Ok guys, here's the match as I see it:
go here and download/print your targets:
http://10xshooters.com/BlackDeathChallenge/we’ll use the target on the far left of that page, the “main Targetâ€.
5 shots total, with a possible score of 50.
The distances will be:
10 yard pistol open sights/red dot 1X zero mag
20 yard long gun open sights/red dot 1X zero mag
40 yard long gun or pistol with scope
so three different matches.
Pistol definition: 14" or less barrel, not including muzzle brake. No buttstock, just grips, or a two hand pistol stock that DOES not have anything to rest against the shoulder. Open sights OR a 1X zero mag red dot.
The allowed shooting stances would be pretty much anything WITHOUT using a rest, vise, bags, picnic table, kids shoulder, or playground equipment. So offhand, sitting, prone, crouching, coughing, sneezing, sleeping, whatever, etc…..
NO RESTS, everyone got that? Yes, you CAN sit with the pistol and rest it in the crook of your opposite arm, but I would consider shooting a rifle while leaning up tight against a tree a little unfair:)
My plan, if it's ok with Gene is to run a match like this weekly. Then post our results to one thread somewhere here on the forum. Maybe I could just put up a thread every saturday morning and call it "match summary 10-14-06 thru 10-20-06", and everyone could just snap pics and post their results. At the end of the week, we declare a winner, he/she gloats and we all tell him/her what a great shot they are.
Who knows, if it all goes down good we could even get some prizes together, like a "6 Month high scorer" deal? I have many pairs of old smelly tennis shoes I'd be willing to donate, ....but only to a good cause:)
