Quote:Hey Joe u will never believe this , but I agree with u 100% on the reentry deal! "BUT" If not for the reentry targets there would be no matches at Green! It`s the only way we can make any money to pay the way at Green!
At the Original PA 1000 yard BR Club shooters were assigned to benches and relays. Maybe 6 relays of 20 shooters-don't remember. Then there was a winner and 2nd of each relay. After all relays, the shootoff, with winners and 2nds shooting. The winner of that shootoff won the match. Each relay shot in the same conditions.
CBA matches are such that relays are fairly quick, lots of shots are fired for record.
I don't hope to change , or want to change, ASSRA matches. But, a rifle that will average 1" 5-shot 100 yard groups will be in the middle of the pack in CBA matches, and will do really well in a few.
The same rifle in ASSRA matches can easily shoot <1" groups and >246 scores(200 yard) if the shooter is willing to pay for the targets. I've seen them, shoot a 245. Next target, 25, 23, 24, 25, 24, 24, stop shooting-can't beat the 245, next target...
Again, it is merely a test of patience.
I wrote an article for the News a whilke back about the VT match, now there's a match I'd like to shoot in.
No sighters, 10 shots string measure, maybe 15 minutes to shoot.
All with wheelweights, which all the best shooters used in the 1880's. (H.M. recommended them.)
