Hello All!
Well....between adjusting to life with two little kids and a work world that makes my head spin, I can't ever seem to get organized enough to go shoot service rifle or attend any of the 3gun or tactical rifles matches that happened this summer. How cr*ppy is that?!?!?!
Then watching all those folk with the various postal matches having all that fun, it dawned on me....why not try to organize the same thing something along the lines of a cross between service rifle and a tactical rifle match (my two favorite!)? How about an Online Battlerifle Match?
Here's the way it would work:
1. Go to the following directory http://www.eclecticworks.ca/targets and download the target (soldier_ak_8x14.pdf) by right mouse clicking and selecting "save target as".
2. Print the target off on a legal (8.5x14) sized piece of paper. The scoring zone should be approximately 3.4 inches wide.
3. At your own convenience and on the HONOR SYSTEM, go shoot the target according to the monthly match description. You can shoot each match three times if you like, or just once. Your best score will be what you submit.
4. Each target is to be shot with 20 rounds.
5. Target is to be shot from the position specified in the match description.
6. Take a photograph of your target and e-mail it to me. E-mail address is jason*REMOVE*"at"*REMOVE*eclecticworks.ca
7. Once a month I will score all the targets and compile scores which rank the standings. Scoring will be as follows: 1 point for rounds that fall within (even partially) the scoring zone, no points for rounds that don't. Maximum score for each round will be 20 + 1 bonus point.
8. Bonus point to be awarded if, when submitting target, you also include a photograph of you and your rifle.
9. Each month there will be a different match description. With August almost done, the first month will be September. League will run 6 months.
10. Final score will be the sum of the best 5 months (allowing one month of "no participation" for those who might not be able to find time one month or just simply shoot like cr*p one month).
11. Two classes of competition: one for .30 caliber battle rifles and one for everything else.
12. No dedicated bolt action sniper rigs allowed.
Once a month I will score all the targets and compile scores. If the match generates alot of interest, I will build a website to publish scores and monthly match information, address to be forthcoming shortly. Matches descriptions will try to borrow from both service rifle style competition and tactical rifle type stuff, match description to be posted the first week of the month. As the targets have to be able to be printed off a laser printer, maximum range will never exceed 100 yards. This will also allow for maximum participation as there are many who don't have access to longer ranges. There will be some stages at closer ranges. A wide variety of shooting positions will be dictated. Some physical activity may also be married with the shooting requirements.
September, 2007 Match description:
Target: 8.5x14 "Soldier with AK47"
Range: 100 yards.
Shooting Position: Sitting unsupported.
Maximum Number of rounds required: 20
Time limit: None
From the sitting unsupported position with target set up at 100 yards, fire 20 rounds for score.
And here's my first kick at the cat:
My Sept07 score: 14 + bonus point = 15
Good luck, and good shooting!
