Q & A on UKV Rifle Golf Competition at WMS (Date Changed to 26 Mar)

[brown dog]

I hope the main thread is clear; but happy to clarify any questions or doubts here.

[colin jalland]

Are the target's at known distances or will we have to range them ?

Colin,

 

A mix of known and/or 'laserable'.

Lasers permitted throughout -there'll be no mil-dot ranging required.

 

(If you haven't got a laser, I'm sure someone on the same detail will be happy to range targets for you).

[AHPP]

Target or land condition required on certificate? If land, what has the land been cleared for?

Matt,

 

UKD with no mildot'ing??? Dam!

Please check info on WMS link on UKV main page or contact WMS directly; his contact details are there too.

There's no UKD, lasers throughout.

Aaaaaagh!

 

Just been pointed out to me that the current date clashes with the IWA exhibition.

 

Thought I'd checked all the angles

 

Likely to re-schedule to 26 Mar to de-conflict.

 

I'll press pause until this is straightened out.

Apologies!

[Scotch_egg]

I just got the date cleared with my boss

Dave,

 

1000 apologies!

 

I'm the last to do the order - counter-order - disorder thing; and I'm spitting feathers at having overlooked the IWA. My fault, just wasn't on my radar.

 

I hope you can change it to the new date; I'll buy you a beer and mumble another apology

 

Just confirmed with WMS; date change to Sat 26 Mar is nailed-on.

[brown dog]

All,

 

1,000 Apologies; as in the preceding post I've had to shift the date two weeks to the right as it's just been pointed out to me that the original date clashes with the IWA exhibition.

 

Can't believe I'm having to fundamentally re-tweak within 24hrs of posting the original proposal. Thought I'd checked all the angles Entirely my fault, as the IWA wasn't on my radar.

 

The comp is now re-scheduled for Sat 26 Mar and this new date is pencilled for us by WMS.

I will have to sweet talk him in the morning. I've bought a bottle of port off his lad's business so that might help

[rabbit fingers]

Just curious IWA?

Matt,

 

I'm preying there is nothing planned for the 26th. But with my job you never know. I'll check in the morning. However my dad can make it on this date. So I have ask will me dad be ok using his single shot rifle?

[brown dog]

Dave,

 

Single shot rifles will be at a disadvantage as some stages will require multiple targets within a time limit.

Might challenge 'winning' but won't challenge 'enjoying'.

 

All,

 

Should also point out that:

 

not all shoots will be prone

not all shoots will be strong shoulder

and

there maybe a requirement to change positions between shots

(eg standing unsupported changing to kneeling supported changing to prone or variations thereof )

 

[rabbit fingers]

standing unsupported with a 16 pound rifle

better get the weights out.

[The_Dogge]

How many rounds will we need for this match?

 

Is the same gun to be used throughout?

Visualise a friendly clay shoot; aim is to have an enjoyable comp; "Run what you brung". If you want to use a different rifle for each stand; as long as it doesn't slow things down, have at
