300 yard E-Postal Competition- December 2021

[OmegaRed]

To help pass the slow winter months, I'm starting this thread posing a friendly competition for anyone that wants to participate.

Rules:

300 yards - shot in any style (benchrest, f-class, hunting rifle, etc.)
First shots of your range session (no warmup for the day)
6 total shots consisting of:

• 1 fouler/sighter cold bore, must be shown on target
• 5 shots to follow

Best 5 shot group. Distance of centerline of group to aiming point as a bonus.
To get more people involved, targets don't matter. Use an official target, draw two lines intersecting, whatever works.

Display your results in the following format to categorize results:
1. Rest, Bipod, etc
2. Gun and caliber
3. Scope specs
4. Measured 5 shot group
5. Centerline distance to POA

Winner gets the be the envy of Accurate Shooter - until next month. One entry per gun per month.

I think this is a neat idea. See this a lot in rimfire.

I do and will be shooting our groundhog match Saturday. Would be great side match.

 

[alibi]

If I usually shoot two guns in my match, may I have two entries?

 

[Enosiophobia]

The court will allow it.

Anything to get people out and shooting.

Same idea, e-postal. No need to mail in targets.

 

[Michaël T]

what to do with those that don't have 300 yard range?

Create a thread for 100 yards. Simple as that! Or build a 300 yard range. Either works, one is just easier.

Build a 300 yard range, great idea; however, I can't. But, we can create a thread for 100 yards!

Alright folks, let's get some target pics up. I'm going to try to shoot mine tomorrow if the weather cooperates.

I need to get something loaded, but it will probably be the week after Christmas before I can shoot. Hopefully I get some decent weather.
