The Plainsman Shoot...
The Plainsman Shoot itself is a variation of several different competitions that normally would have been shot over distances ranging from 500 to 1000 mtrs using single shot full bore rifles and so what we’ve done is effectively `scaled down` thus allowing us to `get the feel` of long range but using single shot carbines in pistol calibres over much reduced distances.
It is a competition held over 6 months…April-September and has a match score and an aggregate.
Equipment needed:-
Single shot carbine barrel length no more than 22ins. Calibre .30 min.
Pair of X sticks or shooting stick.
35rds. Ammunition.
Shooting glasses and ear defenders.
Equipment optional:-
Spotting scope.
Shot timer.
