Looks cool, think I may have to look into this. Be a good game for a little friendly competition between buds at the range.

gonna try it tomorrow!

I scored 6 or 11; depending how you count the 5pt target. It was just inside the circle but the paper ripped into the black. I figure the 5pt is null and void by the rules.

It was loads of fun; had a ball, wish I had carried out more targets.

Definately gonna try again.

Shaun I believe its just .22's at 25yrds, can you imagine trying to put five nagants into the 1/2" circle?

Cartridge should be .22 caliber, but centerfire varmint calibers could be used for 100-yard distances.
Any type action or rifle may be used but to be squeaky clean on the rules should be limited to 10 lbs, 2 oz.
Sights can be scope, open iron, peep, laser, the Hubble telescope, whatever.
Positions can be prone, sitting, kneeling, offhand, benchrest, over-the-shoulder backwards, standing on your head, etc.
Distance can be either 50 or 25 yards.

actually its possible if using match ammo with a nagant

Oh Im sure it is; but not by me!:smash:

Hey give it a try and let me know how you do. A nagant is about 3/8" wide - give or take. Can you imagine how difficult that would be.

I would try .223 and maybe even 6.5 but anything bigger would definately be out of my range of skill at this time.

Although if I get as much practice this spring as I hope to, maybe that'll change. I'm still adjusting to my eyes; I wasn't shooting much during the years they were changing, and scopes are a new thing to me.
