Please take note that 00 Buck is required for one stage and is only allowed on that stage. Also if you haven't purchased a banquet ticket you still can. Check SMM3gun.com for details. We do have a prize table at the banquet and there are multiple firearms given away. -ld What kind of targets will we need to engage on the 00 stage? I believe they are all paper. Of course stages/targets/etc... are subject to change. -ld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Note the change to the shot size rule, effective this year... birdshot is restricted to No. 6 or smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Also round counts posted and other info updated. Please take note that 00 Buck is required for one stage and is only allowed on that stage. I have two questions for match officials after reading the rules. 1. 6.1.7, Is a single hole considered to be a "significant piece visibly detached" or not? 2. 00 buck, Are you allowing flight control wads or not? Since it only says 00 buck, may I use 9 and 12 pellet 00 buck? Will the best 2 hits for 00 buck be scored, or some other method. Thanks much!

If you can see a pellet made a hole in the static clay, then a visible piece has been detached (i.e. a piece of the clay is visibly missing). We intended no change to the previous way of scoring... it's still "one BB hole = broken". The "significant" part pertains more to flying clays... basically, we want to see a chunk come off, not just dust.

Paper targets will be scored like pistol targets - one A/B or two hits anywhere (wad holes don't count, though, of course. ). Steel to fall. Basically, make sure you know your pattern out to, say, 20 yards. Edited January 13, 2011 by StealthyBlagga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlamoShooter Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) I think the horse is dead , but. the buck shot thing and ( Wad Holes do Not count ) So a shooter hits the target with one buckshot hole in the C zone and 3" away is the wad hole. How can it be said that a 00 buck shot did not go through the wad hole. Don't tell me this has never came up Take this as a learning RO , so that When I have to make that call at another shoot the ruling will hold water Edited January 15, 2011 by AlamoShooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12ga guys may only use 00 buck though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically we want to avoid ricochets off the steel targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truegent2004 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) I feel confident that I got in since I mailed my app on day #1 and my check was cashed, but when are official confirmations being sent out?

Fullauto_Shooter Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 got my confirmation on 12/17. you should contact polle. I just realized that I never got an official confirmation either, but my check was cashed in mid-DEC. Is polle the BEnos "username" of the match director?

RiggerJJ Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Polle is the stats and registration expert for SMM3G. send her an email, (her email address is on the website). Dan is the MD, although he does drop in on the benos universe once ina while, it would be best to just send Polle an email... jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just googled the SMM3G appllication and sent them both a note. As I mentioned, my check was cashed so I'm hoping that's a good sign.

rcollier Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 My checked was cashed also and never received a confirmation from Polle. She responded within a couple of days of my email and had been very busy with other matches and was very apologetic. A few of us must have slipped between the cracks.
