Milsurp Target Competition and Shoot (2011)

[xa-coupe]

I tried this out with my Swede M38 today and whilst I got a great group ... it wasn't actually on the scoring area at all !!! Ah well, next time.

[Entry Level]

Target #1 is with scope and target #2 is without scope. I included pictures of the rifle. The ammunition. S&B cases, 43 grains Reloader 15 and 180 Sierra FB Spitzer I did staple target 2 upside down but it shouldn't matter. I now have to read the front sight adjustment notes since I held off slightly to get on target.

Just a quick thanks to all who have taken part and shown an interest, think we have had about 1800+ viewing so far, so not too bad, also for anyone who thought I may of gone AWOL, I am trying to sort a few problems out at home, so dont get any forum time at present (when I,m home) am at work now so catching up with some posts on this and the other forums etc, am in the finishing stages of getting some tables done so these should be up soon.
For anyone who has not taken part yet please do so and tell your friends and other Milsurp owners, remember its more of a fun shoot than competition and also to show what can be done with an old Milsurp.

It may be a little late, but I will ask anyway! Is the (4 Card per year per category) rule applied to EACH PERSON or EACH WEAPON?
In other words I have 3 milsup rifles. Can I submit 4 cards per category for EACH rifle, or ONLY the 4 best from all rifles by me, for each category?
Just wondering, Thanks.

[Patrick Chadwick]

I have the same dilemma as fn111557: If I can only submit one card per category, then, like (I guess) a lot of people, I am going to take the best rifle in that category. If, on the other hand, one can submit one card per rifle for more than one rifle in the same category, then we would be encouraged to exercise the ones that, quite frankly, are interesting but not competition winners.

fn111557 And Patrick,

Its for each rifle and four cards per rifle, you can enter as many rifles as you wish for each category.

Now I'm confused! I thought it was 4 cards per category per year.

[bigduke6]

Your not the only one, Plus my mistake will edit the previous post,

Its 4 cards per category per rifle, if you have 10 Enfields and you want to shoot all 10 then its 40 cards, but its the same rifle for the four cards. you can enter the same category as many times as you want with each individual rifle.

I thought that was what you intended. Now I can go ahead and practice with my NEW M1 carbine ( I.B.M. w/ AO stamp ).
Thanks!

P.S. Now I have to make up a LOT MORE of those targets. Time to buy more ink cartriges. Anyone have an Epson Styles Ink Jet printer that wants to trade HP ink carts with me. My Epson died after I bought a bulk purchase of ink carts, and my wife bought a HP to replace it. Now I have a bunch of Epson ink and no HP ink!

Fred,

The sizes are on the first page to save ink you can use a compass for the outline and make your own, etc the size is a standard target so perhaps cheaper to buy rather than use your ink, or go to a printers.
