Thanks, Jimmy.... We tried really hard to do our homework when we set up NUAH and agreed on the targets.... and the requirements for Membership and the different Divisions.... I am a bit surprised that very few shoot at 150-200 yards, and nobody so far has qualified at 300, even as a Member!.... The idea was to offer a challenge for everyone, but not make it so difficult that we only ended up with a handful of members.... We now have over 100, so I think we got it right!....The matches actually came along a bit later.... It would be nice to see them get more popular.... I think enough guys shoot, they just don't bother posting if they can't beat or come close to what is already posted.... It's a shame, really, as mostly you are trying to improve, using the equipment and skills you have.... I just voted to leave ‘ as is. ‘ My rationale is that I think we might discourage new shooters from trying their luck. Honestly, it’s difficult for many folks to have access to even 100 yards and thinking about 200 yards or further with an air rifle, is almost unimaginable to a vast majority of BR Airgun shooters. The new target would be humbling!! Tom I just don't have enough time, unfortunately.... even though I am retired.... Bob
Wait…..What? There is a NUAH membership and divisions? I thought this was just a fun shoot amongst friends n such. So now that I am more cornfussed, what now? I like the old target. If I ever get good enough to ring the x 5 times pretty consistently still no. New shooters would just take a pass.
Looks like I will need to see if I can find that target again. I have to lay a ruler across it for verification I think.
BobYes sir, looks like you guys put quite a lot of thought into the original NUAH target. So, I'm good with it as it is.I think there's only one person who has ever got a 5X and that a few years back. If it starts happening on a regular basis then maybe we should look into a new target?As for the 0.35 scoring plugs, I have them all from .177 to .30 shank. I got them from Mike Niksch for shooting in his Nat50 contests. I'm sure you could contact him and get a set. I'm gonna put my vote down for leave as is, but I have flat learned a lot from the discussion. Appreciate all the thought that went into this.Fuss
