New rules added!

**************EDIT: I had forgotten that we were changing a few things up this month. Please see new rules below with some minor revisions to the posted classes / groups of shooters.****************

BE SURE TO READ THIS ENTIRE ANNOUNCEMENT AS THERE ARE SOME CHANGES IN THE RULES, TARGETS AND POSTING REQUIREMENTS!!! SEND PM TO MATCH COORDINATOR FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS. ( I know I'm yelling by using all CAPS but I need your attention).

Rules:

Following are the classes of Targets.

Pistol: 15 and 25yd . Offhand and bench rest scored separately. Iron sights, red dot or non-magnifed scope. One winner for 15 yd and 25 yd each offhand and bench rest.

Rifle-Iron Sights: 25yd, 50yd and 100yd Aperture Sights only. This class of shooting is determined by the type of rear sight on the rifle. Any type front sight is allowed as long as there is no magnification.

Rifle Iron Sights: 25yd, 50yd and 100yd Open Rear Sight only. This class of shooting is determined by the type of rear sight on the rifle. Open rear sight of the Buckhorn (notched) or similar type only. Any type of front sight is allowed as long as there is no magnification.

Rifle Scoped: 50yd and 100yd (25yd scoped at the Coordinators discretion). No limit on magnification.

This is an online match. Print all targets at 100%. Colored targets may be printed in grayscale to save on color ink, shoot where and when you want. Annotate on the target the Distance, Score and type of sights used (ie. Scope, Aperature, Open, Red Dot). Take a picture of your target(s) and post in this thread for bragging rights!! Flickr.com and Photobucket.com are two websites where you can host you target pictures and link to your post. Match runs from the 1st day of the month until the last day. Shoot as many targets as you want and post up to two targets for each target class.

Note: If the shot is touching the line, it is scored on the higher number.

I encourage meeting up with other match shooters. Any rimfire firearm is eligible. Shooting from a benchrest, prone, sitting, standing, hood of your car, leaning against a tree is acceptable. Using a rest in which the Rifle/Pistol can be locked down is verboten (ie. can't do that).


Bonus Points

Here is how it will work. This is only on targets that have multiple shots on one target We shoot the targets as normal and add up the scores like normal. The twist is we shoot for groups as well. For example, if we are shooting 5 shots on each target. If none of the 5 bullet holes are touching you get no bonus points. If two are touching you get 2 bonus points. If three are touching you get 3 bonus points on up to 5 bonus points for each target.

Finally for any questions just send a PM to the Match Co-ordinator for this month and he/she will get right back to you. Also feel free to send a PM with feedback/complaints/errors. Comments about the matches that are posted within the Match Thread will not be responded to, use PM only. Limit posts in the Match Thread to Target Posts and kudos to other shooters. These matches are based on “Gentlemen's/Ladie's Honor” so go shoot and have fun.

Make sure for each target indicate your total score and if not already indicated on the target note the distance shot and what type of sights. Ex: Score =xxx, Open or Aperture Sights, Scope, Red Dot. No fair shooting iron sight targets with a scope for score. )

Got out to shoot today. Shot the 25 and 50yd irons, one minute 25yd target and 50 yd scoped target. While I was not too keen on the one minute 25yd target I found it to be a lot of fun, especially as I was using a single shot rifle. In fact in was my favorite target of the day. Only got off 20 shots, all but one was a hit.

Scores:

25yd Irons-184
25yd 1 minute-190 or 207 if touching shots count.
50yd Irons-104
50yd Scope- 154









And then there was the surprise in the afternoon when I got home. 20 full minutes of .50 caliber hail. Got 1.4" of rain as well in 1 hour.

[peterabbits]

Yes, bonus points count on the minute target too. That's really good shooting, especially for a single shot! 95% hit ratio with 3 seconds between shots! Glad you enjoyed it. The other targets are equally impressive, as is the pictures of the hail storm - I would say I would love some of that here, but I need to get a new roof put on first.

Izzy - to confirm so I know what class to put you in, you were shooting aperture sights, correct?

Yes, aperture sights. thanks. Open iron sight and my old eyes just don't get along.

[Izzy43]

Holy cow...ain't it kinda early for that Izzy?

=8-)

We, like most areas, needed the rain. I have lived here for 3 years now and we have never had hail like it was today. Strange that it hailed but even more was the time that it came down and with some serious wind as well. I was concerned about my 3 cars in the driveway but none were damaged. All the plants and flowers took a real beating, especially my wife's roses, she's sick about it.

Good luck in the match this month.

So if I am reading this right, we now only have 2 pistol classes and 8 rifle classes. How is this going to work on the yearly overall points total, sure looks like it favors the rifle shooters now.
