Continuing with the 3M theme, let's call this one the Milsurp Marathon Match. Any valid milsurp rifle with issue sights is eligible and that includes sniper rifles.
Targets will be the same as previously used. Either the 100 yard smallbore target or the one used for the matches over on http://www.surplusrifle.com courtesy of Jamie Mangrum.
Categories:
A. Offhand - iron sights, no slings or other bondage devices. 50 yards.
B. Prone/Sitting/Kneeling - iron sights, slings okay, but no other support. You may sit at a bench, but the use of any support other than your elbows on the table is a no-no. Distance is 100 yards.
C. Snipers - prone/sitting/kneeling. 200 yards.
D. Black Powder - BP cartridge or muzzle stuffers original or reproductions. 50 yards offhand.
Ammo: If your rifle will shoot it, it is eligible.
Course of fire: 12 rounds with best 10 counting.
Scoring: Points are awarded based on the ring in which the round hits. Rounds which break a ring boundary (that is break and not touch) will be score on the higher rings value. X-ring hits are 10 points. X-ring hits will also be counted separately for use as tie breakers. Hits outside of the 5-ring count as zero.
Prizes:
First place: First place will be award in each category and will entitle the winner to bragging rights. Maybe we will find some appropriate certificate suitable for framing that might at least be used to hide an embarassing hole in the wall.
Dates: July 1 through midnight October 2nd.
Entry Submission: Post your results in the Milsurp Marathon Match Entries thread in this forum. As in the past, please provide the identification of the rifle used, the category, shooting position, ammo, and your score. You need not post a picture of your targets, but pictured results will take precedence over non-pictured results in cases of a tie.
You may enter as many times as you like, but should only submit one entry per rifle.
If it makes you feel better, you may gloat or offer whinny-assed excuses for not doing better.
SPECIAL RULE You will have fun.
