Gents,

My club is considering doing a “Bisley in Bucks County Match” based on the UK competitive rules between 1919 and 1968. This post is to see if there is any interest in such a match. We are located in Doylestown PA, at the intersection of RT 611 and RT 202. The tentative date is either the second week of October or third week of October, 2015. The targets to be sued will be Tin hats, (the half bull) and the falling plate target, colored grey both following the 5V scoring system. The match would be fired at 1000 yards and any rifle zeroed to point of aim @ 100 yards would be ideal. The match would have medals awarded for each stage and for the aggregate.

Here is a tentative list of the matches to be held that day:

SR Match (SR(A), SR(B) and Home Guard rifle):

The SR match will have 5 stages of fire of 7 shots each for a total of 175 points. There will be 5 sighters, requiring a total of 40 rounds.
Stage 1) Prone-slow supported: 2-sighters and 7 rounds for record.
Stage 2) Prone-snap fire: 7 rounds for record, 7 seconds/shot.
Stage 3) Sitting-rapid: 1 sighter and 7 rounds for record in 45 seconds.
Stage 4) Standing/Standing to kneeling snap: 1-sighter and 7 shots for record, 7 sec/shot
Stage 5) Prone-slow fire unsupported: 1-sighter and 7 shots for record in 8 minutes

Macnaghten (Scotland forever) (SR(A) and Home Guard rifle):

Shooter has 110 seconds to fire up to 25 rounds at two coffin lid targets. Shooters will begin standing with an empty rifle grounded on the mat. Ammunition may be clipped. When the command “targets” is given the shooter may get in any unsupported position and fire as many rounds as possible in the time limit allowed at the targets in his lane.
For each hit in excess of 9 on each target, the extra on each target totaled and squared. (2 targets, one with 11, one with 12, is 2x2 + 3x3 = 13 bonus added to raw score) Each target must have at 9+ hits in the black to get the bonus maximum possible score: 125

HMS Victoria Memorial elimination (Finals) SR(A), SR(B) and Home Guard rifle

The highest half of shooters in the SR match will have a shoot off in the prone unsupported position. No sighters, same rifle to be used as in SR match. After each shot, scores are checked and shooters not meeting the threshold below will leave the line, with that shot being that last scored. (2 relays)
Shot number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Minimum score 2 3 4 4 5 5 5 V V V


The Lord Chelmsford (Grand aggregate) SR(A) or Home Guard rifle:

Sum of the Service rifle, the Macnaghten, and HMS Victoria Memorial matches

Non-aggregate match:
The General Colley: (sniper rifle) (Any rifle on program)

Sniper match, prone supported, (5 shots), prone unsupported (slow) and sitting unsupported/standing supported (5 shots), no sighters. 15-rounds for record, Hun head target, Coaching allowed.

Any interest?
