Fair enough BS, but sure stick it up in there as well why don't you? I can think of at least one ex-mod who shoots a .223 who'd turn upbunny shooter wrote: »NOTE : Mods I posted this in the hunting section as it's aimed at hunters. They might not look in the "Target Section"

Whats the setup for this shoot?? As in how's it going to be run?
Just so that I can get my eye in before the comp
Clive tbh with ya I've no idea at the moment. I mentioned a comp of this nature to Tony a few months ago and well he said ya great idea you can help run it :eek: I haven't been able to get there in a while but hope to be there soon to meet Tony and sort it out.
In the meantime ideas welcomed.
Just one thing remember it has to be static shooting prob no further than 200 - 300 yards0 -
spoke to JP and he's talking about 100 and 200 meters other than that nothing agreed yet. so kneeling prone sitting standing or bench ???? also would it be one of the patchable fox targets:):) should be interesting if we get weather like today 80mph winds:eek::eek:
Clive, you trying to play the under dog hand again :rolleyes:

Can I just say that the main reason behind this shoot is a bit of craic My attitude is why bother unless your enjoying it ..................... bit of good natured banter is more fun than competition rivalry
And as fishslapped says the ****e talk is great too :cool:0 -

I totally agree, it might shake off the recession blues. After all, we're Irish so we don't get down about much:D Ps. Do we need to book it in advance or can that be done closer to the date?
Just turn up at approx 10am how simple is that tell lads in office you want to shoot comp and we'll look after you 0 -

As FS said anything between .22 hornet and .220 Swift namely, .22 hornet, .222 rem, .17 rem, 204 ruger, 220 swift, 223 ............... these are generally taken in hunting circles as "fox" calibres, we know that 22-250 and 243 are used but we want to restrict it to the upper limit of .223/220 swift.
There are a lot of "fox" shooters out there who dabble in target shooting this comp is mainly for them 22/250 is still considered the "smallest" deer calibre allowed therefore we have decided to stick to the "old" divide between vermin/deer calibres
22 magnum/17 hmr would not really be deemed suitable on foxes to 200 yards
There are a few comps for 22lr during the year too 0 -

Why not have the bullet calibre ceiling as 224-and that evens the playing field?0 -
That would mean no .17 rem, 204 ruger and possibly 222, which are all used for fox shooting in this country and are not deer legal. FTR I use 17 rem and my bro uses 204 ruger
Basically the remit was centrefire fox calibres, exculding those that were deer legal.
There are lot of fox shooters using the range whose calibres don't/didn't have comps for their specific calibres.
22lr is covered, so is f-class and there is a "deer" shoot held there too.
I and a few of my mates there are fox/target shooters therefore we have decided to run this comp. Tony, Jim & JP are more than happy to facilitate anyone who wants to organise a comp 0 -

He meant the ceiling was .224, so your .17 and the .204 would still be perfectly fine, while the .243 wouldn't. If you want to exclude the deer-legal calibres, that's fair enough, it's your show, but nobody considers the .22-250 a deer round, any more than they do the .220 swift. I'll definitely give the competition a look-in anyway, what do you plan on having for the format? What course of fire?0 -

check my post again bunny , i changed it to make the bullet calibre ceiling .224 that way you can have anything and everything up to 22-250 or 220 swift- as these are ballistically very close as to make no difference
as its generally accepted the swift is inherently more accurate than 22-250 but thats another can of worms:D0 -

Actually the only reason the .22-250 is still deer-legal is that the Irish Deer Society didn't think it was worth the effort to ban because so few people were still using them or buying new ones...

My comprehension skills are not THAT bad The post was edited (see post #35 ) Previously it stated only .224 bullets :eek: 0 -

Nice one bunny, fair play to you for organising something for the 'orphaned' calibres.
Unfortunately won't be able to go because we're having a benchrest shoot the same day, they shouldn't affect each other but I'd love to see the results, especially with the different calibres on show. Will you post them here after?0 -

It's a very good idea for a competition. I'm looking forward to seeing how it works out. Must try get the results up, with the calibre used beside the names.0 -

I missed it too had to read posts a few times to cop it
.17 Rem is awsome calibe, my bro has best shot I've seen with it. He has taken down a fox at 270+ yards. No messing Never rocochets either :cool: 0 -
