There is a 25 yard target (75 ft indoor), but I just wanted to point out the big aiming black. Since you already considered it and decided not to worry about it, excellent. (and one target makes life easier) Now I just have to be able to feel my trigger finger. It’s a wee bit cold out there. Also, if you end up down here while the match is going on, the offer of the use of an Anschutz still stands.

Yeah… I plan on using a post insert for my rifle for this one. I figured I’d bring it in though, to give people who only have access to indoor ranges a chance. I thought about using an airgun 10 meter target, but figured it’ll still be difficult enough offhand I shouldn’t have too many perfect scores.

Thanks for running this.

I don’t know if I’ve got an insert big enough (or can open the iris up big enough) to see the edge of the black A23 at 25 yards. Hmmm… maybe a post will work better, I think I’ve got a couple of post inserts somewhere or other.

Hey, you could always get creative in mocking those of us who have to shoot in crap weather :)

This contest discriminates against those of us who live in Florida, where it is beautiful all year round :)

I’m still gonna break out my SKS which hasn’t seen any action in months.

I’m out for this one since I’m not an AK shooter. Bummer.

[...] UPDATE: I think it would be fun to offer a prize for best picture taken of a competitor shooting under winter conditions. See details at my blog here. [...]
