Hey Top. You all shooting the course prone, from a bench or off hand standing?

Two benches.

Where is this event held, and have you ever had anyone attempt it with an iron sights?

 

[Topstrap]

I'm in Eastern Ohio, St. Clairsville. We shoot peep sights all the time. I have a separate 4moa target on each rack just for the iron sight competitors. They shoot that target the same number of times that the scoped shooters have targets on their rack. Many of the targets on the regular racks are too small to be seen by most without optics.

I found a video of yours when I saw the targets I knew I could never finish half the course with irons. I have a couple older 22 rifles I would love to attempt this with. Thanks for the information.
