You need an Iron Sights winner? ... well, why didn't you say so before? Looks like I will have to seriously reconsider attending.
For consideration: Clif and I were trading shots in a shoot off for first place ... and he was using iron sights. He could have easily won.
I will say, my most recent competition, did a fairly good job of leveling the playing field. But as usual, people with scopes did better.
Also, there were way too many ties in that last competition. Who knows what I will have up my sleeve for this next 1!
I took my 10/22 Takedown that I'll be bringing, to the range yesterday morning for a quick tryout. I ran ten full 10rd mags, and one full BX-25 mag with no problems. Used mostly Federal 550 bulk pack, as well as some Mini-Mags. Trigger isn't too bad for stock, just over 5lbs. Of course the sights , so by the 28th, it will either have some Tech Sights, Williams sights, or a short 4X scope that I have that will still allow the stock to fit into the bag.
I've racked my brain over your dilemma and I can't think of a fair solution except separating scopes from irons. I know that would double your work (scoring) but I can't see another fair solution.
You were dancing around pretty close to a fair solution by having the scope guys shoot at a different bullseye for each shot (forcing a change in NPOA) while the irons guys could stay on the same target. I don't know if that was your intention or if it was simply about making the target smaller for the scopes.
You could have a contest where competitors shoot for group size. That would be one way to level the playing field except for ... equipment and ammunition. The same shooter with two different rifles and different ammo could shoot completely different size groups. The contest would become between those with top gear/ammo vs. the stock gear people. In other words, back to square one.
Man are those cool. Changing the sights....Do you just drift the sights out with a punch, or do you need a special tool?
Hopefully I'm bringing a girl as well as my S&W to this event... no promises though...these things are way too much like a sausage fest... I mean, literally, since we have all the brats........
right..

ok so as far as i can tell...we just state in our post how much we will contribute toward plywood and then give it to the purchaser at the event??
i will throw in $25.00 on the plywood.
And as the event closes in ill see what food items are needed.
I can also bring a pop up canopy and card table if needed.
