True. But it was that way for regular BR LONG before N50 showed up. Our targets don’t have the squares around the bullseye to allow “gimmes” like N50 if you touch the square line with your shot.Like N50

Yes, pellet class as it has been.I was just trying to be funny. Sorry.
Pellet Class 100Y rules the same as always correct? This new trial thing is for Unlimited…?
I'm fine with scoring like that.Wayne, I’ve been advocating for a scoring change for many years now, to bring the 100Y (EBR and RMAC) in line with the rest of the world.
I’d like to see for more than 25 shots (say a double shot target), to use the standard Benchrest convention and score the lower of the two shots minus 1.
Currently there is a -10 penalty for any shots over 25 in the scoring area. Last year when Monte and I scored the 100Y cards, we scored as real benchrest, not EBR/RMAC. Let’s continue to do it that way…
Yes, that's true, we can just count the shots in each section... but to me that has been an important part of the game.Not that I’m agreeing that it’s needed, but I don’t see why it would be hard to police. Currently, 25 shot limit on the scoring field and no limit on the sighters. The proposal is for a 25+5 shot limit for the entire sheet. Any more than that in either case and the competitor incurs a penalty.
I don’t want to take that away. A reason you gave for not wanting to limit sighters was that it would be difficult to police. My comment was that I did not see any difficulty in enforcing it either way. I personally don’t care much which way it’s done.… the competitor might decide it's worth it in order to check on a wind shift. It sounds like you want to take that away. …
I disagree. The WORLD and USA both use a 20 minute card. Why change? Makes no sense.Yes, that's true, we can just count the shots in each section... but to me that has been an important part of the game.
It takes time, (more time with some equipment than others), to go to sighters and return to target, but the competitor might decide it's worth it in order to check on a wind shift. It sounds like you want to take that away. Again I think let time limit be the balancer.
Some competitors finish their card in like 7 mins. and still shoot a few sighters. I'm thinking that a 15 min. limit is the right spot, especially if we need to have more relays.
Sorry Scott, I was talking to Centercut with that commentI don’t want to take that away. A reason you gave for not wanting to limit sighters was that it would be difficult to police.

Martin, I'd like for all the match venues to use the same plugs if possible, please send me a link so I can order whatever Robert and EBR is using too.As a side note in benchrest scoring, I thought robert told me scoring on ebr was with a .35 plug. I am having some made up so need to verify. Thx.
I'm not sure what they are using, but I am having a local machinist make a couple sets I designed Here is the one I am going to order. They area bout $80 a set, but they will last forever though.Martin, I'd like for all the match venues to use the same plugs if possible, please send me a link so I can order whatever Robert and EBR is using too.

Now I find that out! I googled all over for plugs that were .35 diam. and in complete pellet sizes and nothing ever came up! Oh, well, these are aluminum and will last forever - if I don't lose them!Ya know they sell em for 1/2 that on the N50 website?
