It's almost August already...

Here we go again:

Make a note of these, they will be the guide for all future Fun Shoots'
SmallCal.

RFC Fun Shoot; Classes and Rules
This Fun Shoot is for any RF cartridge rifle, to include the following, .22 RF, .22 Mag. , .17 RF.

All targets in each class are shot at 25 yards.

The (old) rules for Class 1 expired 4-30-09 and have been deleted. (This update to C-1 made 7-16 09)

Note that we will use three different classes of rifles for this shoot and from now on and these class rules will apply for all future Fun Shoots. Make a note of them.

(NEW Rules for Class 1 Fun Shoot as of 7-16-`09 SPECIAL ADDENDUM to C1 irons and scoped shoot. PLEASE NOTE, that from this date (2-4-2019) on forward the ammo used in this class is limited in price to $4.00 per box for 50 rounds.

This Class 1 Fun Shoot is reserved for beginners and novice of any age.

Targets will be generous and fairly easy to learn on.

Class 1. Box Stock HUNTING/PLINKING rifles only, NO target rifles allowed. Allowed modifications will be limited to the addition of a scope with variable power settings and shortening of the butt stock for fit to smaller shooters. Scope power will be assigned at the time of the shoot. Usually not more than 9X. Iron sighted rifles will use original sights or replacements like the original. Any rest is allowed except Machine Rest.
These modifications to this Class 1 shoot are implemented to allow older beginners and novice shooters to join in the Fun Shoot without the heavy competition of shooting against target type rifles and highly skilled shooters. Those rifles and shooters will go to Class 2 from now on. If you have questions, PM me direct. SmallCal

PLEASE NOTE, that from this date (2-4-2019) on forward the ammo used in this class is limited in price to $4.00 per box for 50 rounds.

SmallCal

(Unchanged)
Class 2; Modified Hunting/Sporting Rifles. Allowed modifications will be limited to the addition of adjustable scopes with the power setting assigned at each shoot, adjustable receiver sights, globe front sights, trigger modifications/replacement to lighten weight of pull but NO low end limit but must be safe. Barrel replacement of any design that doesn`t make your rifle exceed the weight limit of 10.5 lb. total weight. Stock modifications or replacement stocks that resemble thumbhole or sporting stocks which have a convex forend profile and horizontal width no greater than 2 inches wide are allowed.
If your Modified Sporting Rifle exceeds any one or more of the above limits, it will be in the higher Class 3 group.

(Unchanged)
Class 3; All of those rifles that were/are designed for the strict purpose of Bench Rest Shooting with unlimited modifications and all of those rifles that exceed any limits in the Modified Hunting/Sporting Rifle class.
This class can be divided into two sub classes of those bench rifles with scopes (unlimited power) and those with iron sights (unlimited type). This sight division will allow all of the super race guns to be included here.

If you are unsure of the class you should be in, go to the next higher class and state that on your score/target postings.
I do know that there will be some rifles that are so close to fitting into more than one category that its hard to tell where they should go. If in question, go up a class.

Post score as shown here.

Thanks.

class 1

greetings,

here is my first attempt
dug out my old Ruger 10/22 - so old it has a walnut stock!
it was sighted in for CCI mini mag HP, so I stuck with that

score: 285, if I did it right
if it touched the line on the outside of the bear, it was 5 points - correct?







RFC Alias,_Merle_________, First name_Merle_________
Score w/ bonus_285_______, Class_1_______,
Scope_Simmons pro hunter 4 ~ 12X_____________, Iron sights,________
Rifle make,_Ruger 10/22_______, Ammo,_CCI mini mag HP________
Weather conditions_87 deg & humid - clear sky - no wind___________
Excuses_I learned that I can not focus this scope at 25 yds while at higher magnification - probably because it is a CF scope_

Good showing Merle and Welcome. I think you are correct on your scoring according to Stans rules of engagement. And yes if that is a center fire scope with no AO, they are usually set to be parallax free at 50-60 yards and not 25. POI can be a lot different than POA at 25. You can check parallax at 25 by supporting your rifle firmly while pointed at a target dot and just move your head up or down or left or right without touching rifle and see if the crosshairs move on the dot. They should be rock solid on the dot. The smaller the dot the better.

Good shooting Merle.. :)

Now dust off that 52 and see what you can do.

...in other news:

Just replaced the front sight on the BSA International, from Parker-Hale to an Anschutz Globe Front Sight (18mm).
I have a bunch of 18mm inserts, not so with the Parker-Hale...

I'll have to test it tomorrow, to see if a riser is necessary.

Ducks beware!

I finally made it out yesterday. Just in time for the cold (?) front to blow through. My Brn-22r with Ruger everything else managed to score a 350 with CCI SV. My CZ 455 Varmint out shot it with Norma Tac22 with a 360. Both guns are class 2. I hope that I could do better in more favorable conditions.

:Welcome: Loke...

Pictures would be great. That would let us know which target, scoped or iron sights.

Do stick around, we change the targets every month :)

Sorry about the confusion. I was shooting the scoped targets. Those dice are trickier than they look. I've been on RFC for a while now, mainly hanging out with the CZ crazies. This is my first try on the fun shoots. It won't be the last. Some day I might figure out the picture thing.

my first was a 455 Varmint with lottery wood. My second was a 452 American. Or maybe the 75B Omega. I lose track sometimes. My latest is the PCR. My next? Well, there is this 527 in 6.5 Grendel. And occasionally a 17 Hornet makes its way through the shop. They can be a bit addictive. Did I mention the 457 At-One?

Finally... !

Earlier I had mis-stated the class of the rifle (the BSA), with the heavy barrel it goes 11-12 pounds (at least).
It is a class 3. Shot a class 3 target so no harm, no foul.

September targets will be seen on Friday . :D

Fall is coming!

:F

Way to go, Lee :)

Both targets are as good as it gets...

We'll look for a bunch of good targets in Sept. from you!
