I’d be all for it. I’d probably compete mostly in smallbore, but could do centerfire without too much wallet pain. I have an indoor 100yd range not far from me, so thats no big deal. Only problem is that I don’t really have any CMP service rifle type rifles. Oh teh noes, I would have to buy another gun…

[...] of ePostal matches, Sebastian at Snowflakes in Hell is floating the idea of a gun blog rifle league. He’s got a poll going to gauge interest, so if getting involved in a rifle league [...]

I’d love to participate, smallbore and centerfire. I’m only about 25 miles from open desert, can range out farther than I can accurately shoot, and handload the .308 so I’m good for either monthly or quarterly. Great idea!

Being able to shoot a Service Rifle match with one of my No4 Enfields would be epically cool, for starters.

Use the 25 yard (meter) AQT targets, or, use regular 8-inch bulls for 100 yards, and 4 inch ones at the same distance to simulate 200 yards. For extra credit, use two 4-inch bulls in a figure 8 to utilize the ballistic trajectory, ie, aim at the bottom one to score on the top one when the rear sight is set for 200 yards.

I have a 100yd range on my property and several capable firearms. I’m in for either option.

I’d need a lot more information on how the competition works…

I’d be interested in something that would give me some sort of incentive to get in practice time with my boomershoot rifle. So, count me as a vote for a 100-yard single-shot centerfire category. Or longer. (My range goes up to 300 yards but not everyone has that distance available).

I keep meaning to shoot some of Mr. Completely’s handgun matches with that rifle at significant range just to see what the results look like…

Iron sights only, right? Does a red-dot make it an F-class rifle? My club’s range is 200-yards and we shoot scaled-down targets for 300 and 600 yards – how do I translate them to 100-yard targets? :-)

I’ve been shooting (modified) High Power matches with my K-31 lately, and I bought a .22LR to practice with in order to keep costs down. I would participate once a season in a CMP type match, but I would compete monthly in a small-bore setup, as it’s no biggie to drop $0.02 a round, but $0.50 a round (for the 7.5×55) is puching my budget as it is.
