Kev, I have issue with one rule

1A. Folks shooting a 22 LR can shoot at 50 yards and will be Judged the same .

While I agree that 22LR should be welcome I feel this gives the 22LR shooters a un even advantage.

My suggestion is that they too shoot at 100 yards, I personally have no problem shooting a 22LR to 100 yards so I believe its not a handicap on anyone.

Ill shoot mine in 5 days at the arfcom shoot.


Can we make this a Charity shoot , maybe a 2 buck judging fee that goes to Kenno?

NO , RULES ARE SET . This is so some of the little people and folks on a budget can join in the fun and have a chance .

I will not handle any $ , let Kev decide on that .

How about an address and I don't have a functioning printer.
Mind if I use one of those 6" sticky types that throw orange or green color when hit?

allright if i can get to the range soon enough i would like to give this a shot. I will do it with my bolt action .22lr because thats the only size calaber rifle i own. so we have to be in the prone, spread out position? cant stand or kneel?
I am sure i won't win but will have fun.

I shot my entry this afternoon. I like the "prone position only" stipulation.Makes you really concentrate,inspite of the slush on the ground.'I cut down 8 trees this morning,moved about 15 wheelbarrow loads of firewood,stacked it,went shooting,came back and moved about another 12 or so loads and stacked it. I'm whipped...

I don't have access to a proper range but after talking to my uncle this past weekend I'm game. I'll be using a 1939 Mosin-Nagant 91/30. Probably with 1960s era Czech Yellow tip. Pretty sure the guys with hand loads will whip me but I love the idea of the contest.

Wow, I would love to be in on this. One problem... I don't own a single long gun without optics...really good optics...almost unfair optics.

Maybe I will shoot and send it in just for fun to see how I compare to the iron sight crowd.

Food for thought. Maybe next time we could have an optic division or handicap for optics (500meters vs 100m for open sights).

Good luck to all.
