Who would be interested in participating in an online SKS honor match?

Rules would be, best 5 round group, as many tries as you wish before the deadline, with any SKS rifle and any 7.62x39 ammunition, with stock open sights at 100 yards, benched is kosher, no "lead sled" or return to battery rests. This would function on the honor system.

I'd be open to a 200 yard and even 300 yard class, though I bet 200's the farthest anyone will wish to try due to facilities and all.

So, would we have any takers for best 5 round group at 100 yards, and potentially a 200 yard class, with opens sights by say, oh, Jan 1st?

OK WE HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE TO MAKE THIS INTERESTING (MORE THE MERRIER SO LET US KNOW YOU'RE IN! :) ), SO HERE'S THE FORMAL RULES:

-DEADLINE JAN 1ST

-SKS ONLY, ANY MODEL AS LONG AS IT'S AN SKS, MODIFIED'S FINE AS LONG AS IT RETAINS STOCK SIGHTS

-BEST 5 ROUND GROUP AT 100 YARDS, AS MANY TRIES BEFORE DEADLINE AS YOUR HEART DESIRES

-OPEN, STOCK IRON SIGHTS ONLY

-ANY 7.62X39 AMMUNITION YOUR HEART DESIRES

-BENCH RESTED OK, NO "LEAD SLED" TYPE RESTS OR RETURN TO BATTERY RESTS

-ANY TARGET OF YOUR CHOICE

-GIVE 200 YARDS A CRACK IF YOU HAVE IT AVAILABLE TOO FOR GIGGLES, BUT THIS WILL BE BASED AROUND THE 100 YARD SHOOT

-TAKE A PIC OF YOUR RANGE AND YOUR TARGET IF POSSIBLE, IT'S GOOD FOR CONFIRMATION AND IT'S NICE TO SEE THE RANGES ANYHOW, IF YOU'RE CAMERALESS IT'S ALL GOOD YOU CAN STILL PLAY

If the weather becomes half way decent I will send in one target for each of my SKSs. I can only get 100m distance.
Also, which target? USPALMA SR-1 200m reduced?

Cheers
 
I'm in!
But currently I will not be able to see the target downrange for the snow.
And our local range is limited to 200 yards.
 
Sounds interesting!! Now for my .2 cents. How about 10 round group?? I would think that we are shooting for group size that any paper target that you shoot well with would be adequate. Also Due to the holidays how about extending till the end of JAN???

Naw it'll be a five round group, the standard for accuracy debates. And new years still gives us all more than a month to get out and shoot, I'd rather this be short and sweet enough to be "quick and fun". There's always room for more matches later.

I don't see the need to defend the "honour" of the SKS, but it would be fun and I'm in.

Haha, no "Honor Match" refers to people being honest in the scores the submit and measuring groups themselves. :)
 
what about the Guys with scopes on their SKS's? Could there be a second competition for them? :D (I removed the Irons)
 
200yrds-scoped, 100 with irons and 25 til I get some glasses. What about entries with different SKS's or is that getting to be too much?

I'm willing to give it a go for the 100 yds original sights. I only need to find a buddy of mine who will lend me his digital camera for pics. I'm really retarded, I still buy those disposable things cause I hate fumbling with films or complicated electronics. Jeeze, it's a miracle that I'm actually typing :D
