Once Christmas and New Year's gets out of the way, I will be starting up the internet matches again this year. Fatnhappy has supplyed me with a large amount of load info sheets, to be used in ammo boxes, a la Shuz. These will be sent to each competitor, who sends along an SASE with his targets.

I've not set the matches yet, and would like a little imput. I've recieved one request for lever action matches so far, and am fully open to suggestions from you guys. Whatcha want this year?

Let me know what you want to shoot this winter, and I'll get them lined out, and on the trail.

All rules and specifications wil be posted on the board, hopefully around mid January. Then we can get to shooting.

For newcomers, this is come one, come all, regardless of experience. This is a postal match, and results will be posted at the end of each shooting period, or as my time allows to score the targets. The point of the match, is to get us some trigger time in the winter months, and to see what loads are working well for others. No real prizes, darn little glory, just some fun, and outrageous excuses from some entrants!

Sounds like fun. Off hand? Peestol? Scope? Iron sights? OLD guns ?

Heck I'll shoot anything, so will my children.

Just brainstorming here:

Leverguns firing rifle cartridges
Leverguns firing pistol cartidges
(scoped or unscoped)

Milsurps, maybe break it down by types or calibers.
(maybe include Sporterized milsurps with original sights)

Scoped & unscoped factory hunting rifles

Single shot cartridge rifles

Smokepoles - traditional of course
Inlines

Single shot hunting handguns

Revolvers

Semi Auto handguns

The combinations are almost endless. Could be a lot on fun!

In my particular mind frame, after shooting almost a lifetime at paper, I don't want to do it anymore. Purely psycho, if you will. Today, of all days lately, was a nice one here in Fort Smith. I couldn't resist taking out that light weight Ruger 44 lever gun, and proceeded to outshoot myself many times over. Too bad we can't use movie cameras because you guys would have been amazed as well. 60-80 yard shots were almost all PERFECT. Maybe 5 misses out of 40 shots. Even parcels of clay pidgons were completely blasted at 80 yards. My best day in 2 years with a gun. To put iceing on the cake, these were full house loads with 250 LFNs, and to top that off, I probably have not shot over 200 rounds in 2 years. Just been under the weather far to long. ... felix

Waksupi, Groups OK, but some offhand too. I believe that somewhere in the Old Testament there is a verse that says, "rise up and smite thy target." What else could it be but an endorsement of offhand shooting? Also,
separate scopes from irons.

Waksupi,
I am thinking

A 50yd lever action iron sight class,
a 100yd military iron sight class,
factory rifle scope class,
a factory rifle iron sight class,
and a 22 center fire class,
or in other words EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will set the rules, the matches, and the time periods in which each will be shot. They may all run concurrently, to make the mailing of multiple targets easier. Then, all targets will be mailed to me for scoring, after which the results will be posted.

I think we can find someone to print them for cheap. ;) The distribution is the tricky part.
It might just be far easier to post a .pdf and let everyone go to a kinkos instead of printing them at home. If that's a problem for someone I could square them away on an individual basis.

OK, you guys are concerned about targets. I'll tell you what we are going to do this year. You will be using your favorite target, that you generally shoot. You can staple it on the back stop, and put a sheet of printer paper behind it. It will make it easier to score from plain white paper on my end. That way, you just need some printer paper, and can shoot everthing with your one favorite target for a face. How do you like those beans?

Well, I'm getting some none to subtle prodding to get some shooting matches going, so I guess we'll get this season's matches launched. I'm leaving this attached to the original post, as there were questions asked, and answered, that may help people get rolling on this.

You don't pay no stinkin' money, but you still takes your chances. This is a fun shoot, and your honesty is accepted as a given. Remember, bribes will be cheerfully accepted, as in the past. All excuses gleefully ignored, ridiculed, guffawed, and snickered at.

I believe I will set most matches at fifty yards this year, as some have range limitations, but will also throw in a couple hundred yard matches.

We're going to start off with military surplus rifles, original configuration, as issued. Fifty yards off hand, and fifty yards bench. Ten shots each. Ends February 1.

Next, a lever action match this year. This will be fired at 50 yards, OFFHAND, ten shot group. Ends February 15.

Sporterized milsurps, 100 yards, benchrest. Ends March 1.

Scoped and aperture sight rifles, .30 and over, 50 yards offhand. Ends March 15.

Sub-.30 cal, 100 yards bench. Ends March 15.

Factory rifle, iron sights, fifty yard offhand. Ends March 30.

