Vintage Rifle Matches @ Ikes

<< < (2/3) > >>

Wildgoose:
Seems we do have a misunderstanding. The confusion may have come from the statement that after sight in and the match starts there would be no more sighter's. That would be sighter shots and not meant to say that spotting could not be done. It's OK to use an optical device to check hits between shots. I will be sure to make that clear at the next shoot. There may be someone else who also misunderstood this point. Like I have said this is a work in progress so keep the questions or comments coming.

RobertH:
and here's another ?:  is using a bayonet on a mosin really get you better accuracy?  i mean i've read that they were zeroed using the bayonet, so will this help me or will i just look stupid at the range?

oh and another, where can i get a chamber flag?  or can i just make one with a unused zip tie and duct tape painted orange?

oh and yet another... i'm not a member, so whats the cost?

monkeyboy:
Robert H, If the bayonet helps,go for it,if not you can always stab holes in the target,preferably in the 10 ring! Chamber flags should be available at the range and the cost of the match is $10.00, member or not.----Mike.

Wildgoose:
Robert H,
If you show up shooting a Mosin with the bayo on it and win the match I guarantee ya that every one of the Ruskie Rifle Brigade will be so equipped at the next match!

bkoenig:
Your Mosin may or may not shoot better with the bayonet.  Only one way to find out, we have plenty of sight in time before the match so you can try it both ways.

I don't think the type of chamber flag matters as long as it's visible.  I have some I made from a wooden ball painted yellow and a length of weed trimmer line.

The match cost is $10, the same for members or non-members.
