This would certainly give an advantage to those keen to shoot it with larger calibers - asuming their shooting ability does not degrade with caliber.
How many people run a varmint rifle caliber .270 or larger though?

At that range its all about the accuracy of the rifle and the skills of the shooter..

Not disagreeing with you but at 300m using a projectile with a higher BC will help, particularly with the size of the scoring rings.
Yep and most F-Class guys i have talked to agree that the 300yard range is basically an accuracy race as the wind doesn't have enough of an effect. Of course their v-bull is about the size of our target...

No sighters would allow a more field orientated sense to the shoot...
300m is to short to effect a BC restriction I feel.. as BC means F...all that short, I rekn you will need to be calibre restricted ie 6.5 or less...
I dont think it will give to much advantage to the larger calibres...
If it makes you feel better you could implement gauging on it?

But its an accuracy race lol

ok then that sounds like a plan then:
Rabbit at 100m, magpie at 150m, possum at 200m, wild cat at 300m
5 shots at each target - no sighters - honesty required :ORLY:
3 minute time limit for each target starting 5m back from the shooting position carrying all the gear you require i.e. no gear pre-setup at the shooting location.
Caliber restricted to 6.5mm and under. No gauging. Inward scoring.
No other rifle or sight restriction.
No restriction on type of rest or shooting position (shooting off a bench would be fine, you just have to carry it 5m!)
Targets submitted by the 16th of November 2012

Hows that sound? Basically an accuracy race to 300m (i.e. meters not yards... :P)

I reckon your on to something...

Better start a new thread For it ah?

Otherwise the rules will get lost in the kerfuffle and we will all get confused

Probably about time we kick off another 22LR postal shoot i think.

I am away on holiday for a month in about 6 weeks time so i might kick one off before then and close the entries late October. I'll have a think about the format as well so if you have any ideas without changing the theme too much let me know.:thumbsup:

Just seen this, without reading all 19 pages,, can i use my semi/auto Ruger 10/22 take down.....or is it for bolt action only?
11-07-2013, 11:42 AM
Gillie

Semi-autos are fine. Page 1 will tell you the shoot rules. I'll start a new post anyway to get us underway.

I thought i might change the rule allowing people shooting a single shot to have it loaded by a 'helper' within the time limits...

Well I am gonna use my M597 .22 Semi if I manage to get organised to give it a go. Will be the third time I have used it in 10 years. Been sighted in, Fired only one shot since (rabbit for dinner) and been sitting in the safe ever since. Wish I had never traded my Bruno Model 2E for it. We live and learn

thought i might also introduce (See page 1 of this thread for the full rules):

For junior shooters (aged 13 and under at the date of shooting) who are unable to hold the rifle reasonably steady can have another person help them hold the rifle fore end. This decision shall be at the discretion of the parent or supervising person and shall be notified on the target when they are submitted for scoring.
For Shooting position 1, junior shooters (aged 13 and under at the date of shooting) who are unable to hold the rifle reasonably steady (as above) may have the time limit extended by a further 10 seconds.
