    Buxted will put in 4 teams of three but what about reserves and do all three team members cards count/needed each month.

    reserves

    Hi Andy
    Reserves are allowed but they would need to establish an average which would need to be submitted with the round score cards


    There will be 3 shooters in each team and all 3 scores count

    Each round would consist of 20 shots and 1 round needs to be shot every 2 weeks. However there will be no first date for each round so a shooter can shoot well ahead if he wishes.
    I will issue each team a link to the rules but I have covered most already in an early post.

    Hi Andy
    As we are going along with the the UKBR22 rules regarding benchrests, then yes they are allowed

    I have never shot a rimfire using a bipod Is it better than a sandbag or does it affect the recoil and hence accuracy ?

    I normally use an air rifle (AA400) for benchrest but in this years Eley competition (Round 2)I tried a rimfire using just a flat hard front rest (NSRA Rules) The Anschutz 1407 rimfire went clean ex 400 which I was very pleased with.
    I tried the AA400 out of interest using just the hard flat front rest and dropped 10 points ex 400. So there is no doubt in my mind that rimfire even indoors has the edge but air rifle is more of a challenge and a lot of fun once you have found a compatable pellet.
    I also think that the air rifle can get nearer to rimfire scores using the better rests allowed by UKBR22 rules rather than with just a hard flat front rest that the NSRA allow (but I am not sure why)

    John if you look at UKBR22 scores some of the better air rifle ones are shot off a bipod. I shoot both air and rimfire(badly) off a normal rest.

    Although the coaxial one we are building is almost finished.

    Just tried it a few minutes ago down the range and it was fantastic. Just hope my shooting can be as smooth as it.

    Thanks for the attachment John will be ordering the targets soon, I take it the entry forms electronically and the money in the post for the entry fees will suffice.

    score card system

    All targets will be scored by the clubs nominated scorer and retained until 1 month after the competition is completed. This is so that any anomalies can be checked if necessary

    Because quite a number of club secretaries now have computer access, then I will send out a template/score card (in excel) that can be saved by the club and submitted after each round with the shooters scores.
    This will save a bit on postage and the need for sending me SAE's for results

    I will obviously send hard copies of the score cards/results to those clubs that prefer not to use e-mail

    Re scoring are we using a standard/same guage or will we just be accepting that any .22 plug will be acceptable?

    If we are saying all must use the same perhaps a link to a supplier of said guage would be helpful.
