How come there has to be 6 or more competitors to shoot on champ targets



Rule 20.3.3
F open to be shot on Champ targets

[MEW]

The executive committee decided this but it may be changed in response to feedback received. The dodgers have been on this site for a couple of weeks. The club has catered for F Open in the past years but numbers have been minimal even though the prize list was the same for all grades. The club is willing to support f class open but they want support from the shooters also.

I do understand you dilema. A champ centre target can be stapled onto a fullbore target to save time changing targets, thus allowing squadding with fullbore. All the range officer has to do is tell the marker to put on a centre when the open shooter starts and then notify the marker when finished. Allievates having to put on a special target for just a few shooters

Paul,

We realize this possible. BMRC is flexible and if we receive enough feedback I believe a decision satisfactory to all can be arranged.

To Vic F-Open shooters,

Has anyone decided they will be shooting at BM on Saturday or Tuesday, or Werribee on Sunday?

I'm just going to one, and am leaning towards the Vic Police at Werribee (never shot there before). But will change if there is decent numbers expected at one of the BM Shoots.

A recent change with the Vic Police shoot at Werribee - the start time has been put back to 10am, and the 600yd range will be replaced by a second shoot at 300 (to appease the locals I believe).

Andy Drinkwater seems confident about getting decent sized fields.
