CSR Rifle Suitability

[Cad Monkey]

I have used the AI for a mini practical organised by one of the clubs I shoot with. Our chairman organises and runs the Practical Shoot for the Police Sport UK event at Bisley in September, and we test the course of fire as a club event. The shoot is conducted at 300 and usually prone supported, but we have on occasion shot unsupported as well.

I believe the last PSUK practical match shoot in September '16 was won using an AR15 (.223) by a margin of some 30 odd points, it goes to show that these rifles are more than adequate for precision shooting.

The propsals for rule changes were put in place to tighten up some areas and relax others. There will be no pleasing everybody, there never is.

Which rules have been relaxed, out of interest?

[Maggot]

The following rules have been relaxed

1. Only part of the range needs to be flooded over 50% of its surface area to be suitable for CSR

Previously it had to be 100% coverage with hidden potholes. The NRA were having problems getting the hoses to reach.

2. When shooting in hard frost conditions, the fatter of the pair should shoot prone first, this means that more of the ground is thawed out for the thinner firer.

Previously this did not matter (Sorry Andy ).

3. It is no longer considered bad sportsmanship to "Snigger" or "Laugh uncontrollably" when another competitor falls foul of 1 or 2

Previously you were only allowed to snigger

4. The maximum number of lazy b****** crammed into or hanging off of one Landrover will be limited to 15....

Dave clapclap

5. When Dan the Man is present, thou shalt not nick brass

You wont be able to anyway, he is too quick but just in case you were thinking about it.....

6. All firers need to be able to count to 10

This is a new rule allowing derisory comments to be made accurately and in unison when you get 11 exposures.

Just turn up, find out and have a laugh Speculate all you like but the best way to find out is to shoot and many are.

Rumor has it that if any more turn up they will be ploughing up Stickledown and running the urban contact left to right

That doesn't make sense though, I was paired with Cad Monkey in December and I shot first

I'm stuffed if I'm paired with Robin then

Typo, missing the key bit

First time out I'd recommend you use your own rifle... Something familiar. AI is probably best in practical optic but not mandatory 4.5lb trigger and scope 4.5 max in SO....

I thought the 4.5 trigger pull and 4.bowl max scope was just for the Service Optic class?

Fat is good insulation, scrawny gits warm the ground better.

I had to laugh Shugie, on the first detail in Dec when everyone stood up there were all these little dark outlines in the frost.....not sure quite why everyone got down that early but there you go.....

I'm about 35 miles from Bisley, it's p*** it down, and I'm going to have my first go at CSR tomorrow afternoon. I may need a snorkel.
