MPL 6 yard Postal Competition.

[Fat stig]

Looks like you'll have to count me out Bob, I've been banned from shooting in the house & this is England so one dry day per month to shoot outdoors can't be guaranteed. From what I've heard today there won't be a 6yrd at Rivi either so I'm out of options.
Good luck to all taking part.

You are not the only person to be bossed by SWMBO and is banned from playing with your toys at home.

Just bung your targets in one of the Red Rob bell targets you have at Rivvy - they hold these targets perfectly.

We will probably have some of the 6 yard competitors cards shot at RMTC on Thursday nights as well, so it is not a big problem to overcome - thats the reason for having the 6 yard series - its something that anyone can take part in without too much effort.

I hope to pick my '6 yard pack' up plus some spare practice targets ( Bob) tomorrow night (Tues). Boy, do I need the practice at 6 yards as Ive never shot that distance and those bulls look tiny!

We are trying to discourage 6 yard shooting up at Rivi as this will take up another already well used and in much demand lane (10m rifle, bell target, MPL, CCL, Scottish, plinkers etc etc etc.) I thought one of the main principals of the 6 yard was to cater for those non club members and those postal shooters who hadn't got 10m.

John (FAT STIG)? What are you? A man or a mouse? Be assertive. Give the Mrs your credit card and get some 6 yarding in while SWMBO is absent. ( Or nip round to Christines for a bang. )

Paypal incoming for the comp and some practice targets.

When do we need to tell you which pistols/pellets we'll be using?

Answers to your points in the order you made them (more or less).

6 yard entry packs - no problem.

Spare 6 yard targets - we got tons of em.

Not letting shooters use the Bell target to hold their 6 yard targets - tight git!

Yes - the aim is to cater for home shooters - but we are "all inclusive" and should make exceptions for bullied people that are not allowed to play at home.

Take some strong cheddar cheese back for Stiggy ( then let him use your bell targets to shoot his cards - don't tell the wife).

Right - thats got that sorted

[p.m.h]

Pistol, Pellets, etc should be included in the scores submission email.

Suggested format is :-

Name,
Pistol,
Pellets,
Score target 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Total score for round.

It is not a requirement to use the same pistol for each round, as long as the one used conforms to the rules.

Kind regards,

Using one lane to shoot and change 6 yard targets would take up, for safetys sake, two lanes. Seeing we have only 5 lanes this would not be acceptable.

It would be easier and cheaper to get some cheese.

I need a couple of rules clarified.

Do we score down or up if the pellet is between rings?

I've done one competition scoring down and one scoring up, I can't see which way we are going with this comp.

Also, how do we score a miss? Zero or minus 1?

And finally, do we need to shoot witnessed?

A link to the main MPL rules would be great (assuming not those in post #1), I have tried searching with no luck.

Cheers.

BTW - is shooting cheese an option? I've got some great Wookey Hole Cheddar handy.

[p.m.h]

All scoring is upward so a split (or touching) line scores the higher score.

A miss is not penalised, it just doesn't score, so gets recorded as a 0.

This competition is being run on the honour system, so targets do not need to be witnessed.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,



Phil
