Modifications to the Los Alamitos Match

Los Alamitos

Although Los Alamitos isn’t often shot at Bisley  it has been  an alternative match that has been used if the Mover is not available.  Its also shot at Mattersey and was actually offered as a stand alone event in 2012

The current COF has evolved from the pistol days, but not necessarily consistently, or taking into account range restrictions. Hence the modifications suggested below.

These changes will:

  • Allow for a 48 round COF, instead of 42. Thus, it maintains the round count when substituted for the Mover. (although can’t be seen as a record score for the whole match).
  • Takes into account the ‘minimum 10 metre rule’, applicable to a lot of ranges (especially Bisley, where shooting at 7m exposes the shooter to risk of ‘on metal’ ricochets from the target frames.
  • Spreads the challenge across more distances – the original was very 7 / 10 metre centric.

NOTE – this will change both times and distances for the match.
