All shots, from whatever shooting position must be made with the competitor wholly behind the firing line but able to touch it. Basically the shooter should be behind the line but the part of the gun not being held by the shooter can protrude past the line. 4) All targets to be shot standing 5) Any sighting device may be used. 6) NO rests or steadying aids are allowed. 7) 14 shots total, 1 per target maximum. Up to 5 sighting/practice shots not on the clock using the Green Dot 8) 15 minutes total time (take whatever amount of time for each shot you like, but at 15 minutes-stop!). 9) Scoring is 10 for Red, 5 for a White surround. Only one hit per target counts. Maximum point count is 150. 10) Entries need to be scanned or photographed and posted. Please list gun, pellet, sighting device and total time expended. 11) You can enter using both a pistol and a rifle as separate entries, only one entry for each, but all rules must be followed. 12) Score your own target. Winner and Runner-Up will be verified by board officials. 13) An honourable contest for sport- to lie or cheat, is the only real loser. Please keep it above-board! 14) Each competition runs from Monday to Sunday. Your entry must be posted in the forum no later than 23:00 on the last day. 15) These rules are for this week's shooting competition and may change for others 16) Please state whether you are using a pistol or rifle 17) The Green dot is 12mm dia.

A couple of questions - for scoring, does it count if the pellet just touches the scoring zone or does it have to be entirely in the zone, or maybe centre of pellet in the zone? And the other question is about rule 11. I was just wondering if it was worth relaxing the "only one entry" part to encourage people to post early in the month, knowing that they can always post a better score later on? Or maybe to show their results with different guns even though only the highest score counts overall?   Posted: Thu May 02, 2013 11:25 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND EverHopeful wrote: Hi Al, Thanks for your persistence in posting these challenges - I know it can seem a bit thankless when there isn't much response.

Hi The scoring for marking purposes is that if it is just touching the line then it is counted, as for multiple entries a few years ago we allowed that and it made it very complicated sorting who had done what. I think people will shoot when there is more money about, and they can afford to change guns more often.

Still shaky like I said earlier today when shooting the April target, but what the heck, I can't resist a challenge. Shot cold (didn't read the bit about sighting on the green dot until just now) and started with the biggest dots, working my way down to the smallest last. _________________ Gerard Ivan Samija http://www.luthier.ca/   Posted: Thu May 02, 2013 7:28 pm EverHopeful Member Joined: 30 Apr 2013 Posts: 21 OK, I'm in. I was a lot slower at 13 minutes, but some of that was messing around with the sights after the first few shots seemed to be trending right. Pistol Crosman 2240/177 Red dot sight Crosman super match 130/150 Slightly amusing footnote - a red dot sight isn't the best choice against a red target. I switched over to green dot halfway through, even though I don't normally like the green, and it seemed to help.   Posted: Thu May 02, 2013 8:07 pm Gerard Member Joined: 02 May 2013 Posts: 26 Location: Vancouver, BC, Canada Nice shooting! And yeah, that is funny about the red dot. You'd be about as helpless with a red laser for aiming. Reminds me of some old SF short story read long ago, where someone used coloured armour to defend against laser weapons. _________________ Gerard Ivan Samija http://www.luthier.ca/   Posted: Mon May 13, 2013 8:42 am vitalymezh Member Joined: 12 Oct 2010 Posts: 64 Location: Montreal Pistol: Crosman 2300S 2x20 pistol scope RWS 0.177 R10 Match 6 min 24 sec Score: 135 / 150 [/img] _________________ FWB-80 Crosman 2300S (mod) HW-97k HW-30s HW-35e Crosman 70 Slavia 620, 634   Posted: Mon May 13, 2013 5:31 pm EverHopeful Member Joined: 30 Apr 2013 Posts: 21 Nice job Vitaly.
