A falling block for match shooting ??? - Page 2

gopher · #31 02-09-2016, 03:21 PM

I didn't think there was anything fun about hunter class at all.

Rules for a fun shoot are made up anyways they can call it what ever they want.

But the biggest problem I see with rifle shoots is the rules there is more of them then church. "Fun shoots" should follow a certain associations rules to keep the playing field level.

Poor terminology chosen IMO.

More than one body to sanction a match, right?

It would appear that if you showed up to an ISB BR Hunter Class with a falling block, you would not be allowed to shoot for score, but if you showed up for the same match under NBRSA you would.

I could post up many other sanctioning bodies, and their different rules as well, for all sorts of shoots. Does that make it right for all of them? If one applies the "logic" used on this thread, then it would?

The matches that have been mentioned are not sanctioned matches and do not follow any sanctioning bodies rules or platform . They are fun shoots and the rules are subject to the individuals hosting the shoot ,hence some of the the odd rules such as no PPC and BR cartridges allowed.
In the end It will be up to the hosts of the shoot to allow you to shoot your fb or not ( welcome to unsanctioned competition )

These fun shoots are popular and by all I have heard people have a good time good luck and shoot well

There are sanctioned group shoots at rosebud in lv and hv as well as unlimited if anyone is interested just look on Benchrest.ca

Who is the common sanctioning body in Alberta?

I guess a fella could show up to a Nascar race, in a F1 car, complete with rule book, but I somehow don't think they would let him run, no matter how many high fives he got from his own pit crew?

Bottom line?

If you want to shoot a real BR Hunter Class match with a falling block, check the rules first, and find out which body sanctions the match.

if you truly wanted to answer his question instead of starting a fight about who is "more,more right" you would have looked at what he posted.

your condescending statements aren't required either.

Right you are HW223, obviously you have read my post and noticed the 2 rule pages that I've posted.

Right again on the fun part. I typically meet up with old friends and make new ones as well. Everyone is friendly, engages in conversation and shares tips.

HW223 · #40 02-09-2016, 05:18 PM

I think the confusion comes from calling it a Benchrest match , these shoots have no real resemblance to a br match . What they are good for is providing shooters with a fun venue to get out and shoot , and for that there great ,

I truly answered the question, BEFORE he posted the particular shoots he was participating in...

Your inaccurate statements aren't required either.

Time to put this one to rest.

pretty much the response i expected.

feel free to look at the order of those posts i quoted. then before you even knew what events he was looking at going in and the governing bodies you outright reject the idea. typical really, and like it said it's what i've come to expect.

just a guy out for a fight

This year I want to try a small bore silhouette match. If anyone is familiar with the rules, will my 10/22 be allowed to be used?

LFGA (Lethbridge) puts on silhouette matches. You can check there website for upcoming dates and rules.

duceman · #45 02-10-2016, 09:40 AM

IIRC semi autos must be singly loaded but if has been so long since I shot a match I can't be certain
Rules will tell the take got sure

If I have to single load, it may be better to pull the Gevarm out of the dark reaches of the safe!

Give ya a heckuva a deal on the first one - the second one will cost ya more!

It’s a recession so it would be a wise choice to get a bolt action 22 instead of the autoloader right? I mean with the soaring price of 22 ammo getting expensive, something that gets more mileage is fiscally responsible.