BPCR, 100 yards, X sticks. Ends April 1

Any iron sight pistol, 25 yards offhand. Ends April 15

Any scoped pistol, 100 yards bench. Ends May 1

Use whatever target you prefer, as this will be measured center to center, so the guys with fat bullets won't have an advantage on any match we shoot.

All matches can be shot with as many targets as you wish, and submit your best.

All entries must have information on firearm, sights, bullet, powder charge, lube, chrony info, if you have it. This helps us all build a data base for loads.

Oh, did I mention, CAST BULLETS ONLY in all matches!

If you wish to shoot more than one match in the given period, or if you want to shoot them all at once, you can submit targets for more than one match at a time. The dates are just cut-offs, so I can herd the scores together in a hopefully timely manner.

Overseas entrants, email me at waksupi@aboutmontana.net for scoring instructions. All others will only be accepted as postal entries, sent to

Ric Carter
305 Cramer Creek Road
Somers, Montana 59932

If the Canadian shooters want to have one person to send your targets to in-country, and then one person to forward the package to save postage, that's fine, or I may accept email entrys from you.

If you have shooting friends that aren't members of this board, but still shoot cast, they are also welcome to submit targets.

I will not be posting this on other boards this year, as most cast bullet aficianados have made this thier home, and should already know about it from this post.

I did consider just having you post your targets here, but was afraid we would burn up too much bandwidth. If I hear differently from Ken and Willie, this may go into effect. If I get a go-ahead, I will start a new topic for results posting.

All entrants wishing to recieve some of Fatnhappy's cast bullet load data sheets, please enclose a stamped, self addressed envelope. These are a self adhesive tag that fits nicely in the top of your cartridge boxes.

I'm sure I've missed something, so if you have any questions, let 'em fly!

Good luck, good shooting, and be safe.

Wouldn't the guys shooting "skinny" boolits have the advantage if the targets were measured outside spread?

Skinny boolits would help if measuring the outside spread. But big boolits would break more scoreing rings for the next higher point.

01-06-2006, 10:51 PM
I take the two widest apart holes. Then measure from the outside of one, to the inside of the other. This gives me the group size. So, no matter what size your bullet is, the group size measurement is the same.

off hand ? do you mean standing up ,squating ,kneeling or prone ? im assuming you mean standing .

Rick what brand O'barly pop do you fancy ? if i give you to much isn't that self destuctive ? I.E my 10 shot one hole group would look bout 3 or for time bigger than it really is .
do targets with powder burns on them disquilfy ?

01-07-2006, 02:01 AM
Goldurn it Kid, offhand means off your hind legs, like it was intended.
Now, if you want to improve your groups scoring, may I suggest a good single malt scotch? I bet that would drop considerable from your group!

And I don't mean the scotch for you, it should got to the range master (ME!)

Concur. Ten shots pretty much takes "lucky group" out of the picture. On the downside, offhand does not play to my strengths. Hope I can put together something so as not to embarrass myself...

IMHO, should be standard for loads in anything.
Have you noticed how the groups in the gun rags have gotten smaller in the past 15+ years, 3 shot groups will do that. Hmmmmmm, maybe folks are shooting better now, rather than 5-10 shots to hit said target they can do it in three?

I am going to shoot my mouth off a bit about something that has been bothering me since last year this time. Last year we had about 700 members at the time of Waksupies postal match. We had about 7 people participate or about a 1% participation rate, just 1%. I was realy disapointed by that.
This year we have what like over 1200 or so. We all come here to talk mostly about shooting related topicks as a group but we cant seem to participate with a realy simple match as a group, WHY?
ITS LOTS OF FUN, its not about winning or loosing its about shairing, its about learning, its about seeing how others are doing things.
Just treat it like any other match, shoot a few practice rounds then shoot your score target. What ever you shoot for the day is it just like any other match, then send it in.
Nobody cares if its not great, and Ill bet there are not many great shooters here, accept the ones that often tell us they are but then dont participate so as to not embarras those less skilled shooters.
This could realy be a great learning event for everyone and the envy of every other shooting forum all it takes is participation.
I had so much fun the one time I got to shoot at the Quiggley match once I got over being worried how I did and just let it go and just had fun. There were 600 shooters there and I learned alot and made many friends. I want to keep having fun like that but just cant afford to travel any more so this is the way.
We are so lucky to have this forum and to have a chance to participate in what could and should be a great event so lets take advantage of it. Lets make this truely the best shooting place to be.
BTW dont look for me on the winners list, I have seen my targets. It dont matter I am having fun.

