Milsurp World Wide target Comp

[bigduke6]

I assume an Enforcer is not a 'milsurp' ?

Afraid not Alan, but I,ve got to word catagory 4 a bit better, ( possibly milsurp variant etc ) so should slot in here OK , I thought you would use your No4T ?

Bigduke, great idea! I´m aboard!!!

Sounds like a great idea - I'm in.
I assume Cat. 4 would include sporterized milsurps.

Thank you for an excellent idea.

For many of us, opportunities for competition with old service rifles are rare and expensive - because of travel costs. And you can usually only enter with one rifle, thus leaving others unused at home. I therefore propose that multiple entries should be permitted, in order to "activate" more old rifles.

This proposal will encourage more "armchair shooters" - of which I am temporarily one - to actually get our rifles out of the gun cabinets and do some serious target shooting with them. And having lost the 2011 season because of my shoulder, it would be fun to be able to participate in something.

I don't know what the PL7 target looks like. The target we are familar with over here is the internationally used ISSF pistol target with a 25 cm black, 5 cm "10" and 2.5 cm "10x". Could we Europeans please have some dimensions and a link to a downloadable copy of the PL7?

My contributions to the forums have always been focussed on getting the old bangers in action again. This proposal is just the thing to encourage that!

Further proposal:

A section for training rifles - so that my No. 8s and my baby French trainer in .22 short can finally participate in some kind of competition! If you look at competition activities, you will find that trainers are left out in the cold - not competitive against modern small-bore target rifles, and excluded from full-bore competitions. I think that a great many of us possess one or more trainers that could do with some competitive exercise!

And I know several shooters who have had to give up full-bore shooting because of physical frailty - often neck or shoulder problems. The lack of opportunity for competing with a trainer forces them into the position of "armchair shooters". Give them a chance to get off the sidelines!

OK, now I'm a bit wiser.

The target I was referring to (ISSF pistol) is apparently that which you know as the PL8 - i.e. the 26x26 cm replaceable center section of the PL7. So whatever you call it, we're talking about the same size of black! These are indeed easy to trim to A4 size.

Patrick,

Cat 6, will be military trainers,(my mistake leaving these out) will change draft ASAP, again the draft was a basic outline it was only to test the water, think Badger(Doug) will set up another forum with all details etc once we are ready , plus a link to download the target, its up to the individual what they do with it as long as the dimensions stay the same. think once its in full swing it should go well.

When to start? I have a not so bad target today with my LE.

If the target measures up to the one in the pic then by all means keep it untill were up and running.
Am just sending this target to Badger and then see were we go from there.

The size is as follows V bull = 25mm
10 ring = 50mm
9 ring = 100mm
8 ring = 150mm
7 ring = 200mm
6 ring = 250mm
5 ring = 300mm

Hi bigduke,

i´ll keep it. It is a ISSF target that fits to the dimensions.
