If it’s for fun, and there’s nothing behind it, why couldn’t those be removed? What about the guys that were DQ’d for a bag being too large, but seeing in this very thread that bags that were also too large have been used, and the “caretaker” acknowledged that they were too large, but still said the entries are ok? Think that sends a positive message? |

The hole point of the challenge was to do away with all the bs claims of accuracy that run rampant on the forum. Unfortunately conflicts from other parts of the forum have found their way into this thread and tend to taint when anyone calls others scores into question, especially if they do really well with a LaRue rifle.

As far as intentional misrepresentation, I can just go by what has been posted. Mike_P said that AKETHAN asked him to post a template of what a full submission should look like, but he had to use a separate target to get the caliper pic (pg 1 of the challenge). Thus, his entry wasn’t a complete entry. Dpmmn’s entry didn’t have the range pic, and was met with a lot of skepticism, by more ppl than me, and well before I knew about the submission. Those were the entries I had questions about. Seems easy to resolve, right? They didn’t meet requirements. I do have some doubts regarding entry 3, but that’s just due to the ammo. There’s also been the issue of which entries would be DQ’d due to bags, but it’s easy to see the bias there. Don’t take my word, you can look and see it. When bags the size of a buttstock are used, look into the details of the rifle. Be your own judge. |

The point is, I can sympathize with the thankless work Akethan has put in and that not everything is caught or equally outrageous.... ....Second point is: That one shooter's bag is 1.35" larger than the one listed as acceptable or someone didn't supply a photo of the range in their submission doesn't affect my life, liberty or happiness....and doesn't change me trying to improve my skills one iota... ...The fact is, there has to be a certain amount of trust involved since most submissions aren't from get togethers like the GHTF Challenge with witnesses.....Anyone could use any support they choose but submit photos of an approved rear bag.....or shoot at 75 yards but move the target to 100 for a photo op... ....In the end, no one but the shooter would know, hence my complete lack of concern for 'why is this bag approved but this one isn't and it's only one inch larger in this configuration' or a submission that may or may not follow all the form to the letter unless it's mine..... I'm not competing with anyone but myself and my sense of accomplishment or self worth isn't dependent on where my submission is on 'THE LIST'.... ....I agree with D3... Let's get back to shooting......

Some of you may or may not know that there are exceptions to the written rules. Many of you with multiple entries already know.
If you have shot with the same rifle before you do not have to provide pics of the rifle again. If you have shot at the same range before you do not have to post range pics again. If you have shot with the same rifle and range before you can just post a target pic. Entries using on target do not have to provide a caliper or ruler pic. If you are shooting at a private range and the owner/corporation does not want pics of their range/test facility posted you can email me them to me. If you specifically ask me what bags are approved I will point you to the ones on page one. That does not mean all other bags are not allowed. If I see one in a pic that I think is too big or holds the rifle for you I will not allow the entry. I will edit your entry so it fits on one line. That said all entries that are on the books are staying. You can shake your fists, stamp your feet and hold your breath until you turn blue. They are staying. If anyone wants their entries removed just let me know. |

I don't disagree with anything aside from this snippit. Why would you not include a ruler or caliper just because you are using on target. On target works off of a reference point to zero out the program. If you have a ruler in the picture or calipers anyone could easily confirm the results. I haven't been following the challenge long but when I submitted there was an error with mine and I have seen several others submit with incorrectly used software. |

Sorry IGB
*** After much gnashing of the teeth we'll set the limit of size at the largest bag on the list which is 96 C.I. Try to stay at or below this. But remember that there must be constant hand pressure to maintain hold on target. IE. Can NOT sandbag gun in place. Shooter must maintain positive control of rifle. No formed or V-shaped rests/bags. *If your entry has been added to list already it will remain. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Draconis: ...I can testify to the accuracy of that upper.....The first year my set up was subpar so I gave this one a go.....Using factory FGMM 77 gr. (I think it was) I managed to put up two groups that were under .5" MOA (around .4" IIRC)....Then I got fancy and decided I would hold under to account for the zero being slightly off (a sad attempt at showing not only tight groups but bulls as well)....This worked well for three rounds until I stopped to reset....and forgot to hold off for the fourth shot.....and the fifth..... ....In frustration at sabotaging myself, I ripped through the rest....and still shot sub MOA as a total....
....This upper is a ringer, no doubt....and easy to put up ragged holes even with factory ammo.....With tuned handloads it would be a dream..... Draconis: Larue stealth upper 18", 1/8 twist, RRA lower Nightforce 5.5-22x NP-R1. Hornady Match HPBT 75 gr.,0.807", 1.069", 1.097", 0.727", 1.037" = 4.737" / 5 = 0.9474" = .905 MOA |

I have shot the upper at each MOA shoot and have been sub MOA. I've shot for groups 4 times in 3 years. My 5th time will be in 2 months. It's nice having an upper that makes MOA stupid simple though |
