I've been thinking (yes, that is dangerous :D) about the idea of 100 yard paper target competition for some time now.
Probably winter only, so competition could be shot from cover as per Smallbore etc.

The idea is to keep it simple, minimal rules (ha! ha! ;))

a.) Air rifles 12ft lbs/16 joules no FAC
1.) Springers, PCP, or Any Other Type, Any Calibre i.e. no separate classes
2.) Open i.e. no grades
3.) Shooting Jackets and Gloves allowed
4.) No Slings
5.) Prone section using a bipod or front sandbag, no rear sandbag
(no Benchrest or F Class type bipods - simple Harris type)
6.) All rifles would be chronographed at every competition
Just before handing in cards for scoring, direct from the firing line
With the pellets used for the competition

b.)Three sections of 15 shots = 45 shots
Time for each section = 30 minutes - total time limit 1hr 30 minutes - that gives 2 minutes per shot
1.) Sitting (FT style) - 15 shots
2.) Kneeling (FT style) - 15 shots
3.) Prone using a bipod or sandbag (not Benchrest or F Class types - simple Harris type) - 15 shots
4.) No rear sandbag to be used

c.) Target Size & scoring
1.) target size - standard 100yard Smallbore target
2.) inward gauging

d.) Entry cost
1.) Cost of three targets - 1 for each section
2.) Range fee
3.) Entry Fee
4.) Total Cost

This is just a beginning point of my idea.
So does anybody have any thoughts on this idea?

I have been able to make 5 inch, 10 shot group @ 100 yards in low wind conditions,
with a 12ft lb air rifle, Steyr Lg110, using .177cal 7.9 grain pellets.
When the wind increases it gets much more difficult.
I suspect using heavier pellets would help. ]]> General Airgun Chat PeteM http://www.shooting-the-breeze.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5229 Emley Names http://www.shooting-the-breeze.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5227&goto=newpost Fri, 10 Sep 2010 07:41:27 GMT *Saturday* Adam Ward (IH) 14-16 Alan Jones Alan Moss Andrea Marshall Andrew Burgess Andrew Longyear Andrew Underwood 9-13 Andy Jones Andy...

BUT, they will be selling at Euro 1649 / GBP 1359 (Yahoo FX Spot Rate), then add Euro 30 for P&P to your local RFD or to your door delivery, and figure your local bank will give you lousy exchange rate + wire transfer fee. All in, ball park 1400 quid I reckon.

Well, that was a weird evening weatherwise.
We started without a breath of wind, which was eerie for MAD, then it got darker in the space of about 5mins, then the wind started and the heavens opened. Back in clubhut for a chat.
Four people managed to post a score of 60 with handicaps applied and due to the weather Roger checked the cards and sorted the winner out on countback.

I honestly couldnt get on with it. Have used the 97 with an EB sniper and BSA 8-82 ,and it was fine. Just didnt suit the Falcon,well not for me anyway. So i fitted scope onto Prosport and i found it spot on. Initially it took awhile just to put a decent group together at 55yds. It seems alot harder using a high mag scope. Standers are really scary lol. However im now confident that with a little more practise the T35 is gonna improve my shooting. Anyway the 97 is now in the for sale section. Have been comparing both rifles for at least a month. I just prefer the Prosport, it just feels better balanced regardless of which scope you use. I also prefer the CD trigger,find it easier to set up. Infact the prosport is easy to strip and maintain and is extremely accurate, and has the looks to match. :) ]]> General Airgun Chat cb2591 http://www.shooting-the-breeze.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5218 2010 UKAHFT Manufacturers League http://www.shooting-the-breeze.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5216&goto=newpost Wed, 08 Sep 2010 15:10:32 GMT Team|Lea Valley|Bisley|Tawd|MAD1|MAD2|Shepreth|Emley1|Emley2|Quarry|Total STEYR | 12 | 12 | 12 | 11 | 12 | 11 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 70...
