I like Dave's idea.

How about both 22 caliber, shoot what you got, at 25 yards and another shoot at 100 yards with whatever milsurp rifle? Have a first place and second place in each.

I'll be in it.

Strangely enough we don't have a marked 25 yards on our range - we start our .22 comps at 40 yards. So I'll have to mark it out myself using those new fangled metric thingies - I'm pretty sure 25 yards is about, ...um.....let's see now...divide by 12, carry the 7, yep I'm guessin' 3 of them there metre thingies would be about right :D

Duncan,

I'm sure it's a good bit of kit but I like my math better (and I need all the help I can get).

Any other ideas?

Before I go typing up the fine points, any other ideas.

Number of rounds fired? Choice of targets?

How 'bout offhand, 50 meters, any military rifle? now that would be a test of the shooter...

If you're going to shoot open sights (as most military is) make the target something/anything with a 6 inch black.

And to take belgmart's idea a little further how about offhand at 50m for the .22 and offhand at 100m for the centrfire ?

And 10 rounds cause 5 holes spread all over the target looks pretty sparse.

Just my 2 cents worth.
