I'm going to say no on that if you just use the front part that is okay bipods are fine

Hello,

How many targets for each position do we need to submit?

Chances are I'd like to try all of them.

I got my Appleseed Rifleman badge thingy, but God only knows how as they had me shooting in some positions I'd never used before.

I think it was just the fact that I was shooting around 1000 rimfire rounds per week at that point in time and really only had to adapt to the positions, which included standing, kneeling/sitting (depending on your physical ability; being 25yds I chose kneeling, I think), and prone unsupported.

Prone unsupported was new to me and I just hammered a deep indentation into the ground with my elbow and had me a nice monopod! :D

Hey, how many rifles are allowed? I have the pet Mosin, of course, but I wouldn't mind shooting the 88/05, which is pillar bedded and barrel-floated from the factory (via a sleeve). Not real good for general issue, but excellent for precision, especially back in 1892 when it was built! :D

How about rimfire? I have a BTVS that I did Appleseed with after earning the patch using a semi-auto, iron-sighted 10/22 (which I bought for the match and sold afterward!) I just wanted to shoot it with a bolt action and see if I could score well. I did, but I also think it had to do with the 'scope. Couldn't feel my hand after that day, though, working the bolt like I had to!

Standing on the big ones, reload; kneeling or sitting on the medium ones with a reload in there someplace; then prone on the small ones with a reload in there (of course). The reloads were designed around the M1 Garand's 8 rounds.

The rifles I'm considering for this postal match:

I used this in pre-modified form for my second rimfire at Appleseed in '09. I know I can shoot with it and it sees squirrel duty out to 100 yards. Is it allowed, being a .22 rimfire?

Image
Image

Image

This is my Mosin. There are (now) many like it, but this one is mine!

Image

This one is the wild card, my Gewehr 88/05. I shot it for groups once, if I recall, and I think I was shooting around 1.5" at 100 yards with my bad eyes, no glasses. Been a while.

Are all these allowed, or is the rimfire disallowed?

How about my sidelock muzzleloader with patch and ball? :D

Regards,

Josh

I shot the match today. I sent target pics and scores to Paladin.

I thought it would be good to put a bit here about this match.

This was the first day of Summer, and I have Fridays off this year. The other days of the week I'm booked either with teaching, preparing, or grading. Sometimes I sleep. It will be a lucrative but exhausting summer.

So I stole a morning--just after sunrise.

Wonderful weather, and there were only a couple old farts like myself there.

I used my 8mm 1943 Turkish Mauser long rifle with 1941 Turkish military surplus 8mm Mauser ammo. I had two pierced primers, one split case, and two hang fires. Luckily the good ol' Turk--I call him my Old Turk--is prepared for hang fires. In this photo you'll see a fired case, a primer that was pierced and then the primer fell out of the pocket, a live round, and the slot in the cocking piece that I used to re cock the bolt after the hang fires. Both hang fires fired the second time.

Image


As it so happens, the best case to use to recock the rifle is a 7.62x54r Rooskie case. Ah, Germans. Arrogant bastards. ;-) There was one on the ground next to me.

Here is the Old Turk.

Image


He is pretty scuffed. Here is his front sight.

Image


You can see it has been there, done that, and has worn out the t-shirt he got in 1945.

Naturally, being a Turk, nothing is matching.

Standing was toughest. I got my best view of the sights prone supported on my elbows. This was fun because I usually shoot with scopes, old eyes being what they are.

Shot the match today myself, had an interesting experience. Like CD, my toughest is definitely unsupported. In retrospect however, I am kicking myself for not using reloads for all three- I had a very good experience with the Lapua rounds prior, but for my last shots on paper today with the bipod, turned in the best groupings of the day (Glass). Had a .84 inch grouping at 100 yards out of the AR with three rounds, 1.67 inch with all 5 (and that was because I adjusted my sight a bit, not because the rifle varied. Kind of surprised that it could turn in a group like that, I wasn't expecting it.