Retiring next month from suburban Seattle to my home place about 45 mi SE of Redding California. Our gun club there shoots to 1000 yds. There are very few places to shoot around Seattle anymore. Once I get settled I will shoot the upcomming match.

waksupi I got hair on my face too. You gonna be in Winnemucca? We can shoot some there. I only shoot rifles. I will bring a few and lots of ammo. I have to get new loads for them after being too long in the city.

That means under .30. There is a concurrent match in the same time period, of .30 and over. Shoot the target, send it to me, and I'll get it in the proper catagory.

Well for you 50-110 fans there's a pistol cartridge that duplicates it none the less out of a 1911 platform. Yup. So company is marketing a 1911 with a 50 calilber barrel. The round looks just like a 45 acp except fatter, same length, but has a rebated rim for fitting the breechface. It fires 200 some gr up to almost 400 gr bullet to just about the same levels as the old 50-110. At least that is what the compared it too. It's in the latest Shooting Times.

Everyone keep in mind, the Milsurp match ends Wednesday, so get 'em shot, and on the way.

Ric,

In the mailbox with the flag up.

I forgot to use the plain white backer, but the targets are 8.5x11. Almost didn't send them cause they surely aren't winners, but just cause you don't win is no reason not to play. Still waiting for my first half inch group, but I hear tell they do exist! Now to get started practicing with levers. Hm....45-70, 348, 7-30, 250...choices, choices.

For the levergun match is there a break up between iron, scope, and aperture? Or is it run what ya brung?

I shot 3 groups with the scope today; them things are great from the bench, but stand up and the earth moves! I guess 4X means that my wobble is multiplied 4X. Good thing I forgot the ammo I wanted to test; had to pull a bag of 38's out of the bottom of the range bag to shoot the match. As soon as I get back to the range to finish my ammo testing, I'm going to pull the scope and shoot some groups with aperture and irons. Just how many levergun targets should I send? 1, 2, or 3?

Shot the .30W.C.F. '94 Winchester carbine that my father purchased back in the late 30's with a "Short Range" load that it likes (125 gr.cast 6/4756). I think of my dad everytime I use this rifle (He passed into eternal life back in 1999. )

Dropped the target in the mail on my way to work. Now have to get ready for the next match ........ at least I have another month to procrastinate.

Thank you, Waksupi for running the postal matches.

Sincerely,

Ric, I'll be sending my target tomorrow. I'm sure Starmetal's one ragged hole target will beat mine. I just don't have boolits big enough to make one ragged hole. Mebe if I was a shootin' a 20mm there'd only be one hole! Regards, Woody

I am trying to get in on the sporterised mil surp 100yd bench match. Will my rifle qualify? Its the clostest thing I have to a sporterised mil surp. Its a Rem #5 military roller thats been reshaped to the origonal sporter configuration and rebarreled to 38/55. Its been set up for a scope and here are some of my best efforts for today. Trying to get em done before the 1/3/06 dead line. Can I send one?

Go ahead and send them. As I have said before, the whole object of this shooting match, is to get people to go out, and burn powder!

I am using the same rifle in this match as my milsurp match just for the heck of it. I need to shoot.

I was asked about posting of shoot results. So, here is the reply I sent. Sorry I'm so slow, but have other things going on that must be dealt with.

Yep, there are entries, I just haven't had spare time to get everything scored from the matches coming in. I hope to have them all posted by the first of the year!

Have patience, guys. I'm slowly getting some of the targets scored. With any luck, I will have them all posted before Christmas. As is, I haven't had time to shoot most of them! So, my speed being commeasurate to the pay, it will get done!

Unscoped BR handgun is what I do the most of, but Bullseye is fun too.

100 yd BR for Varmint/Hunting rifles (under 10 lbs) would get me involved too...Cast boolit or otherwise.

Just my own druthers,

Looks like I left this as a sticky too long! The postal matches were last year, but I recieved an entry this week, from Uwe, in Frankfort, Germany.

His entry was in the lever action match. If I read it right, it was a Marlin 1894, original sights, .357 mag. Lee tumble lube 158 gr. SWC
Uwe will have to fill us in here, on the powder charge, as I can't decipher it.
Group size, 4 7/8".

I hearby declare Uwe the winner of the procrastinators class!

No, really, it was my fault for leaving this at the top on the competition page. Somewhere on this page, should be the results of all the matches. I don't find them right off, but they are good so people can see other loads for thier firearms.
