[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 2546777, member: 33046"] Its no secret that its just hard to get a 1k shoot, or any shoot organized and just as hard to find a 1k range. It may help to work to get a larger organization involved for support. Even then it'll likely take considerable time. It took over 6yrs to overcome "modern inlines" at Friendship and the NMLRA, and now there are many matches for modern inlines and it appears to be growing. I have ... heard ... from a couple at the NMLRA that it could be a possibility to entertain SML shooters. It'll never happen without support from both inside and outside the organization. There's a trial long range shoot this coming weekend at Camp Atterbury. Ranges will be 800, 900 and 1,000yds. However, there's no SML allowed. It is only BP or substitutes and with BH209, there's a maximum of 120grs VOLUME. This trial is being held in conjunction with a BPCR shoot. Here's the bad part............... Unless something has changed since I last talked with the match director, there's only 4 of us who have signed up to shoot modern inline rifles in the match. That said, there's no way that only 4 shooters will ever convince them or the NMLRA to include SML. I can guarantee, all 4 of us shooting next weekend would support a SML match. These custom rifles will all shoot BH209 and do it extremely accurately. If some of the SML guys would start getting involved in some of these BP or substitute shoots, it would be much easier to get SML shoots organized. And yes, how one shoots will be different for most. SML shooters are primarily bench shooters using both front and rear rests or, full rifle rests. Some very expensive. On the other side, I know of only one match that allows a rear rest shooting to 500yds. Mostly its only a front rest, bipod or cross sticks. Next weekend is cross sticks.
