Raptor Match Rules - 5th Saturdays

[Danny Creasy]

The Raptor Match is fired on the highpower rifle range at 100 yards with a .22 rifle. The shooter moves from standing to prone or sitting with his/her bipodded rifle to engage five little chickens at 100 yards with 10 rounds in one minute - three strings - your score is the number of chickens standing out of all fifteen birds engaged - low score wins - tie breaker's anticipated - tie breaker will be a single string with only five rounds to be repeated as necessary - anything goes for the rifle as long as it is chambered for the .22 long rifle round and the rifle less magazine, weighs no more than 10.5 lbs - repeat: the combined weight of the rifle and scope with the box magazine detached can't exceed ten and a half pounds - the weight of the magazine of a tube repeater will have to be included for obvious reasons.

I don't want people to have to go buy a bi-pod for this event if they would prefer not to. So, the Raptor participant will have the option of using a sling, sand bag, bull bag, a modest metallic tri-pod rest, etc or a bi-pod. But, keep in mind the shooter will have to start standing with the rifle and any support in hand, then at the command, assume position (sitting or prone) and shoot (all under the clock). To be fair the weight of the bi-pod, bag, and/or sling will not be included in the 10.5 lb weigh-in. Also, no rear support bags of any type will be allowed.

To better simulate field conditions, no wind flags or meters are allowed.
