SH Short Range Competitions
Below are the General guidelines to use:
Below are the General guidelines to use:
2) SIGHTS - Four (4) Sight Classes - (S) = Scope, (L/R) = Laser or Red dot, (A) =Aperture, (O) = Open Iron
3) 1 post per type of match. In other words, if you shoot the same match with the same rifle, at the same distance, in the same position, with the same caliber, with the same optic, that is a double shot match. If you shoot a particular match with a different caliber, different position, different optic, or support side, it is NOT considered a double shot match. Support Side means if you usually shoot right handed, you shoot it left handed. If you shoot left handed, you shoot it right handed. When posting a score, put SS after the match description.
4) POSTING A PICTURE IS NOT NECCESSARY, BUT HELPFULL TO DETERMINE MATCH WINNERS OR TO USE THE PHOTO AS A LEARNING / TRAINING / COMPARISON TOOL.
5) A new thread will be posted every month, however if there is no new thread already posted for the month after the first week, someone please start a thread titled "(new month / year it is) SH Short Range Rimfire Competitions"
6) To make it easier on whomever is administrating / compiling the scores at theend of the month, please put the title of the match shot at the top of yourpost along with the caliber. If more than one match shot per shooter, please put in a space between the two matches, along with a similiar title of the different match...THIS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
7) So that the monthly thread doesn't get too "busy", please post any comments, questions, or anything not score related in the "Learnings thread / sticky" to be found in the monthly header information. "Great shooting" or "good score" type of atta boys is fine, but a long BS session makes it harder and takes more time to sort and compile scores and shooters at the end of the month. This will also make it easier to whom ever is administrating the competitions for the month...AND WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
8) All scores are "best edge"...even if most of your hit is in a lower scoring ring, as long as the next higher scoring ring's line is broken you get the next higher scoring ring's point value.
9) These are friendly matches ment for fun, practice, and training. There is no need for criticism, off remarks, or insults to the shooter or their equipment. Some "Stone busting" is fine, just make sure it's short, in good taste, and there is an attempt to add a
to ensure it was just "stone busting" and not you are not being a jerk. From time to time a rules change, COF or other suggestion is entertained. If viable, it will be presented to the SH forum for a poll for a determined period of time. Majority rules, if the large portion of the group likes it, the new change will be implemented. These are YOUR matches, you decide on how to shoot them.

3a. Stage 1 - COLD BORE CHALLENGE - 1 round. Challenges you and your rifle's ability to predict and produce a consistant bold bore shot. The cold bore shot should be the 1st shot of the day, or (depending on air temperature) the rifle is allowed to sit unfired for 30 to 60 minutes. Inner circle +25 points, outer circle +10 points.
3b. Stage 2 - THE GRID - 10 rounds. Designed to make the shooter "search & identify" the proper target called out and excercise a precise shot. there will be 10 random numbers drawn (1-20) each month which are the proper target to hit and are scored +5 points per hit. The numbers will be shot in sequentially in order per the monthly thread (the target is never the same way twice). The other 10 numbers are "no shoots". If a no shoot is hit, -5 point penalty. Empty spaces around the boxes score zero points (clean misses). If a picked number is accidentally hit (not the intended number at the time) please be honest and score -5 points.
3c. Stage 3 - 5 ROUND GROUP 3/4" CHALLENGE - 5 rounds. Each hit within the circle scores +10 points, each shot outside the circle -10 points.
3d. Stage 4 - KNOW YOUR LIMITS - 4 different sized circles, 1 shot each. Add point value indicated on each circle with a hit. Be careful, if you continue and there is a miss, 0 points scored for the entire stage.
3e. Stage 5 - HOSTAGE TARGETS - 3 hostage (good guy / bad guy) targets to shoot, 1 round each, shoot the darker silhouette (the bad guy). There are 2 point values on the bad guy 10 points and 20 points if hit in the box. Hit a the lighter silhouette (the good guy) score -20 points. Clean misses are 0 points.
Add (or subtract) the points earned for a total score (Max. 250 points)
