Scoring A 25m Benchrest Target Using 0.177

[Ragle Jnr]

Hi Richard, if you are using NSRA cards, they are outward gauging, so the bigger diameter is more likely to cut the line and count down. This will apparently lower your score. David

The gauge you need is sold in the NSRA shop and is listed as the 0.22A. it has a slower taper than a 0.22 plug gauge so when pushed gently into the .177 shot hole it will centre itself properly to enable reading of the .22 oversize scoring ring when it touches the target.
The NSRA scoring course suggests the use of the plug gauge you have pictured with the wobbly spring on top can actually distort the score reading as light distorts when passing through the magnifying glass.

Many thanks Tone. I’d taken a look through those and it looked like a fun afternoon.

Is it an organisation anyone can join in order to enter postal competitions?

Yes mate, you can join no problem and do the postals when they start next year.

They are also talking about a world postal as none runs at the moment.

Thanks Tone, will look into it.

Just in case anyone really wants to know, the link I originally posted is just a magnifying glass for a 177 pellet hole. It doesn’t enlarge it to a 22 pellet hole. What I was actually looking for was the gauge linked to by Basharbob and martini.

Cheers all!
