European Rifle championships


Recommended Posts

On the IPSC global village they are showing tentative dates for the match to 13-17 July, 2009

Those of you wanting to shoot an International match this could be a good one to make.

I'd really like to see the U.S. field a standard and open team. I think there are enough for standard so you scoped rifle guys need to get organized and form up a team. IPSC rifle is different than what many U.S. rifle shooters are used to but it's a good experience. I expect that this will be a good match.

too add the KN3's comments you scoped guys would need to be shooting in Open, there is no Tac Optic. Generally the recognized divisions would be, Open, Standard, and Manual Standard. I am not aware of any others.

I will try to add more relevant info when it becomes available.

Yes Stefan, Like a Bolt gun with Iron sights, only it doesn't have to be a bolt, it can be a pump, slide action, bolt...etc. it just can't load it'sself. They also have Manual Open which would be the above with an optic. Now before you start thinking U.S. type "bolt" shooting remember you have to shoot the very saame course of fire with the same amount of hits per target as the semi,s. If you go this route I recomend something with LOTS of capacity and MAJOR 320p.f. KurtM

In the past on National matches, those in manual division, have only had to shoot one round on paper (and steel to fall). Otherwise it would take a long time (on a long course)

The rules:

9.5.1 Unless otherwise specified in the written stage briefing, scoring paper targets must be shot with a minimum

of one round each, with the best hit to score. Scoring metal targets must be shot with a minimum of one

round each and must fall or otherwise react to score. Frangible targets must break with a visible piece

missing or separated from the original target to be counted for score.

So I think it likely those in Manual need one hit and those in Semi will need two. But we'll need to wait and see.

And hopefully there will be enough shooters registered in Manual Standard and Open.

Most prefer Semi-Auto Standard or Open.

Most current rules can be found here: http://www.ipsc.org/rules.htm

I think they are looking at around 20 stages and 300-350 shooters in the main match

I'll see if I can find out if they have made a decision on a date.

It has been said that Manual action divisions require 1 hit per papar target.

Manual Action Standard has 6 round magazine limit.

limiting it to 6 rounds, (Manual Div.) must really suck.

there are so many other options besides bolt gun that would allow more ammo on the gun easily.

The 6 round limit in Standard is so people can compete with M98 and other more "normal" bolt guns.

Same reason they limit the Revolver div to 6 rounds. They dont want one or two rifles to become the dominate ones.

In Open you can do what you want.

No link as the website for the match haven't been published.

The match will be held outside the city of Kongsberg, at a military range.

You can check the website for this years Nordic championship in rifle which was held at the same range: http://www.silvermountainmatch.com/

A lot should be similar to the match next year.

Distances will probably be out to 300-350meters. Doubt they will go further though it is possible.

The IPSC rifle divisions are:

1. Semi Auto Open (SAO)

2. Semi Auto Standard (SAS)

3. Manual Action Open (MAO)

4. Manual Action Standard (MAS)

In Manual Action Standard maximum 6 rounds on each magazine is allowed at any time on the COF

There is no magazine capacity restrictions on Manual Action Open.

What I have heard match is going to be held at this location: http://www.silvermountainmatch.com/ same as this year Nordic Rifle Championship.

We were there with my wife and will be there next year ERC match also. Very nice area and small town. :)
