The Triple Crown of Rimfire

[tonykharper]

The Triple Crown of Rimfire is schedule for the week of 25 thur 30 May 2021.

I would like to make a proposal to change the IR 50/50 portion of the Triple Crown from the three targets of IR 50/50 Unlimited, to three targets of IR 50/50 10 shot scoring.

The IR 50/50 "unlimited" portion has always been the most feared portion of the Triple Crown. If one has one bad shot it drops his overall score tremendously.

I don't think anyone has ever won the Triple Crown that shot a 749 agg. on the IR 50/50 portion. It is simply the nature of the IR 50/50 unlimited scoring system.

On the other hand the 10 Shot scoring system rewards absolute accuracy without penalizing one or two bad shots just as ARA and PSL does.

In addition the 10 Shot scoring system allows one to come back from a poor target by having so much upside for an outstanding performance.

This is not my original idea. Bill Calfee came up with it.

I feel so strongly that it will improve the Triple Crown I'm advocating here.

Paul Tolvstad and Jason Frymier are in a position to affect this change.

If you support this idea please respond here. Maybe we can convince Paul and Jason it is time for a change.

Benchrest. I think he meant to post in a different forum.

I though It would be more like 3 categories bench , prone , and maybe off hand But I am only guessing . it could be upside down while being beaten verbally by family and the kids get to kick your shins lol.

It is three categories of rimfire benchrest. But sometimes after a match you may feel very much as you described.

In the United States there are three sanctioning bodies for rimfire benchrest (RFBR).

The American Rimfire Assocation (ARA), Professional Shooters League, (PSL), and International Rimfire, (IR 50/50).

These organization sanction matches on an nation wide basis. They each have their own rules, and their own targets.

They offer National level recognition for shooters that do well.

Two of them offer Hall of Fame points and publish their Hall of Fame on their websites. . The ARA and IR 50/50 offer club, State, and National level events.

Complete information about these organization can be found on their websites: www.americanrimfire.com, www.proshootingleague.com/, http://www.ir5050.com/.

The Triple Crown is a once a year competition that shoots three targets from each organization.
