Thread: Longrange Proficiency test

I set up this test here in Norway so the clubs can get some money into the club coffers and build proper infrastructure. It is also a way to keep the fee low on a LR shoot, but still bring in money for infrastructure as those who want can shoot the test. In Norway we charge NZ$30 per try.

The test is easy enough to be accessible for most shooters without investing in any special equipment and very little training.
The test at highest valour is hard enough for experienced shooters to grind their teeth,

1 target 500 meters or farther.
1 minute time limit. Start with scope set to zero and rifle butt on ground.
1 shot. Score according to hit.

So far three videos to illustrate the test:






Approved dimensions are:
Target max ø 35 cm
Large circle max ø 30 cm
Mid circle max ø 15 cm
Small circle max ø 7,5 cm.
If target breaks the circle but is not completely inside, it is a miss.


You cannot test-shoot target same day as the test.
You can test shoot a different target placed at least 25 meters shorter or farther away. (First shot of the day is not practical on a range)

You can make a second attempt but then have to shoot at a new target AT LEAST 25 meters farther than any of the targets you have shot that day.
OR
You can make a second attempt same target but with a new rifle.
OR
You can wait 3 hrs and make a second attempt same target with the same rifle.
