Unfortunately folks, we have not heard from JimQwerty123 in a while, hoping everything is OK with him and Susan.
I reached out to Marty2 and asked about this years match. As luck would have it, turns out I am going to give it a go hosting it this year. Let's see if I can fill Jim's shoes because he has always done a great job.
So away we go!!!
Come one, Come all!
Vintage Pumper, Modern Pumper, and Vintage Everything Else Casual Match #1 is open for business. The Casual Match is a fun match. Shoot whatever Vintage Pumper, Modern Pumper, or Vintage Everything Else gun (see below) that you want at 10M (more or less depending on what you have available), use any position, rest or optic that you prefer. See below for the details.
Because this is a relatively new match started late last season, with hopefully New members not familiar, detailed rules are below so we don’t have to keep referring to the 50’ Casual rules (mostly copied from the 50' Casual rules).
Remember, this is the "honor system" and the object is to have fun.
Rules:
1) Distance is 10M. If you are limited to distance, shoot at whatever distance you have available.
2) Any position you like including bench rest, prone, sitting, kneeling, mono pod, bi pod, etc...
3) Any scope or open sights, red dot, shooting from the hip, whatever…
4) Targets are the same as for the regular 50’ Casual Match and can be found at http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=114644.0 (http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=114644.0)
5) Match the target to you caliber. 20 caliber, please use the 22 (5.5mm) target.
Shoot 2 shots at each of the 12 major bulls on the scoped sights targets, drop the lowest 2 scoring bulls for a total possible score of 200/200. Kinda like when the teacher would drop the lowest test score when figuring the final grade. You may also shoot 1 shot at each of the 12 bulls on two 12 bull target sheets and post both sheets; however, you must drop the same two bulls on both target sheets
For the 24 bull targets... 1 shot per bull for 24 bulls. Scoring will be in line with the match rules.......for score you eliminate 2 boxes containing 2 bulls each for a possible high score of 200/200. For an X you still need to totally remove the dot on the 4.5mm target and totally remove the shaded area around the dot on the 5.5 target.
6) Classes are:
• Vintage Pumper (VP) (as defined in the Vintage Gate – manufactured pre-1993)
• Modern Pumper (MP) (Manufactured after 1992)
• Vintage Everything Else (VEE) (as defined in the Vintage Gate – manufactured pre-1993)
Please turn in a scan or picture of the scored, dated target. If you want to show off your gun, then by all means, include a picture of it too.
Target due date is Sunday, December 2nd, 2018.
Please include the following information with your entry (The best way is to copy the info below and paste it back in to your reply):
Call name or real name
Class (VP, MP, VEE)
Air rifle or Pistol Make and Model (e.g., Sheridan Super Grade)
Sighting system
Pellet and caliber
Shooting position and/or aid(s)
Score
I’ll post results for entries to an excel spreadsheet and sort by class.
Shoot straight, be safe and have FUN!

Scott,
Didn't they change the year for Vintage guns not too long ago (due to that instigator Marty (Yng@heart)? ;)

Holey Cow! You're RIGHT!
Vintage Air Gun Gate
This gate is for discussion of all brands of airguns, optics and airgun accessories pre-1993 ONLY!!!!
I suddenly have a lot more Vintage guns to shoot.
;D
-
Looks interesting. Bit confused about which target to use though.
I'd shoot my Vintage 4.5 springers open peep sight
-
I find the 12 bull target Tucannon used above to be the easier of them to see with Peeps.
With my eyes the 24 bull targets lines are too fine to see.

.... might want to add "ambient temperature". It's December !!!
lol

You're a fine one to talk... you were smart enough to move south.

I like this little gun a lot. I hope I can get a better target out of it before the matches end.

Daaang.... I knew I was forgetting something. ::) :P
My VEE target is hanging in the pellet trap right where I left it.
So this round was easy enough...
