I'm for allowing any ammo.

If we were to set up a competition for WWII pistols how do you plan on dealing with the 1911?

[KeithT1967]

Shooting better than.. what?

[goat roper]

I could shoot my AK, but we would need bigger targets.

This sounds like a lot of fun just wish i had a Mosin

so what are the final rules and targets?

[eagle4g63]

keitht1967, I think I know what you meant now!!LOL as in how to deal with them as in classifying not how to deal with them like they are beater than anything else!!!HAHA

I guess you have a point didn't think about them being made currently with way more improvements done than the old days. I guess we just have to have a little faith in the guys to be honest about WHAT they are shooting. Come on now we are trying to just have fun and be "friendly" about it.

The rules: well the OP wanted to just be Mosins, and not trying to take over his idea, I'm not sure what they are.

I think everyone is so far in agreement to make it as simple as possible so as more guys will do it this time.

I was just suggesting the other options of letting more than just Mosins in on it to widen the group as we have tried just a Mosin shoot-while not bad it didn't go too far.

I'm always game to go have fun shooting what ever I have!! And I do have Mosins, heck I even have a Nagant revolver to keep the pistol thing the same way!!

Someone just make a couple of polls, finalize on friday, shoot starts on Sat? A catagory poll and a target poll. Im too lazy to read through the thread right meow.

[R5CYA]

unless tobpnr has any objections i'm gonna run with this. he did ask if anyone wanted to give it legs.

i'm still looking for a bigger target for iron sights. i found some that you tape four sheets together to make the target. i'll print it out in the am and see if it's good.

i'll start a new thread with a poll and we'll see what happens. we can start as soon as we come to a final decision and let the contest run through the last day of march. if we get enough interest, we'll have one in april as well.

[R5CYA]

how about a koala target? LOL!

Exactly. For example, My 1911 is built on the 1947 GI specs but I'm pretty sure no 1947 era build had an air gauged bushing, Novak sights and shot 2" groups at 25 yards from a sandbag. Admittedly its a 38 Super, but that is a PRE WW2 chambering for the 1911.

How can you justify limiting the 1911's to actual unimproved WW2 Era guns if you're allowing Mosins with machinegun barrels, Timney triggers, modern scopes, and handloaded Ammo?

FWIW, IMHO I think the idea of a competition is great but unless you get all the guns to the same range on the same day its meaningless as an accuracy comparison. What I'd like to see is a breakdown by accuracy.

Say... 1/2 MOA, 1 MOA, Etc. To get your results posted on a given list you have to shoot at an agreed graduated target, supply a clear picture of the target to the judges, and a list of what you were shooting (gun, modifications, ammo, distance).

I'm a member of a car club where you have to show a time slip, with a certain ET or lower, and a picture of the car with the correct matching window number at the strip the slip is from to even become a member.

i'm thinking of going with this target. it's 6" so iron sights at 100 yards should be good with it. if anyone has a link to a better one, let me know.

[eagle4g63]

R5CYA: I'll agree to that, let's just run with it and get this thing going already, my trigger finger is itching. I'm fine with whatever target, this last one is fine by me. I'm not that great of a shot so what ever I am aiming at it doesn't matter I just want to have fun.

Start a new post -poll for classes and lets just keep it easy enough on ammo so not to exclude anyone with range restrictions!

[tobnpr]

Go for it guys!
I just wanna shoot....

I'm in for whatever is decided.

[Dylandance]

I'm going to the range today. So shoot at each target 10 times?
