Do a night shoot

You know Ian, I have thought about that but can't decide how to do it safely and make it worthwhile as it will be expensive if it is the same as here. It has to be advertised in the newspaper that night shooting is taking place, what a PITA. We would also have to take turn pulling targets as that is way past the 13 year old target pullers bedtime, as damn dark doesn't come till close to midnight. On what type of match to do I don't know. I thought a 600m shot on a Fig.11/59 with a glow stick around his neck, but that could lead to glowstick juice in the eyes for the target pullers. Any ideas
 
I thought about that too, however. PM Longshot and ask him how many of the 36 shooters helped him clean up the clays that were blown to bits and spread all over the butts in 06. Not to mention I anticipate hitting the 75 shooter mark this year, so if you do the math of 75 shooters will work out to 5.5 boxes of clays or 7 boxes with spares incase someone drops a box. If someone on the mainland were willing to pick up the clays and also modify the clay holders so the exploding clays don't take out more than one clay per shot and also organize the clean up I will put it in the match. I thought about falling plates also, I still have to look into the legal implications of a civvie organization doing it though
 
Cleaning up the broken clays was actually easy.The vast majority of the pieces fell into the target stand ditch.It was easy to sweep it up.The holders would need to be redone a little further apart so that multiple clays can't be broken at once AND so that if your wind dope is off you don't get an accidental hit on the clay 2 over from the one you were actually shooting at.
We shoot falling plates in Ottawa from 600m with a run down.We could do it from 500m with a run from the 6.I know that there isn't any rule against plates with .308.The concern was .556 at 200m.They figured ricochet was a problem.:jerkit:.
I know the BCRA wants a couple sets of plates and I might be able to provide them if I have enough good steel.That is for SR.I can't see sniper being a big deal from 500m.We could make 'em 1.5 minutes in size.That would be a challenge!

Did you just volunteer to organize the clays match?

Give me a couple of days to think about it and the cays match
 
How bout we do a night shoot lit by para flares....seriously. The range is probably already rated for them...be easy.

Butt crews could wear safety glasses re the glow stick thing and the glowstick could be a view inches below/above the bull and then hits would be less (more?) likely.

You could just put glow in the dark stickers on the targets. That would spare the Cylum Stick juice all over.

How about looking at a relay shot from your weak side. Something like a snap or timed shoot. (Put on a little time pressure while working your rifle with your weak side).

Last year we had the wall simulating shooting under a car. Use that wall as a baracade and shoot weak side from cover.

Nope, No flares. I don't need an "Accidental fire"

I am looking at doing an optional stage where we will shoot two night matches on the Saturday night. I was thinking of falling plates, and maybe a 11/59 target at 600m with illumination of the non flammable kind. We would also have to run it where the relays will take turns in the butts as the kiddies are sleeping. we would have to have all of this done by 2400.
 
I want to do this event next year. I haven't in the past and am rather new to long distance shooting, is there a link to the rules for the match? And are there any links on the BCRA page (or anywhere) that go into what's involved for the newb who's never been out to a match before? And lastly how do I sign up for the match?

Thanks!
 
Our website is bcrifle.org, I am working on setting it up so our discipline has a link with the rules, entryforms, pictures of past matches and how to get involved etc. I need a bit more time to get it done though. I will be releasing the rulebook and course of fire for 2008 in January. I will post here on the day I am releasing it and people can PM me with their email address and I will send it out to them. If you have any questions just PM me and I will do my best to answer them.
 
Hi again,

Does the spotter also shoot in each match, like when it says "10 rounds per team member"? Or is the 3 gun the only one where the spotter shoots?

Spotter shoots too. Both members take turns as shooter or spotter, but their scores are added together for the final totals.
 
Both competitors of the team take turns as the shooter. When you shoot we split the shooters into relays. For example, say we have 60 shooters(30 teams). We will use 15 targets and run 4 relays. You will be on relay 1 as the shooter and your partner will be the spotter. On relay 2 the roles will be reversed. Relay 3 and 4 will be the next team in line on your target.
