Scoring A 25m Benchrest Target Using 0.177

[rmwesley]

This is what we use. Used a magnifying glass if needed. Push it in a .177 hole and gauge is the size of a .22

Thanks Basharbob, much appreciated.

I asked the same question elsewhere and pulled a blank so thank you for such as quick response.

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.
