Shoot-Till-75
OK, last moths match was a tough one. Perhaps a bit “too real†for some of the participants who would have liked to continue ignoring those “flyers†so their ego doesn’t get hurt. I can understand that.
This month we have a game that will require you to determine the best strategy based on your shooting ability. In this match the name of the game is to score EXACTLY 75 points, through any combination of shots, using a target with different point values assigned. The “score†will be the number of shots required to complete the accumulation of 75 points.
Because of the inputs I have received, we will have both rifle and pistol classes this month, but each at different ranges. This should allow most people to participate in one or both classes. The ranges specified are shorter to make things a bit easier after last month.
Target : Download the February Target
Distance: 10 yards (Pistol) or 25 yards (Rifle)
Rounds per Target :As needed. The reported score is the number of rounds needed to score EXACTLY 75 points.
Targets per Entry : 1 target per class entry. Each shooter may enter in TWO total classes; one rifle, one pistol or two rifle or two pistol. A single class entry is also acceptable for those with only one firearm.
Procedure and scoring:
The object of this match is to get to 75 total points with the fewest number of shots fired.
Targets are to be placed at 10 yards from the shooter for handgun class (or 25 yards for rifle class). Firearms may be held using standard holds but may not be supported, sling is OK for rifles.
The target consists of several circles or varying sizes and point values of +10, +20, +30, and +50 points.
The background area around the circles is considered a ‘miss’ area and counts as minus 5 points.
The shooter may determine the combination of point values that will result in 75 points.
The points are earned based on the values on the target.
A shot that breaks the line on a circular target counts as a hit and the value of that circle is earned.
Any shot that hits in the ‘miss’ area will deduct 5 points from the total score.
The shooter is to track the number of points earned after each shot and can not stop until the total of all points and misses results in a score of exactly 75 points. Since everyone will complete the match with a 75 the “score†to report will be the number of rounds fired to achieve 75 points.
Note that all the point values for “target†features are multiples of 10. Therefore, in order to get a score of 75 at least one “miss†is required.(Actually, and odd number of misses is needed.) You must actually shoot a 'miss(es)' as needed to get the required point total and they must be on the target. You can not 'assume you will miss. If you hit a positive scoring target when you are trying to miss the points still count! Also, if you completely miss the target that round still counts in your score.
EXAMPLE 1 : A target with +50, +20, +10, MISS(-5) = 75 points in 4 shots
EXAMPLE 2 : A target with +10,+10,+10,+10,+10, MISS(-5), MISS(-5), +20, +20, MISS(-5) = 75 points in 10 shots.
Classes:
Handgun – Any caliber handgun, no optics @ 10 yards
Handgun w/optics – Any caliber handgun with optics @ 10 yards
Rifle – Any caliber rifle, no optics @ 25 yards
Rifle w/optics – Any Caliber rifle, with optics @ 25 yards
Entries: Shooter may enter up to TWO entries this month but each must be from different classes.
ENTRY CUT-OFF DATE = 2/29/2004

). Looking at the target, I think I will try using my Swedish Mauser M38 and maybe see if BamBam-31 will lend me his scoped Ruger 10/22. I'm afraid all my other rifles might shoot too high at 25 yards. Anyways, this one looks really fun and I can't wait to get to the range, which I guess is the main point with these matches
