Benchrest Online Benchrest Competition Rules

Definitely would have. This is where i was getting flack in nrl 22 and you could print your own targets you just had to plug to 30. A 7 with the 22 made a 9 when pluged

I’m surprised that nobody suggested FaceTime, zoom or similar for the scenario you are talking about.

Yeah, I don’t think they’ve managed to generate much interest, but. I could be wrong. I like my HAM friends LOL.

Elaine and I were talking about that at PAC. I was explaining to her how they plug to .35 and how that could raise your score. I explained how it allows multiple calibers to compete in the same event. But, in actuality it gives a false reading for the smaller calibers when comparing it to international.22 benchrest. But, it is what it is. The .30 dominates 100yd benchrest now, it would make sense to make it a .30 caliber match. But, that’s just my opinion.

It should be easy to shoot a target with .30 and score it with the app and then find a borderline shot and measure .11” from the center of the hole with calipers and see if it’s scoring as a .22 or as a .30. It’s probably not necessary.
Here is the explanation:
“
The ELEY x-shot digital scoring system processes different calibers by using software calibration to adjust for varying bullet hole diameters, allowing users to shoot alternative calibers and have the app convert the hit detection to standard .22 scoring. [1]
How Caliber Scoring Works in ELEY x-shot:

• • Base Calibration: The system and proprietary paper targets are natively optimized for .22 Long Rifle rimfire dimensions. [1, 3]
  • Cross-Caliber Use: Shooters can utilize different compatible calibers on the targets; the app adjusts the inner diameter recognition to properly score the break edge of the distinct projectile size. [, 2]
  • Conversion: The software maps the impact relative to the ring dimensions and converts the recorded group metrics into standard scoring criteria. []
  • Manual Override: If differing hole sizes create low-confidence flags or edge-call ambiguity in the optical detection, users can manually tap and correct individual shot values within the app interface.”

My suggestion is allow ,177 ( if it works) to .35. For right now limit it to 50yds. If it’s successful we can always add other matches at different ranges. I know I will be interested in 100yds as well. I like shooting and so I’m game for most ranges. I know Elaine and I will both participate and at least five others have already purchased targets. I will make some trinkets to recognize winners. I think we should shoot a match or two, see how it all comes together. Then hammer out a schedule and set the rules etc.. The hard part will be getting it started. I’ll be more than glad to make some instruction videos if anyone is having difficulty. These are only suggestions, feel free to disagree, build upon them or add your own ideas. Please keep it constructive.
I also feel that slugs or pellets are ok?

My wife will also be shooting in this as well

I have not figured out the app yet so I will gust post it here. I shot it at 50 yards, inside with .177
Using a .22 cal template I scored a 202

*****IMPORTANT*****
To enter into a match you have to be invited.
Send me your email via DM if you want to join in.
It will only be used to invite you.

No one has missed anything yet. I only created a test match with 5 entries. It all seems to work ok. Now we will launch a bigger test match. This way we can all get a feel for it. We just need to decide when we want to end it. I’m thinking 50yds up to .30. If someone wants to volunteer to be a referee, I can invite people to be a ref and they will have the ability to correct any contested scores. I’m not interested in being a ref and personally I won’t contest anyone’s scores.

I hate the app so I don’t want to be a rep. Shot a card in 30 cal today scored 211 220 230 230 240. By eye its a 240

it scored the same card that many different ways? : 0

 

[FL22]

Probably no one will want to be a referee so either we take turns or it’s by lowest score for next match.

It took me a long time to jjust get in the app. Me and it just don’t get along.

 

[PapaT]

I'll have to figure out my life, and how it all works, before I can be a ref.

 

[Chief_Pellet_Officer]

Rifle and ammo used please .

Its a Challenger / Marauder hybrid, shooting 10.5 grain Benjamin Match Grade. Its my feild target gun.

 

[duchunter007]

Care full what you ask for, just bought the wife a nice used Red Wolf But have to say we are having fun shooting together!!

 

[Solo1]

Thats great!

In my target I posted above,I double shot one target by accident, so I left one blank and took the zero.
Here is a rule that I think we should have to cover this:
“
One shot per bull; highest-scoring hit counts if a target is struck more than once. No more than 25 competitive shots per card — any shot beyond 25 is assessed a -10 point penalty.”
