The last Sheffield CMP Sporter Match will be held this Saturday (Jan. 26th). To make the most of what is forecast to be decent weather conditions and give the non-CMP shooters a chance to burn some powder, we are going to hold a Speed 90 Match on the old Rifle Range. Some of the CMP shooters may want to shoot the Speed 90 as well. Thus, we will start late. Set up for the Speed 90 will be at 10 AM.
Cut pasted the original description of the Speed 90:
The same 24 silhouette rack set up will be used as in the Rapidfire Rimfire Match. However, the rack will be set on the 90 yard line of the rifle range and a shooter will have all the ammo he or she chooses to bring to firing line to engage the four rows of the rack in four strings. The object is to knock down all of the silos in a row as fast as she/he can while firing from a sitting or prone position. The four times will be added to together for an aggregate time and that will be the shooters score. There will be a 6 second reward for shooting a row clean (no misses). So, fast may not necessarily beat slow in this one.
The 50/25 rifle rules will apply. Unlike the Raptor Match, one will get to start in position. The shooter can use a bi-pod, a front rest, a shooting stick, or simply a sling as he or she prefers. To keep the match moving at a good clip, we will call time on a row at one minute. There will be a generous sighting in period at the start of each string of three shooters. AND, there are two classes - bolt guns and semi-autos. No manual repeater handicapping will be necessary. And yes, you can shoot in both classes if you so desire, but you will need two rifles
