The Rules -

The idea is to make it a varminting type postal competition

Rules - I suppose there has to be some guidelines!

All targets must be shot concurrantly (at the one time - no picking best targets and mix & matching)

Ranges - 100m rabbit, 200m cat, 300m fox

One rifle to be used at all distances - any caliber OK

Five shots at each target.
Positions - Offhand
Sitting
Standing with rest (can be tree,post etc)
Resting (can be bench, bonnet, quad handlebars, 4WD window rest)
Prone using - bipods, backpack, jumper or anything else normally carried in the field.

The how to -

Anyone and everyone that wants to have a crack at this fun shooting comp is welcome.

1. Register your intentions on this new thread "AV Field Shooting Competion"
2. Send me a pm with your mailing address
3. I will photocopy and send you - one each - rabbit, cat, and fox target
I will include my return address.
4. Get your gun and have a shot/s
You will have one month to complete the shoot.
5. Send results back to me with a few extra stamps to cover my postage.

I'm trying to keep the process as simple as possible for you guys as well as me.

Stewie I cant shoot offhand so I rarely do. I'm not the most competetive shooter but dont fancy entering when I KNOW I have no chance.

There, does that sound like a good whinge?

FFS I better get you to send me a target, just made myself sick.

C'mon you other girls

28 days to go - get the targets while they're hot!
Remember it's open to all Ausvarmint crew and it's just for fun, so don't be shy!

Thomo pm sent.

My offhand shots with the heavy barrel 22/250 will be a bit like that too I reckon.

Stewie,

This sounds like it will be a heap of fun.

Sounds like a job for the 6mm 284 and the new Night force.
