Sheffield Range

Registration starts at 8 AM

Easy to shoot but challenging to win!!

MINI SPORTER MASTER MATCH

Three events. Same rifle, scope, and ammo. All done by noon.

1st - 25 yard benchrest - 20 minutes - USBR target

2nd - 25/25 Rifle Silhouette (that's right "rifle") - 25 yards - the normal 25 critter rack - only 25 rounds. You should be zeroed from the BR event. Somebody should clean this one.

3rd - The rapidfire offhand stage from CMP Sporter. A CMP Sporter target engaged from 25 yards - as per CMP rules, 25 seconds for an auto or 30 seconds for a bolt action. Two five shot strings for a possible of 100-10X.

No entry fee.

To encourage new shooters, I will only post the top three scores.

Scoring will be just like the Annual Sporter Master Match.

The regular 50/25 rules for a compliant rifle will apply. Overall weight at or below 8.5 lbs, trigger must simply be safe, sporter style stock, any scope magnification, etc..

Pretty impressive. With two days notice for a totally new match, NASA, Inc. had 14 show up to compete and it was held on a weekday nonetheless. Everyone had a blast and several folks got exposure to shooting disciplines that were new to them. It was a bright, beautiful, and warm spring day with only sporadic winds.

At 8:00 we registered everyone and I divided them up in to four squads. The first squad shot the BR event on the rimfire range and then moved over to the pistol range to shoot the silhouette match. By the time the 4th squad had shot the BR event, it was time for the1st squad to move back to the rimfire range and shoot the rapidfire bullseye event.

Here are our shooters and their rifles, scopes, and ammo listed in alphabetical order:

Danny Creasy - Anschutz 1710, Weaver V-16, SK Std Plus
Katie Creasy - Winchester 190, Simmons Deerfield 4-12X40, Aguila Std Vel

Ellen Ellis - CZ 452 American, Swift 6-18X44, Aguila Std Vel
Paul Guse - Ruger 10/22, Leupold 3-9X33, SK Std Plus
Barry Holmes - Anschutz 1416, Weaver Grand Slam 6-20, SK Std Plus

I always said this could happen. In a Sporter Master type event, somebody could win the war without winning a battle. Congratulations Randy!

When the girls are home on vacation, participating in a match is like catching up with family.

Thanks James.

And, I appreciate your catching my typing error earlier. I corrected it.

I wish you could have been their while we scored. Almost the entire contingent stood around one of the tables under the tents and carefully over saw the entire process. Glad they did. They helped Bill and I get through a complicated process with accurate results.

Here is the scoring section from the Annual Sporter Master rules (unlike the Annual Sporter Master Match, we only had three events today):

Scoring: You have to start to finish. So, let's say we have 10 shooters there bright and early to shoot BR. With 10 wannabe 22 Sporter Masters, there would be 55 points on the table for the competitors to claim in each of the five disciplines and the benchrest scenario might look something like this:

Moe shoots 217-3X and claims 10 points for 1st place.
Curly shoots 215-1X and claims 9 points for 2nd place.
Larry shoots 210- 2X and claims 8 points for 3rd place.
Shemp shoots 205-1X and claims 7 points for 4th place.
Lancelot shoots 205-0X and claims 6 points for 5th place.
Arthur ties for 6th with Guinevere with each shooting a 200-1X - they split 9 points for 4.5 each.
Ren has a 190-1X and gets 3 points.
Stimpy has some scope issues and fires a 155-2X and can only claim 2 points.
Sponge Bob (almost dehydrated by now) can only claim 1 point with his 99-0X.

Just like the other sporter master events. That is what I thought and why I assumed it was an error.

Thanks
