Sign up here, if you have a (licensed) firearm and are willing to participate. Not exactly sure how the tournament will be structured yet, but sign up anyways.

Now that would be a question for Diamondback to answer.

just a quicky note Aquarius. Not all states/municipalities require licensing of firearms.
I am curious about the shooting competition. I just inherited a .30cal bolt action springfield. and several shotguns and a .22 cal 8 shot revolver. Just wondering what exactly are we supposed to shoot with.

Again, a question for Diamondback. He knows more about these than I do.
I'm just here to keep order.

Cealigh, there is a thread in the lounge on this thing. I am in, pistol for sure, rifle if I can find a damn range. I would vote against pelet guns for what it's worth. there is just something unsatisfying about playing against airguns. I mean no offense to any airgunners, just my loose change. There should be two (or maybe more) threads one for pistols and one for rifles. perhaps even shotgun? perhaps subdivisions for scopes and iron sights?

Shotguns? Im In!!! Now, the question is do I take mr Benneli or an Over/Under or an S/S? What set up ? Sporting, FITASC, Driven Bird or cotton tails?
Rifles.... hrrrrm there are bugger all ranges here, Im allowed to play at the USMC at Q. at times when some of the lads from office invite me... not sure if civies can use it tho.... I have a no. 4 smle. and a 375 H&H for big Game, neither are best suited for target work... but are both great fun, if hard work on the shoulder!
Pistols.... All I have is a 32. Walther GSP (not sure if it would be fair to go up against full bore wheel gunners and standard Auto's).
Anyway... Keep me posted, I would love to attend if work permits.

Could be fun. Here's me:
the .30s
most of the .22/5.56s (Sig 556 acquired after pic taken, still need one part to finish build, M16A4 clone has ACOG now)
And I have a few pistols we go that route... |

For signup, Old Ugly the Homebuilt 1911 and I are in, obviously.

Licenses? Here in Washington, you don't need no steenking license... unless you're gonna carry it on the street. (Got that piece of paper, anyway...)
As Cealigh notes, different states have different laws, and the Feds have a different set as well. We'll assume anyone participating is legal wherever they live... (If you're not, stay out of this--don't make a liar out of me.)

Pellet/airguns would have to be their own separate division--it is kind of unfair to have a no-recoil airgun being shot against a full-power kicking-like-a-mule AK, ya gotta admit...

Your choice, but Pistol, Rifle and Shotgun are all separate divisions--I'll see about starting the appropriate threads. Bonus points, say 5%, added to your score for using a WWII-era-or-before design sound good?
"Subcaliber" weapons (pistols, below 9x19/Parabellum) and scopes, does a -20% on each hit outside the 10-ring penalty sound fair?
Motivation for the idea: Part of my thinking was that this would let us who have such irons help show our less-equipped brethren what different weapons can really do in the field.
Targets:
Pistol: http://www.glockfaq.com/targets/olympics/25m_50m_precision_pistol.pdf
Rifle: http://www.glockfaq.com/targets/olympics/300m_rifle.pdf
Shotgunners: well, do any of you shottie guys have any ideas other than to use a silhouette or "torso" target?
I'm sure there are still questions and bugs we need to work out, so please fire away with any that you see or thoughts on solving them.

D'oh!
I'd also need to find a suitable pellet/airgun target for that division... edit, from Ducks' suggestion: airgun division, just use the pistol target.

The pistol one works DB, S'what I use with the kids.
The Duckster is a go with the Ruger Mk II .22 for pistol, though I may turn in some 9mm Luger or even .36 Spiller and Burr Black powder (for which I should get bonus points, ever shoot black powder ball ammo?).
May get on board with the 8mm Mauser for rifle, if I can find time to drive to a proper range. (the neighbors complain about the noise outside of deer season, can you believe it?)

Oh no, MA, that'd be heresy--I'll bet some of these guys would be ready to burn anyone who tried at the stake!

Before you absolutely forbid airguns, perhaps a limitation instead. A longtime shooting friend of mine shoots airguns competitively. A fast MOVING target with a itty-bitty black bulls-eye is the defining competition for those shooters. If pellet gun shooters are going to compete against each other and use such a method - I say hell yes. The difficulty more than outweighs the recoil from our thumpers, shooting prone at a staionary target.
I would like to join in more than one of these shoot-offs, but I have a reason to wait a bit yet. Just wanted my friend to not feel left out. |

KG, think we went with "allowed, but in their own division"--sorta like how we wouldn't want a 1911 going up against a boltgun.
