[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 2236085, member: 69478"] So I have been thinking about this for a little while and I have taken some time to put my idea into words. Before I start, I just want to say this is kind of a big thing to try and start up and I’m not sure how I could even go about this, but I figured I’d ask you guys about it first. Here it is. I want to do a hunting style competition that is as close to real life scenarios as you could have while in a controlled environment. You will be limited on rifle weight, must range your targets, there will be a power factor involved, and the targets will be life size wooden silhouettes with steel targets for the vitals (except on coyotes and woodchucks.) I’ll outline the details down below. My end goal would be to use this match to better our abilities as hunters and everyone would learn and benefit from it. Targets will be from 50 yards to 1000+ yards. You will shoot standing, sitting, prone, and off natural objects like logs, stumps, and rocks. You don’t have to be able to shoot long range to hit targets at this match. Imagine a 3D archery course but using a hunting rifle. You will not be given any ranges to the targets and the spotter can only tell you your impacts and will not be allowed to give you windage or elevation corrections or tell you where the targets are. This is similar to NRL Hunter but with the emphasis being on actual silhouettes and actual vital sized steel plates. Less PRS style shooting and more real world scenarios. I wouldn’t want this to be a gear/equipment/money race. I want the average guy to be able to have the chance to be competitive without spending thousands on gadgets and gear. Please let me know what you think and what you would add, change, or want to see. Thanks! 3x Elk Targets 5x Deer Targets 3x Pronghorn Targets 3x Bear Targets 3x Coyote Targets 2x Bison Targets 5x Woodchuck Bonus Targets 24 Total Targets 101 total possible points 1st round hit = 3 points 2nd round hit = 1 point Bonus Targets one shot only hit = 5 points Rifle, rear bag, and front rest/bipod must weight less than 15lbs combined Hunter Class must be above Power Factor Weight x Velocity = 425,000 Example: 156 Berger x 2750fps = 429,000 Varmint Class Any power factor under 425,000 [/QUOTE]
