Thanks,

Just changed it. Nice catch!

Wow, it's hard to get a 10 the way we're scoring for the seated position! Also, now that I'm using wad cutters, I can see that they leave a bigger hole than the domed pellets do. So, if you're using a domed pellet (for this or the standing challenge) you really need to count all the torn/fuzzy edges, because the hole itself is smaller than the size of the pellet. 

Here's my entry for this week: 184 + 190 = 374

Greetings from the PacNorWest.

Very new here and would like to play. Can you tell me what shooting seated means? Photo?

Many Thanks.

Hi Charlie,

You sit on the ground or on a mat and support your rifle while sitting. Your legs may be crossed or open.

 

[KB7PYF]

Thanks for the fast reply! Never shot in that position so will give it a go. Looks like fun. //Charlie

Is shooting seated on a bucket and sticks allowed? Like Hunter Field Target?

I believe it was only unsupported sitting position.

 

[DeadEyeNC]

Yea, we need to define "seated". For a HFT guy like me, seated means on a bucket with a set of shooting sticks. And nothing has been said about supports- just no jacket or harness.

Thanks
Philip

It just seems that bucket and shooting sticks provide better stability than harness or shooting coat. 

But this is informal, so just shoot any way you like.

 

[DeadEyeNC]

Heck- I'll give it a try. Who knows, maybe it will be good practice in case I ever decide to switch to Open or WFTF division.

The seated position in the WFTF and Open class of Field Target does not allow sitting on a bucket. I believe (folks correct me if I'm wrong) that there is a 6 inch limit in terms of how high your butt can be off the ground. My intention for this challenge that it be in the WFTF/Open position style, but I didn't make that clear. As shutik said, this is informal. As much to get us to practice as anything else.

I wouldn't mind shooting in this, but OLD bones don't do vary well setting 6 inches off the ground. If I tried that would have to set my gun on the ground, roll over on my hands and knees and find something to crawl up after shooting to get standing again. Sylvan

No scope right?

 

[chasdicapua]

Scopes are allowed. This isn't classic 10 meter shooting. More like forced standing lane field target shooting at 10 meters.
