“Man v Man” at the AAW
Taking advantage of appropriate range opportunity and time allocated to the AAW it has been decided to run an afternoon Man v Man competition on the Saturday afternoon of the competition.
An informal affair and in some ways experimental and just a bit of fun to round the season off. However it will be run ‘proper’ and in line with what would be expected with a man v man event of old.
Open to any 22 rifle or 22 pistol. For the time being the different gun types will shoot against each other however if we get enough interest I would aim to separate them so please express any interest and gun type as soon as possible. Price is expected to be circa £4.00
So….. the procedure as below. This to be shot on the wide bay of Butt Zero.
Five targets, the three furthest, width wise, to be engaged first, compulsory reload engage the fourth target (next to the stop plate) then the stop plate.
Best of three runs
The reload before engaging the fourth and then the stop target is compulsory regardless of any other reload.
Start position, gun on side laid flat on the table slide forward on an empty chamber magazine inserted. No part of the grip or trigger may be off of the back of the table.
Hands on either side of gun raising the flags. No part of the person to be touching the gun. The flags must be flat on the table.
All ammo / magazines must be on the person or on the table, any kit dropped onto the floor is no longer available in that run. A dropped gun whether on to the table or the floor is a disqualification.
The reload must be with a different magazine taken from either the person or the table. Conjoined mags can be used but for the purpose of the compulsory reload will count as the same mag.
Procedurals:
- Shooting plates in wrong order
- Shooting opponents plate / plates
There will be no change in sides between runs. Given that there is no order of engagement of the first three plates there is no difference between the sides.
Target are 8″ by 5″ between 10 and 18 metres dstant. Unlimited number of magazines loaded with unlimited amounts of ammo. All targets must fall to count.
All of the targets are remotely reset so we expect to able to run a full16 shooter J ladder in about one hour.
Targets are “soft” , made of corridex and second hand rubber matting, the round passes straight through and impacts the butts without deviation so should be OK for any range.
