Just in from the range and i have the details of the comp. It will be a 100 & 200 yard competition with a small "unofficial comp" to kick things off.
Details are:


Cold Bore Shot.

Before the actual comp starts we will have an "unofficial" comp with a cold bore shoot. The premise is simple. Every shooter will get into the prone firing position and their first shot will be at a bullseye target. There will be no sighters, no fouling shots, nothing. Each shot will be measured and the closest one to the dead centre of the bullseye will be the winner.

The prize will be a small thing (refund of entrance fee or something to that extent) as it's more a bit of fun, and something to kick off the actual comp.

100 Yard shoot.

The 100 yard shoot will be, obviously, at 100 yards. All competitors will be in the prone position. You will fire 3 shots at the target, reload, then fire another 3 shots. Time will be allowed between shoots to allow for reloading of the mag. The target will be a animal shaped target that will be chosen at random. All competitors will have the same animal target so everyone has the same chance, and same point of aim.

All shots will be timed. The actual amount of time will be given on the day, but it's expected to be approx 20 second for the first 3 and 15 seconds for the second three shots.

There will be a magnification limit set on all scopes. The exact magnification limit will be set on the day, but it's expected to be approx. 15 power. PLEASE remember this may rise or be lowered on the day. Each rifle will be checked prior to firing and after firing to ensure the appropriate mag setting is on each scope and ensure no increase in mag limit occurs during the comp. You may use a lower setting than this if that is all your scope allows for or you simply wish to use.


200 Yard shoot.

This is, again obviously, shot at 200 yards. The target will be a bullseye target. Competitors will shoot 4 rounds, reload, and fire 4 more shots. Time will be allowed between shoots to allow for reloading of the mag. All shots will be from the prone position.

It is a timed shoot. The actual amount of time will be given on the day, but it's expected to be approx 60 seconds for the first 4 and 45 seconds for the second four shots.

There will be a magnification limit set on all scopes. The exact magnification limit will be set on the day, but it's expected to be approx. 20 power. PLEASE remember this may rise or be lowered on the day. Each rifle will be checked prior to firing and after firing to ensure the appropriate mag setting is on each scope and ensure no increase in mag limit occurs during the comp. You may use a lower setting than this if that is all your scope allows for or you simply wish to use.



PLEASE read and understand these competition rules to avoid disappointment on the day.

A few range rules that apply regardless of competitions being held or not. These are also very important so please read and understand them.

• All rifles MUST be cased when arriving on the range.
• All rifles MUST be kept cased until you are called to your detail and when finished you must case the rifle and return it to your vehicle.
• NO handling of firearms behind the firing line.
• All firearms MUST have a breech flag or the bolt & mag removed when taking them out of the case on the firing line.
• DO NOT load the rifle, insert the bolt/mag until the RO (Range Officer) instructs you to.
• DO NOT fire until given the instruction to do so.
• If in doubt about any instruction stick your hand in the air and ask. Those not familiar with range protocols might be nervous. Don't be. Just ask.
• Make sure you have eye and ear protection with you.
• Please have valid license for the firearms you have on the day, and current insurance details/cards.
• All competitors MUST sign in at the range office before moving to the Creedmoor range for the comp.

It seems like a lot lads & ladies but it's basic common sense and none of ye should have any bother with it.

Any questions feel free to ask and see you all on the firing line.

Balls. Thought i had that in. I'll edit now.

In short:

Suppressors - Fine
Brakes - No.

After reconsidering, given the interest in amount of shots fired, the course of fire will be as follows:

• 1 (single) Cold Bore shot @ 100 yards. (separate fun comp with cash prize for closest to the bullseye)
• 3 details of 3 shots @ 100 yards on animal target (Total 9 shots)
• 2 details of 5 shots @ 200 yards at Bullseye target (Total 10 shots)

Total for the entire comp will be 20 rounds.

The forecast is not great for Sunday. Light rain throughout the day so bring wet gear and plan for the worst. If the day turns out to be too bad the comp will be moved into the sheltered range, but until then it'll go ahead on the Creedmoor as planned.

Please remember that there will be no zeroing or checking of scopes/rifles, etc. before the comp so come prepared.

New thread here. Closing this one.
