Awesome contest. I'll have some time to shoot after Christmas if the weather isn't too bad.
If not let me know, the match can be extended as necessary, if there are scheduling/weather conflicts.I'll have some time to shoot after Christmas if the weather isn't too bad.
Because people complained that the .17cals were too good to be grouped with the lowly .22cals. How do you suggest we organize it next month (preferably keeping as few of categories as possible)? Honestly I don't have enough trigger time behind any .17s (have played with several and just recently built a 10/17) to be a great judge of classes. I just want it to be as fair as possible, and keep everyone happy and shooting.Why is the 17 unlimited?
So what is the problem, back in my day we used to walk 10mi. in the snow, uphill both ways to get to the indoor range.We just had 16 inches of snow with 50 mph winds, and since no one plows the rural lane to the indoor range, prospects look dim.
Sounds like the local club needs to toughen up too...but we're here for ya'.Lots of great guys in my local club, but it's competition is shut down for the winter (despite what Mav might think of us) and my social life has taken a hit.
But how many .17s are there? I and one other shooter has one that I know of...that'll get boring real quick.Put the 17's in their own class then
Naw, you just punch holes where you don't see any, works fine as long as you don't miss.This target is VERY challenging, it is easy to lose track of where you are
Honestly I would classify it as "Unlimited" because it was built from the ground up as a target gun. Magnification is unlimited in either target class, but that does bring about a good point...what is "high magnification", I would say that anything over 10x is, but that is debatable. That is something that needs to be clarified in the next match.This is a target class rifle so I would class this as a limited, correct?
Yes they are, we are just discussing how to classify them in the match next month. They are currently classified as "Unlimited Target". Glad to have another .17cal shooter on board...I too shoot a 10/17 (you show me yours and I'll show you mine ). Welcome to the match.so 17's are not aloud?....i shoott a 10/17.....oh well i have to get the 22lr pump with open sights to play....
My bbl is E. R. Shaw (don't know who makes the barrels for E. A. Brown Co.), but the scope is a WW special 4-16x CenterPoint (which appears to be the same as yours).looks like we have the same taste in scope's and barrel's
Thanks...unless you really meant "sweat", in which case I may need to wipe it down. I like your folder, and had one on my 10/22 before the conversion, great for backpacking. I pulled mine off when I decided to make it into a target rig to get something that fit a little better (Fajen Legacy).[sweet] 10/17
