We will be running a slightly different format this year. Each shooter will get to shoot two 10-shot relays for points. The top eight shooters will then be in a eight-man single elimination bracket to determine the winner. Cash payout to the top three shooters if we have enough entries. Each relay you will have 3 minutes to finish 10 shots. The bracket will be shot the same as last time. Scoring , 8 inch Target one point, 5 inch Target two points, 3-in Target three points. Match fee $40 date Saturday March 18th 8:30 a.m. don't be late. We will still be shooting Cold bore first thing in the morning as a $10 side pot. Front bipod and rear sandbags used for Shooting . Shooter May shoot from the bench or prone their choice . 30 caliber and smaller . Please let me know if you are wanting to participate.
Come prepared to shoot 500 yards. If you send a round down range and do not at least hit the berm which is 6 ft tall and 30 yards wide you will be disqualified from the match. Also the bolt to your rifle must be removed from it at all times except when you are ready to shoot your relay.
Love Senior.

Wouldn’t that keep shooters with thinner barrels away? We’ve had to wait for a barrel to cool before. How about 4, 5 shot relays or even 7,7,6? With past levels of participation we really don’t need to keep people away.

This program doubles the amount of shots I get to take! Looks like I need to call S&S and do something with all these parts.

With past levels of participation we really don’t need to keep people away. Why would we keep things the same since we had lack of participation. Now a shooter is guaranteed to get 20 shots. Before we waited for a barrel to cool when the guy he was shooting against had a cool barrel we wanted it to be fair. Now everybody will be doing the same exact thing. If your barrel gets hot his will be too. It is impossible to make everything perfectly Fair without overly legislating the whole thing and telling you what you have to bring as for a gun. If you feel your barrel is too thin then put a bigger barrel on it . I do not recall seeing guns that had such tiny barrels it would be bothering them. I know you're six creedmoor can handle it you just need to know your weapon.

Still 20 shots.

Still 20 shots. If we start adding on too many relays then we will be out there until 4:00 in the afternoon shooting. This format was used in West Texas and they were finished up by 12:30 1:00 . In the summer of the mirage will already be rough by 12: 30. We go a couple hours longer than that and it would be brutal

I may try this and see how I like doing it. I have not done any real competition shooting to speak of. Not Fossil Point. Senior's Private Range in Valley View. He'll provide the address and details. Lots of good people and information sharing. No one is an outsider. We all help each other.

I like these rules much better. I always draw a ringer first round. Normally Tony. This would give me a much better chance of making it to the finals than going out first round just because I’m terrible at drawing opponents lol.

Hot barrels. Lol. In his prime, Schwarzenegger couldn't curl some of the barrels that show up at Senior's matches.
And count me in for March 18.

Much better format. Under the old format, you could be 11 rounds and out. This included shooting the cold bore. 10 rounds and a good spotter you could be dialed in for the match.

Question on having the bolt removed, can we use a flag instead? I as as I can't remove my bolt without removing my cheek pad and I'd rather not have to adjust it each time. Thoughts SR?

The reason for removing the bolt is while the competitors are getting their guns up on the line and set up we will be downrange painting. So I do not want any bolts in the gun while I'm down there painting. We are doing this to save time so the match does not take all day. This is the way the guys in West Texas are running their match now. I will have the same problem you do.
