But I do strongly suggest ammo in the mag limits. Folks need to be able to shoot single shot bolt guns and at least almost be competitive.
Agree... Jim

Don't get your statement. This is adding something to the traditional pistol match. Come out, shoot the regular match, put the pistols up, pull the 22 rimfire rifles out and keep playing.Quote:

Keep those out too?
See the slope getting wet clay slippery? :)
A form member has a american 180 along wiith several 177 round magazines . With that rifle you might just be able to miss fast enough to win!
I think 10 rounds is reasonable but one round is kinnda low.Quote:

I saw a few folks at the last match looking for something to throw at the pins. Really. :roflmao:Quote:

I saw someone at the last match actually throw something at the pins. It was a large speed loader if memory serves :-) Excessive recoil seemed to have affected his throwing aim.Quote:

Good question, I thought of that also since I am gonna bring my Marlin model 60 but I figured it would be like the 18 round limit with the pistols on the last shoot. Ten rounds max per shoot. Just guessing though. I'll bring the 15-22 also.Quote:

How much do you think they weigh? More than a rifle?!Quote:

Wow. Now one can see the why behind what "they" say about committees.
Jafar, I have the same bolt gun. It is my Remmy 700P .308 "trainer". It works very very well for that with the right ammo.
Guys, the last time we all discussed this match in person it was agreed on "any rifle or pistol, any optic, seated, kneeling, standing, or prone as long as it is .22LR, 10-rounds per load (magazine) maximum, and it is 50 yards." I added in consultation with JD, that the pin tops will be on a railroad crosstie and they need to fall over, not be knocked completely off the tie.
Unless you mutts get you shit together and collectively put forward some other complete plan, the last discussed and collectively agreed to plan is how I will be expecting to run the match.
Remember; this match is completely 100% optional. No one is compelled in any way, shape, or form to shoot it. The pistol pin league match will run as normal. :)
So as not to cheat I have not shot the tops to sandbag practice. However I can step out in the back yard and shoot one to test it.
Do you have a lab coat?Quote:

I agree Rumbler he is not normal,no lab coat,how do we know that his experiment was legentimate!
Invalid result.Quote:

Did the .22s penetrate and stay in?
I shot .40 grain blazers. 50 yards, standing. Never claimed to be normal. Normal people freak me out. Be glad to demonstrate the results again on Thursday. But to be fair to you guys we should really move the shoot out to 100 :-) I'm not as good as you guys at pistols but I shoot the shit outta .22s every weekend. It's affordable and shit. There, the gauntlet is down! Lab coats are optional. I'll bring some shotgun hulls to spice it up at 50 if ya'll want to step up lol.
Great...........so...................Quote:

Mmmm..... Consider them measured, they are about 5 1/2" tall, a few inches taller than you. No lab coat required.Quote:

I'll be glad to shoot against you at that range with the .22 sir.Quote:

My view on this (your mileage will vary) was that we were going to test the skill of the shooter not the expense of the equipment. There is nothing like shooting offhand to test your metal. It is the great equalizer since few people practice it. JimQuote:

It was my personal thought that the time lost moving rests, restabilizing gyroscopes, from pin top to pin top would more than likely offset any advantage in using them to compete against a shooter who chose an unsupported standing position (or the like).
But - and I really mean this - it don't matter to me if I personally like the match or not. This is all about you guys. Like I said earlier; you guys workout an alternative complete plan and I'll run it that way.
. . and enjoy the seemingly inevitable fistfight you all get into during the process. :nyahnyah:
Me and Doc already got a side match . . . . for the side match.:banana:
Hopefully I'll have time to sight my shit at 200 prior to the match. However I'll damn sure show and shoot sir. I love that shit. Long range with the .22 is a blast to me.
The starrett steel rule requires no lab coat.Quote:
