Streeker59 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Hi guys.. Sunday morning was looking gloomy as Bluebell picked me up and we set off down to Bisley & to battle.. It was raining on arrival but as the shooters gathered the clouds parted and the game was on.. A light breeze was all there was to contend with as we looked on downrange Bisley's Short Siberia 200 yarder, sizing up the target.. One by one competitors got down on the firing point and set about the course of fire. 5 rounds in 3 mins prone supported. 2 rounds in 15 secs repeated 3 times, prone unsupported. 5 rounds in 1 min sitting supported. 5 rounds in 1 min kneeling supported. The target, from the British deer society incorporated a 6" broken circle in the "boiler room". The circle can't be seen at 200 yards even with the most powerful of scopes so it was imperative that one picked ones aim point carefully and stuck to it. The scoring was simple. 1 point for a hit in the circle & a big fat zero for a shot outside. Max points 21.. The first two stages weren't so bad but unless you're used to shooting off sticks or a bipod sitting and kneeling, it's surprising just how much shake is evident when looking through the scope.. Bluebell did well with my T3 but timed out on one or two stages, costing her vital points. Nevertheless she posted a creditable score and placed an overall third.. Well done Jan.... Yours truly kept his cool and won the day 5 points clear of the second placed shooter to take home the trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Nice write up Grant and congratulations. Looks like a good fun competition, based on the 100 stalkers challenge? In the forth photo down, I bet the guy on the left was miffed off at leaving his scope at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streeker59 Posted April 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Hi Ian.. I believe the comp is based roughly on the stalkers challenge yes. The guy on the left was shooting on another target though we did once have someone shoot the comp with a No4 Enfield & open sights. He scored fairly well considering he didn't have a reference point to aim at but then that's the whole point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
