Milsurp Target Competition and Shoot (2013)

A new addition this year is the .22 comp/shoot at 25/50 yds/mtr please see the bottom of this thread,


A world wide Milsurp Target competition/shoot, open to all Milsurps members, its not so much a competition but to see how each Milsurp rifle shoot.

There are many competitions we can't get to or would like to take part in but are sometimes the wrong date, place, time, also the categories may be not for our choice of milsurp, example being a WW1 Milsurp comp, its ok if you have a dated rifle but for someone who may be out that date range then it becomes a bit of a pain.



It’s a basic comp with minimum rules and it's based on KISS, ( keep it simple stupid)

Any Milsurp Rifle as issued or in line with the categories listed, common sense will tell you what one.

Any desired position prone, bench, (standing if it really floats your boat !)

Sling, or rest of any description, but as it’s a milsurp NO bipod unless it was issued with it.

The Distance is a 100 mtrs/ 100 yrds, as I would think most can get to a 100 mtr range, whatever corner of the world you are in.

The ammo is up to the individual, home made. Factory, jacketed, cast etc, its your rifle you decide.

Categories

1. Any action Milsurp as issued, with original iron sights. (as issued I mean as the rifle would have been, some of us may of changed wood or a barrel etc, but these must be original items, but the bedding of barrels is also allowed)

2. Same as above, but any iron sights.

3. Same as 1, but with scope, any scope permitted.

4. Open to any converted milsurp, either in Calibre, barrel, any sight, iron or scope and bipod, and this is also for any action, Martini etc…, Semi auto (if your lucky enough to have these in your part of the world) or any Milsurp variant.

5. Any Black powder (Milsurp) this includes any issued or volunteer rifle.

6. Any Military trainer (See bottom of this thread regarding for the .22 25/ 50 yds/mtr comp)

The target will be the PL7 or ISSF target cropped to fit on A4 paper which will enable us all to download and print it at home, or you may produce it to the dimensions as shown and you can put this on a backing target also as to increase the overall size etc for an aiming point. you can have 2ft x 2ft, target if you wish but the centre must be marked with the dimensions below.

Any colour disc or marker would be allowed, again its up to the shooter, If you want to make the target into a tin hat, colour it yellow, red etc, its up to you, as long as the dimensions are standard.

Additional aiming points may be used, to compensate the milsurp rifles that have the rear sight starting at 200, 300. mtrs/yrds etc.

How you manage to get 5 rounds on the target at a 100 mtrs/yrds away is up to you.




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



(Click PIC to Enlarge to FULL size)

Note: After you click on images to ENLARGE them, you may find they automatically size smaller in your browser's window making them smaller than actual size. The auto sizing is your browser's way of keeping images entirely within the screen size you have set. If this happens, you will see a small box in the bottom right hand corner of the pic with four arrows point outwards, or sometimes a small magnifying glass when you move your mouse over the pic itself. Click on either and the pic will EXPAND and open up to its normal size, so you should now be able to print it at full size. It may even print at full size for you from the smaller browser re-sized version, but try it yourself.

For those of you who want the full size target in PDF format ...

Post pic of the card on the thread,

5 shots per card,

2 cards a year per rifle, and can enter as many rifles in each category,

The results will be posted at the end of the year, again its up to you, when you want to shoot

If you are having a good day and want to shoot all cards in one day then no probs, if you want to take part in all six then no worries, all in all common sense and honesty are the two main factors, and of course its meant to be fun, its not about being better than the next man, its what you can do with your Milsurp rifle.

For anyone with a disability and feel they are up to it, but are unsure, then please contact me.

The initial idea was to allow us ( forum Members) from all walks of life to shoot in our own time, way, position with our favourite rifles and show what can be done with an old Milsurp, plus its free and no pressure.

If you looking for gold medals, being carried round in a chair, having free drinks, expect respect and want a book written about you then, I,m sorry to say but this is NOT for you.

If you have an old Enfield, Mauser, Nagant, Springfield, Ross, Schmidt, etc…… and can hit a barn door, the size of a an A4 bit of paper at 100 mtrs then have a go. if not why not try the .22 comp/shoot below 25yds/mtr or 50 yds/mtr

comp/shoot runs between Jan -Dec


Info regarding the .22 comp/shoot 25/50 yds/mtr


This comp was talked about last year, I had a good response so its based the same as the normal categories listed above, except for category 5 this in the .22 comp/shoot will be open to any comercial .22.

In the categories above for the 100 yds/mtr comp category 6 is the smallbore or Military trainers, for anyone shooting the .22, please state category 6 and the category that relates to that .22 rifle,

So it will state 6. and one of the categories below

1. Any action Milsurp as issued, with original iron sights. (as issued I mean as the rifle would have been, some of us may of changed wood or a barrel etc, but these must be original items, but the bedding of barrels is also allowed)

2. Same as above, but any iron sights.

3. Same as 1, but with scope, any scope permitted.

4. Open to any converted milsurp, bigger shorter barrel, any sight, iron or scope and bipod, and this is also for any action, Martini etc…, Semi auto (if your lucky enough to have these in your part of the world) or any Milsurp variant.

5. Any sighted comercial rifle. (this is also for any reprodution type Military.22 rifles available)




So for example, cat 6.2 would be .22 original with a PH site or similar, 6.3 scoped .22 etc....


Targets

The target used is the ISSF target used for air pistols at 10 meters, which should be readily available in most countries, if not the link should give you the correct size target


25 yds/mtr https://www.milsurps.com/attachment....9&d=1357933469


50yds/mtr https://www.milsurps.com/attachment....0&d=1357933470

All the same as the 100yds/mtr but a mini version, and I,m sure all the poorest of us can scrape up 5 rounds of .22

So good shooting and all the best for this year.
