THIS IS A FORTNIGHTLY TARGET, SHOOT ANY TIME IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS

EVERYONE WELLCOME

Target to download and print: Fortnight 109; Apr 5 > Apr 18 /2010



1)Print to full-size on an A4 or 8.5"x11" sheet of paper.
2) Shooting distance is 5m/16.4ft for pistols.
3) Shooting distance is 10m/32.8ft for rifles.
3a) The rules for shooting 5m or 10 m are that the distance from the target to the firing line should be 10m for rifle and 5m for pistol.
All shots, from whatever shooting position must be made with the competitor wholly behind the firing line but able to touch it.
Basically the shooter should be behind the line but the part of the gun not being held by the shooter can protrude past the line.
4) All targets to be shot standing
5) Any sighting device may be used.
6) NO rests or steadying aids are allowed.
7) 14 shots total, 1 at each Bull, Up to 5 sighting/practice shots not on the clock using the Green
8) 15 minutes total time (take whatever amount of time for each shot you like, but at 15 minutes-stop!).
9) Scoring is as marked on target. Only one hit per target counts. Maximum point count is 244
10) Entries need to be scanned or photographed and posted. Please list gun, pellet, sighting device and total time expended.
11) You can enter using both a pistol and a rifle as separate entries, only one entry for each, but all rules must be followed.
12) Score your own target. Winner and Runner-Up will be verified by board officials.
13) An honourable contest for sport- to lie or cheat, is the only real loser. Please keep it above-board!
14) Each competition runs for 2 weeks. Your entry must be posted in the forum no later than 23:00 GMT on the last Sunday.
15) These rules are for this week's shooting competition and may change for others

Please make sure that the blue border is visible on your entry, plus the green dot is 12mm diameter on A4 paper.

Al

Haven't shot in a while... at least not here. Looks like there is some serious competition.
And, it shows.... left the door way open here!
Printed out the target and posted it. Wondered if I could see anything from position....
Can't see the dots, (didn't think I would) but I ended up holding on the outside circle.
So, for me, it really didn't matter what the inside dot was for all 14 shots.
Aimed the same place every time.

Just clarifying for my info - slings count as steadying aids, correct? (Not going to shoot the target - haven't had time and rifle is still in the break-in period - just wanted to know.) TIA, Michael

Slings could be counted as a steadying aid, but I don't think anyone would mind on here. Just one thing don't use a sling to steady a Springer it just makes things worse.

A bit short on shooters this time, but good scores anyway.
