First Sheffield Factory Sporter Benchrest Match

[Danny Creasy]

Five strings of four shooters shot from 25 yards and 50 feet on this beautiful morning. This match will need some tweaking. I am going to move the aperture shooters to their own class at 50 feet next time - Dwight and Willie could hardly see the bulls at 25 yards. Let's drop the 25 minute shooting time to 20 minutes. I have modified the rules to allow Mossberg 44s and Remington 513s in aperture class if they make weight. Let's be sure our rifles make weight next time and if you think you are close, bring two rifles. Do you want to keep the option to shoot two T Class rifles?

First the T-Class scores - scoped or aperture sighted .22 sporters from 25 yards:

After some feedback on Dwight's Rimfire Shooting board, here are the modified rules:

dwightpilkilton.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=rapidfirerimfire&action=display&thread=741

Let's shoot this on the empty fourth Saturdays for January and February. We will set up at 9:00 AM and shoot when the first line is ready.

The fourth Saturday in December is Christmas Eve and I think most folks will have holiday plans already.
