If you enjoy some friendly shooting competition but for whatever reason you can’t compete or participate in any, I might have the solution for you. If like me you can’t find any local clubs or maybe you have health problems that limit your mobility, lack of free time or maybe you’re just more comfortable shooting at home.
I might have a simple solution for you and the only cost is the price of targets and I even have a way to reduce that cost. Did I mention it will be free to enter and you can do it on your time, when and where it is convenient for you. All you need is a smartphone or iPad, an air rifle .22, .25 or .30. And a special paper target.
We can make some basic rules, but my intent is to make it as easy to participate as possible. The most important requirement is that you bring your “Personal Integrity” with you. The scoring is automated, the integrity comes into play when you set your distance.
For you old timers, this is the modern day “postal match”. Instead of mailing your target to some far off place, you simply take a photograph your target with a FREE app. The app lets me setup an event and I can invite shooters from around the world to participate. You can click on the event and join in.
We can agree on distances etc.,to shoot at. It’s basically a 50yd/m benchrest card, but we can shoot it at any distance we like. The app calculates the center of each hole and scores it as a .22. If we can get more participants by shooting at a shorter distance like 20yds so be it. If there’s enough interest we could even have events at different ranges.
It’s a great way to have fun and try some stress free competition, it took me a few minutes to set up a test event.
I am going to launch a Free online benchrest competition. I will be more than glad to make some prizes for it.
I already have some targets, I believe @duchunter007 does. and I know at least one other person has some ordered. I’m willing to mail smaller quantities of targets to someone if they don’t want to buy a package of them.
