The first detail will commence at 11:30am on the windmill range. Entry fee is €10 for members and non members alike. Re-entry may be possible depending on turnout as will re-entering, and shooting with a different caliber.

Zeroing can be done on the 100mtr sheltered range between 10am and 11am, and all competitors must be on the windmill range by 11:20am. When/if zeroing on the sheltered range please be aware it is a 100 METRE range and the actual shoot will take place on the 100 YARD range. The usual licenses and insurances details/cards will be required.

Sounds like fun.
My .223 is in the Garage.
Can I use my .308 as it is a hunting rifle?

I had planned on attending the .22lr shoot at ECSC.

Then, this thread was posted. This date was posted as a "Deer" shoot on the MNSCI site so I assumed I would not have been able to enter.

Unfortunately, I can't attend both

I have decided that as I'm a member of MNSCI I should support this competition.

Dyslexia lures KO?

I'll bring the .308 so

I'd be more confident with the .223, but she'll have to do!

And I'll bring the 22lr just to give you a chance of getting a place in the rankings.

Will the use of moderators be allowed?

I'll look forward to this, I doubt I will get a place in the rankings as the snap shooting will be hard for me as I rarely do it.

Would I be right in saying 24 rounds for comp?

dev110 · 02-03-2011 11:44AM

I would love to do it but by the sounds of it I would probably make a show of myself! Will try get off work...

Yes. Once you have the "S" on your license absolutely no problems.

Tackleberrywho wrote: »

Also correct. 24 rounds plus whatever ye lads need for zeroing before the comp.

Ok, not a bad set up. 24 rounds+ 2-3 to test wind drift and Zero.
Sounds like fun.

Since this is a FUN shoot and open to NON Members with Insurance and Licences with them; could it be posted on the General shooting Forum to get more exposure?

Come down ! It'll be a bit of fun if nothing else

And don't worry you'll not be on your own when it comes to making a fool of yourself, I usually do a good job of that too

Rules are if it takes place on a range, irrespective of format, its target shooting and this is the forum for it.

Fair point

dCorbus · 02-03-2011 06:24PM

Sounds like another fun day out!:cool:

Two questions:

1. Are muzzle brakes allowed be used?
2. Is it open to all rifles (i.e. Would someone such as my goodself be able to use ones TRG perhaps)?

It's nice to have so much choice of competitions to shoot, all on the one day!:)

Cass · 02-03-2011 06:31PM

Everything is allowed including, but not limited to:

Muzzle breaks
Moderators
Peep Sights
Scopes
Iron sights
Smallbore rifles
Air rifles
Fullbore
F/TR
F-Open
Semi auto
Bolt action
Single shot

.............. the list goes on.

There are no limitations as to the type of rifle or accessories/extras you use. Once your licensed its fair game.

dCorbus · 02-03-2011 06:35PM

Thanks, ezridax.

Do you know if one can shoot in both the rimfire and centrefire classes? Or does one have to just pick one?

Not sure if I can spare the centrefire ammo, but wouldn't mind giving the ol' girl one last outing doing what she was designed to do best.:o

Otherwise, I'll just have to "settle" :rolleyes: for using my CZ.

clivej · 02-03-2011 06:57PM

It says somewhere in the heading that you can enter both cf and rf. I hope so cos I'm bringing along the 308 & 22lr and hope shoot both but not at the same time

You should bring your .204 and show people what it can do

There shouldn't be a problem with re-entering with another caliber rifle. The only thing that may limit this is the turnout.

The details will not be too long. The first detail will be 1 - 1.5 minutes. The second detail about a minute or less. If we get through them quick enough we can have lads re-entering with a second rifle. My advice would be to register with the rifle you wish to use first then register your second rifle as your "fallback" or second choice if the opportunity presents itself.

To answer another question about insurance. NARGC insurance is more than adequate. Any insurance that normally covers a shooter will suffice.

Also i have been informed that the 100mtr sheltered range will be available to shooters between 10am and 11am for zeroing, but the lads at the range have set aside 2 target boards on the windmill range, away from the main shooters to allow lads to properly rezero for 100yds or if they wish to check/adjust, etc their rifle. You simply inform one of the ROs that you want to zero and they will set you up so you can do so as the comp is being shot.

Now that's out of order.

Anyone entering a comp should be zeroed in out of the box and know what the drop to each 25y to a target will be. Just like I does.

Now where's my glasses.

I only heard about this by accident on a tread on the hunting section.

All ye target shooters are keeping this kind of stuff to your selves long enough.
I'm going to have to call up there and see what this is all about.

Sounds like hunting only you get a do over.

I cant wait to meet up with ye all and put some faces to the clever names.

Hopefully we will get to see this famous .204 of bunnies. I don't know if I will be able to control my self

:p

Tackleberrywho · 03-03-2011 11:03PM

Look forward to seeing you there Paulo, Try and bring a few shooting mates too.

Could be the HUNTERS competition of the year!
