New Contest starts now

Post by Niner » Sat Oct 13, 2012 6:50 pm

The shooting contest starts now. There will be a modest prize to be announced later. All registered users may participate using their local range of choice and acting within the limits of whatever their local laws may be.

Type of firearm: Any .22 rimfire rifle. No restrictions on sight, including scope sight.



Type of target: Download the picked target from online. Found at this site:

http://www.reloadbench.com/pdf.html

Open file in adobe printer be sure "actual size" is selected. Each bull circle should be approximately 3 and 1/8 inches in diameter after printing.



Number of rounds: Five rounds fired at each bullseye for score.

How scored: Center ring counts 10, then each larger ring in succession 9,8,7,6,5. Total five shots per each of two bullseyes with a total of ten shots to be added together for total score. Hits that cut a circle border will count as the higher value.


How fired: Your choice of stance: Standing, sitting, prone. If not standing, elbows may touch a solid surface for support. Distance 25 yards or 25 meters, depending on your range marks.


How submitted:

Scan or take a digital photo of the target, send the jpg in a PM attachment to Niner along with the following information: state your score, state if you used iron sights or scope, if you shot at 25 meters or 25 yards and the name and model of gun used.


End date: Saturday, November 10, 2012. All entry information must be in by close of day.



Additional conditions:

One submission per contestant.

No pasted over holes allowed on any submitted target.

If there is a tie between a target shot with iron sights and one with a scope...the iron sights win.

If there is a tie between a target shot at 25 meters and one shot at 25 yards, the one at 25 meters wins if sight conditions the same.

I'll keep the scores to myself until the end. I'll make posts to acknowledge those who have sent in scores and who are participating.

So we all shoot the same size target you all need to follow this process.

1. Open the link and save the specific target as a PDF
2. Open the file with Adobe Reader ( FREE )
3. Select Print.
4. Make sure that on the left hand side of the Print Command window you have selected ACTUAL SIZE.
5. Print as many copies as you like!!!

The target should be 3 1/8" or 80mm O.D.

Simples :bigsmile:

A pic of the rifle is a good idea :razz:

I was due to shoot last Wednesday but the shower in our Gîte started to leak so I had to spend the afternoon fixing it.... :evil: :evil: :evil:
Have reprogrammed for next Wednesday. :)
