Side Match

[tomcatt51]

I run a series of PPC matches for our club during the winter. It has a .22 RF class. I have 2 "side matches". One is for .22's. A B-27 target at 10 yds, 10 rds.
Start is "muzzle on the bench", basically "low ready", with the muzzle at waist level. "From the beep" you bring the gun up and shoot 10 rds. We use a shot timer. Time is "from the beep" to your last shot.
Any .22LR handgun. Semi-auto or revolver, iron or optics or laser. Run what you brung.
Scoring is:
X ring 5 points
10 ring 4 points
9 ring 3 points etc.
We go by "hit factor", points divided by time. Use a shot timer. "Beep" to last shot.
We just shot our first match with this as a side match. Our shooters like it. Seems to be a good balance of speed and accuracy and being .22RF and only 10 rds it's cost effective.
Anyone want to try this?
I have a fairly "small pool" to get results from. I'm curious what "hit factors" regular shooters can shoot.
Anyone interested? Consider it a "postal match"?

Not to hijack yer thread , but a few years back , I suggested to the board and membership that we add some just for fun 'side matches' to our usual Sunday morning NRA Service Rifle and Hi-Power matches. Tactical rifle , M1 Carbine , levergun , deer rifle , slug gun , bolt action sporting rifle and a few others. No points , loose rules , just for fun.

It went over well. Got a few guys out who normally wouldn't come out. Then the match guys would let them try their Garands , M1As , AR-15s.

Handguns weren't overlooked either. We had service pistol , service revolver , single action , pocket pistol , percussion revolver , etc.
