September E-postal Match…

It is our Month to shine. This month’s it’s The Sentinel’s turn to host Mr. Completely’s E-postal match. We have several thousand members in VCDL and about twice as many who get the e-mail alerts. I’m hoping for a couple of hundred entries from…

Could we get a clarification of “Shooting position for all classes is offhand standing, unsupported, one or two hands allowed.”?

In particular, what’s your definition of “unsupported”? Does that mean no supports of any kind, such as something to lean against, or just no support for the gun and/or hands/arms?

Also, since this is a sort of simulation of silhouette shooting, are we required to follow the IHMSA rule on offhand standing positions:
“4. No part of either arm, from the shoulder to the wrist, is allowed to come into contact with any other part of the competitor’s anatomy, or be artificially supported in any way.”?

I’m going to have another try at this and don’t want to unnecessarily handicap myself, but I also don’t want to do anything that would provide me with an unfair advantage. I know, it’s all just for fun and all, but it would be best if it were a fair contest for all involved.

Another thought crossed my mind.

If you shoot a Ruger convertible with two different cylinders will it count as two guns?

Thanks

Unfortunately my range is an outdoor range. Clark Rifles I'll talk to the guys there and see what I can do...

Can you shoot rimfire rifle indoors? If so, just shoot it at 17 yards. Otherwise, you’re probably stuck doing it at 25, which is going to be a bitch.

My range has fixed target stands at 25, 50, 75 and 100 yards on the upper rifle range and the pistol range maxs out at 15 – 17 yards. I want to shoot this match, but I am not sure how to proceed.

“Don’t get discouraged with what you think a low score”

Tell me about it.. I shot several targets today.

Class 1 (.22 Iron Sights, 11 yds*)
1 target scored 2
3 targets scored 3
2 targets scored 4

Class III (Centerfire, Iron sights, 11 yds)
1 target scored 2
1 target scored 4
1 target scored 7. 3 were glancing blows that would be a miss in class 1 and possibly only spun a target in a real match.

Class VI (Rimfire rifle, optic sight, ~50 ft)
1 target scored 2
1 target scored 3
1 target scored 4

Geez I suck… but I’, gonna print more targets and try again next week.

* 11 yds is Minimum range distance

I thing that the bill from piecing your powered wrist bones back together might be higher than the ammo from shooting .454 Casull in the Masochist class.

Anyone who can afford to shoot .454 Casulls with the price of ammo these days is welcome to try :)

The “masochist class” would be a good place to shoot your 454 Casulls, etc !!!!

Heh… I had a feeling…

Checking the match schedule at Mr C’s, I noticed SIH was up next. “Bet it’s a silhouette match” was my first thought.

Holy crap are those targets ever small. I may have better luck at 25 shooting a shotgun with 00 buck and claiming that I was just shooting a .32.

Wow.
