    Happy to announce the return of Bullseye 360 after the plauge to Midlands.


    We have pencilled in the first Saturday of every month as the competition dates. Start time 10 AM

    I propose to run the competitions on a league basis. If we start on 7th May then there

    will be 7 competitions through to November and the proposal is that the shooter's best

    5 results will count for their final score. This will allow time for missed competitions

    due to holidays etc. The proposed scoring system is to award the person with the

    highest score 1st place 20 points, 2nd place 19 points, 3rd place 18 points etc. We hope

    to award medals to the league winners.


    Bullseye 360 is open to all, inc non-members of Midlands. It's a "Run what ya got!" competition for ALL CF and RF pistols and rifles.IRRESPECTIVE of action. Air guns also welcome.

    You need 2x mags of 5 rounds for .22 cal,and of 6 rounds for any cal above.22. Sights can be anything you want. Slings and supports are the only things NOT allowed.

    It's shot from prone, sitting/kneeling and standing with rifle, and various distances, single and 2 handed in pistol.

    Hope to see you there.

    Curious about this competition, what are the distances like(broadly speaking, or a range) for the rifle(RF & CF) and pistol?

    What targets are used(paper, steel, etc)?

    Would a bipod be classed as a support?

    Never forget, the end goal is zero firearms of any type.

    Rifle

    prone 50 yds 12 rounds CF or 10 rds RF in 8 mins

    Sitting/kneeling 30 yds same ammo count 4 mins

    Standing 20 yds " " " 2 mins



    Handgun CF 2x 6 rds RF 2x5 rds

    8mins @ 30 yds double handed

    4 mins@ 25 yds double handed

    2 mins split between the 20 and 10-yard positions single hand 1 mag @ each distance.


    Bipod, monopod,slings, kneeing a large mag or using large mag as ground rest, etc are all a NO! You can keep the sling on your rifle or use the bipod if the gun is down after shooting a string to not let it be in the dirt.But they are prohibited as any sort of support aid while shooting.

    Same targets are used for both pistol and rifle and all calibres

    If you can do the job, do it. If you can't do the job, just teach it. If you really suck at it, just become a union executive or politician.
