Bullseye 360

Feisar

Can ye tell me what size/type of target is used for the Bullseye 360 comps in the Midlands please?

Edit - I googled it to death but no avail.

Cass

You've shot on the Midlands so you're aware of the cenrtrefire, concentric circle, targets?

I believe, and i'm open to correction, they use that as the first target and then use smaller (from 6 or 7 ring to the v-bull) inserts to replace the centres after each detail.

Cass

I had a couple of the inserts but cannot find them as its been over a year since i shot a match plus they collect them after each detail to get scores and for record keeping.

I measured the centrefire rifle target and the v-bull is 21/22mm, the 10 ring is 45mm, and each scoring ring measures 22mm (7/8") from 9 out to 1.

Cass

These are a rough facsimile of the target




and these of the inserts between details to avoid using full targets each time. They're A4 size iirc.

What Calibres and distances?

Thanks

Feisar

Cass, thanks for that, I wanted an idea of what I'd be looking at.

Any caliber.

and distances?

Pistol is 25yards to 10 yards in 5 yard increments.

Rifle is 50 yards, 40 yards and 25 yards. Lying, kneeling/sitting, and standing. All free hand, no slings, bipods, rests or aids of any kind to support the shooter/rifle.


As said any caliber, any sights.

Cass

Should mention each detail is timed.

Peppa Cig

Would Most would be using .22LR for rifle?

Grizzly 45

50/50 mix on CF or .22 rifles.

Feisar

Definitely going to try a few comps when things open up again.

Grizzly said above but to elaborate a little its split.

There is a rimfire pistol and rifle category and a centrefire pistol and rifle section. We fire beside each other, but depending on what you use its put into the rimfire or C/F category.

There is also a different number of rounds used in both to keep everyone within the limits of their licenses. The rimfire pistol details are two mags of five rounds while the C/F pistol details use two mags of 6 rounds.

I rarely do the rimfire rifle but i believe, and someone correct me if i'm wrong, they're the same as the C/F as neither are above 6 rounds and 6 rounds does not make any rifle restricted. IOW it doesn't exclude those on unrestricted licenses for participating.

I use .38 spl lever action for CF and a 10/22 for RF. I always liked the course of fire and was lucky enough to win and get placed in a few of the comps.
But then again I 'WAS THE BEST SHOT THERE'

Grizzly 45

Still waiting a chance to give you a match on the "long comp" 360.;):D

Basically a rifle 360 match same round count and time just longer distances. Has kind of fallen out of fashion in recent times.

Do,it's great craic, and its a" run what ya brung" disipline.No need to get a load of fancy customised equipment. I've even shot it for the Hell of it with my Combo gun doing single shot .22WMR

As above - great 'shooting and sh*te talk' atmosphere.
It's demanding enough to make you want to do better, but you don't need to be training every week (or even every month) to be competitive.

Am I wrong or is there a category for SA CF?

Grizzly 45

There is indeed...:)

This is indeed good news. Must give it a try when things open back up. Haven't got to shoot a competition with it yet.
