Re: Learnings from Rimfire Comp Thread
I agree with Joe. I use a managed, state run, range, and sometimes I can't even get 25 rounds down range before they call a cease fire. It depends on the people around me. I also agree that it gets old after 15 rounds.

shall we reduce the round count in the long range comps from 25 to 10?
just 2 thoughts of why i ask:
after the 15th shot, the last 10 seems to get "old"
with the addition of the lucky 7 targets, this will give a person the usual 100 yd target, the lucky 7 100yd target, the usual 200 yd target and lucky 7 200 yd target able to be shot for 40 rounds + 10 sighters = 4 matches, only 1 box of ammo.
this is the first time trying to add a poll, it may not come out right. first pass will end DEC 31 2011 1159pm </div></div>
I would kind of like for us to take another look at what Top Predator proposed (above) earlier. The more I think about this, the more I like it. 10 rounds on each target above seems reasonable to me. I don't shoot the Luck 7 targets, but I do like the idea of shooting 10 shots at 100 yards, 10 shots at 200 yards, and then if I were (or someone else as well) was to shoot - 10 @ 100 yds (TQ4) prone, then 10 @ 100 yds (TQ4) bench, and the same with the 200 yard (A21) 10 shots prone, 10 shots bench,,, for me this works for those 40 shots as well as practicing from two shooting disciplines. I'd probably be more apt to throw another rifle into my van for shooting the 25 shot 25 yard 4 position target on the same day as I shoot the long range stuff.
Winter's coming on so maybe doing a re'think on some of our comps heading into 2013, may not be a bad idea? </div></div>
