    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.
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

    Glad to hear seated and prone are options.

    I feel compelled to shoot it.

    I don't remember the any position discussion. I thought we were discussing standing offhand. Thats why I said it earlier. If you go any other position - will you allow rests, bipods, lead sleds, other fixed and or gyroscopicially stablized mounts? Are you going to match up pistols against rifles? 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. Jim
