Match
When:
November 11, 2007 to February 3, 2008
What:
10 Week Sporter Air Rifle Postal Match (extra weeks
are scheduled to allow for holidays or poor weather)
Where:
Your own facilities
Who:
Any 4-H Shooting Sports Program in New York, New
Jersey, and Vermont. All members aged 6-19 actively
participating in your program. Counties may impose
stricter guidelines.
Why:
Friendly competition between counties without the
hassles of traveling, and ranking for our 4-H youth
within the state
How:
Shoot a 3-position match each week at your facilities
using the AR-5/10 (one shot per bull) or the AR-5/5
(two shots per bull) official targets. Shoot ten
shots in Prone, ten shots in Standing, and ten shots
in Kneeling positions. Follow the rules set forth
in the 2006-2008
National Standard Three-Position Air Rifle Rules,
especially Section
8.0 Scoring Targets. When
using the AR-5/5 targets, it is perfectly acceptable
to use a separate sighting target for sighting in.
When utilizing this method, reduce the shooting
time for score by 5 minutes, and allow the shooters
5 minutes for their sighters.
This
will be a Sporter Air Rifle Postal Match only, so
only the following rifles will be allowed: Daisy
753/853/953, Daisy 888,887, Crosman 2000, Daisy
XSV40 with the cheek-plate and butt-plate in the
neutral position, and Air Arms T-200 that has a
non-adjustable cheek-plate and butt-plate.
Also, the Daisy 845 Mentor may be used by shooters
less than 12 years old.
Each
week, e-Mail your scores to bc4hss@dishmail.net
no later than Wednesday. If you take a by, due to
a holiday or bad weather, e-mail
me and let me know. Just remember, we need to
have 10 weeks worth of scores by February 3, 2008.
Include each shooter’s Name, Age, Scores for each
position, and Rifle Model used. Shooters will be
ranked by age groups (6-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15+),
and the top 4 scores for each week will be used
for your tea m score ranking. The shooter’s age
will be their age on November 11, 2007; there will
be no changing of age class during the match season.
Final results will be posted on March 1, 2008 at
the
New
York State 4-H Shooting Sports (Air Rifle) State
Championship.
New shooters are always welcome, so if you get a
new member during the season, just add them in as
we go along. If a shooter misses a week, and is
unable to make it up, we will use their lowest scores
to fill the void for their individual ranking. However,
team scores will only come from the top four scores
shot for the week.
