Benchrest Online Benchrest Competition Rules

[PapaT]

I’m still dealing with the hurricane aftermath, including feeling worn out. I haven’t forgotten the online match. I’ll get it running this week. Gives everyone time to participate in the Pumpkin Carve and the Autumn Shoot.
I would like to limit the next one to .22 and below. My FX Panthera .30 would be my choice personally. But, I’d like to keep it more inline with traditional 50yd/m benchrest. How does everyone feel about this? I’m trying to bring it into conformity, so that I can try and attract more competitors. I’d like to see it transform into a continuing series. Please post your comments on limiting the caliber here. If it’s going to stop you from entering, let us know.

I am fine with .22 and below. It doesn't matter what I use, I am far from competitive. Only the non-participants can beat me for bottom score.

I’m going to start it back up. I need to know a couple of things from the competitors:
1. Do we limit it to ,22 and under or not.
2. How long do we run it: 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 months. Why the long span? Trying to make it fair for the shooters who are not looking forward to cold 70f shooting days like me. It will give them plenty of makeup time.
3. How many cards per month. Remember it’s a running series so you could shoot a months worth in a week. Keep in mind not everyone can shoot every week, never mind every day.
There will be at least one nice prize. So it has too be long enough to generate interest.

Caliber i don’t care ill probably shoot the drs or ghost 22. I think a month is a while if you shoot 2 cards at a time that means 2 days out of a month and thats only 50-75 shots about on a decent weather day

I say depends on distance. If you shoot 50 yards .177 or .22. If you shoot 100 yards .25 or .30.

4 months (end of winter ish)
12 cards (3 month)

I think that lets the guys in the cold find days they can shoot or an indoor range. Scored with the ELEY App so caliber won’t matter if you want.
