SH Long Range Competitions
Below are the General guidelines to use
Below are the General guidelines to use
1) CALIBERS / ACTIONS - Open to all smallbore rimfire cartridges & actions (bolt, semi, lever, break open, pump, single feed, repeater, etc)
2) SIGHTS - Four (4) Sight Classes - (S) = Scope, (L/R) = Laser or Red dot, (A) =Aperture, (O) = Open Iron
3) ROUND COUNT - Currently, each match will have a 25 round count.
4) SUPPORT / SHOOTING AIDS - A Sling & Shooting glove may be used when shooting each match. Bipod, Backpack, Sandbag or other front support to the forestock / barrel in combination with a sling may be used. BUT no rear support, rifle fired from the shoulder. No "Lead sled" or benchrest type rests allowed.
5) DISTANCES / POSITIONS - Currently, there are 3 optional distances, 100, 200, 300 Yards. You can shoot 100, 200, 300 Meters, but no handicap allowed for the extra distance difference. There will be only 2 positions - Bench "B" or Prone "P".
6) SIMULATED GONGS / DISCS - As many ranges only allow paper targets, most of the downloadable / printable targets have simulated gongs in a shaded area in the center of the scoring rings. The combination targets of scoring rings and simulated gongs may be used (at the shooter's option) for any of the matches and also be used to post a score for BOTH the scoring ringed targets and gong matches, essentially shooting two matches with the same 25 rounds. Or if the shooter prefers, at 100 yards they can use the 100 yard multiple gong target and put 5 rounds per disc (5 discs on the target).
7) 1 SCORE PER MATCH - In other words, if you shoot the same match with the same rifle, at the same distance, in the same position, with the same caliber, with the same optic, that is a double shot match. If you shoot a particular match with a different caliber, different position, different optic, or support side, it is NOT considered a double shot match. Support Side means if you usually shoot right handed, you shoot it left handed. If you shoot left handed, you shoot it right handed. When posting a score, put SS after the match description.
8) POSTING A PICTURE IS NOT NECCESSARY, BUT HELPFULL TO DETERMINE MATCH WINNERS OR TO USE THE PHOTO AS A LEARNING / TRAINING / COMPARISON TOOL.
9) A new thread will be posted every month, however if there is no new thread already posted for the month after the first week, someone please start a thread titled "(new month / year it is) SH Short Range Rimfire Competitions"
10) To make it easier on whomever is administrating / compiling the scores at theend of the month, please put the title of the match shot at the top of yourpost along with the caliber. If more than one match shot per shooter, please put in a space between the two matches, along with a similiar title of the different match...THIS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
11) So that the monthly thread doesn't get too "busy", please post any comments, questions, or anything not score related in the "Learnings thread / sticky" to be found in the monthly header information. "Great shooting" or "good score" type of atta boys is fine, but a long BS session makes it harder and takes more time to sort and compile scores and shooters at the end of the month. This will also make it easier to whom ever is administrating the competitions for the month...AND WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
12) All scores are "best edge"...even if most of your hit is in a lower scoring ring, as long as the next higher scoring ring's line is broken you get the next higher scoring ring's point value. The same holds true for the simulated gongs.
13) These are friendly matches ment for fun, practice, and training. There is no need for criticism, off remarks, or insults to the shooter or their equipment. Some "Stone busting" is fine, just make sure it's short, in good taste, and there is an attempt to add a
to ensure it was just "stone busting" and not you are not being a jerk.
