Addendum: Starting out, I felt and still feel, like I'm sitting at the bottom of Mt. McKinley contemplating scaling it. If Jerry Sharrett and later Mike Ezell hadn't taken me under their wing, I don't know that I'd have made the leap from "plinking" at the local range. This board is a great source of information, but sometimes you just have to have someone to pick up the phone and call.Maybe the stark reality of Benchrest is a little overwhelming.
Rules are rules, there simple shoot better than the next guy you win! Sounds like some are lookin for and EDGE!! pun intended! I think if you ain't happy with your equipment, you should change it. If you you think that will bring more people to the game I think your wrong, I think there are a lot of guy's that want to change and that will mean getting rid of equipment and it becoming available to people who wana shoot but cant invest heavy to start, that is just another way of looking at it. No rule will ever make everyone happy, so to those who aint, enjoy your next venture, and for what it's worth, we will miss you!I think most of choose this sport because it's a chalenge so for the sake of us who want a chalenge, lets leave things the way they were when we started this craving!!sure as long as they use the INSDIE OF THE RING for thirty and the outside for 6.
life is not fair...there are rules in games...this game has rules...no one requires you to shoot a 6 in score,THAT IS YOUR CHOICE, LIVE WITH IT.
Larry, great idea to further consider. (The inside out rule)A side note to Jackie. I shoot competative archery in the winter. In archery we us a tie breaker method called the "inside out" shots. This same concept could be used as a more fair method of determining tie breakers than the wipe out system that is common to us. It would work like this for us. Simply count the number of shots in which the bullet is completely inside the 10 ring without touching the 10 ring at all. In this way the 6MM would actually have the advantage in tie breakers only, because the 6mm bullet takes up the least amount of space inside the 10 ring.
Sincerely,
Larry
I just had a great idea. Let NBRSA adopt their rules and let IBS keep or adopt theirs. Then you can shoot whichever you want or both if you so choose. I am so happy I come up with good ideas so often. Aren't you? .
Well *I* want them to be at Rockingham Gun Club in early October.The IBS score national begins Thursday and concludes Sunday. I'm sure this is exactly what the majority want.
