Kids Postal Shoot Rules
Who Is Eligable:
Any 24Hour Campfire Members child covered by the two listed age groups. Member must be an actual parent or legal guardian of the kids entered. You may enter grandchildren with actual parents written permission, submit this with the Target.
How To Enter Contest
THERE IS NO time limit to enter, you may enter the day of the deadline as long as your entrants targets are postmarked by the deadline...!!!
Step 1.... Post on this thread how many kids you plan to allow to compete and state their ages. NO names unless it is a "nickname" with no reference to their actual personal info.
Step 2.... Simply enter the contest with completed Targets, one per entrant. To observe anonymity of the kids (and yourself if necessary), write on each entrants Target your Campfire handle AND a "nickname" your child can be referred to as in public.
For example; I would for my 10 year old son, write on his target...
"Wildswalker"-member "Wildswalker Junior age 10"-shooter.
I'm sure most of you can be more creative than that with a nickname....
It would not be necessary to register your child as a member of the Campfire
Safety on the Range...Safety on the Net :
On the Range.... You as a Parent and a Member of the 24Hr crowd will be the sponsor of your kids you enter. You must be present during the shooting of the contest. You must enforce proper Range Safety Practices this includes eye and ear protection.
On The Net....To practice anonymity with our kids we will refrain from posting pictures regarding the contest. Follow the above entry guidelines and your child will safely remain anonymous.
Age Groups:
Group A....ages 5 thru 9
Group B....ages 10 thru 13
Targets:
10 inch paper plates with a one inch black dot drawn in the exact center
( Note : No foam type paper plates, must be paper to endure folding and mailing in an envelope)
Suggestion: place cardboard behind the paper plate to allow better scoring of holes.
Suggestion: to make your black dot, trace a 25 cent piece and fill in with a magic marker...
Shooting Targets:
Both Groups:
Turn in only one Target per shooter. You may "Do Over" as much as you like, but only turn in one target per shooter to be scored, a Target must contain all shots listed next.
Age Group A:
Targets for age group A shall contain 10 shots each, in other words, Dad...make sure junior puts 10 shots in the target...don't worry about misses... shoot 'til there's 10 in the target!!
Age Group B:
Targets for age group B shall contain 15 shots.... missed shots require a "Do Over"
How Targets get Scored (both age groups):
General Scoring....size of the group is recorded by me on the target measuring center to center at the widest two shots, smallest group wins
Breaking Ties....a tie will be broken by measuring from the center of those two shots to the to the exact center of the target, shortest distance breaks the tie
Judging The Targets:
I will do a preliminary judgment then mail the targets to a second judge for confirmation
Sights:
Kids may shoot scopes or by choice iron sights...Remember this is for fun and for getting the kids out shooting!!!!
Caliber:
.22 Rimfire....long rifle ammo of your choice, you may shoot shorts, CB's ect if so desired
Ranges and Postitions For Age group A:
Age group A must shoot 10 shots at 25 yards from a bench rest, sand bags recommended
** all shots on same target
Ranges and Positions for Age Group B:
Age group B must shoot 5 shots prone at 25 yards, 5 shots sitting at 25 yards and 5 shots standing at 25 yards with a rest ie; crossed sticks.
** all shots on same target
*Note on shooting distance: sorry if this is a problem for some...hopefully the time alotment for this event will allow everyone to find a place to shoot 25 yards safely
Cost to enter:
NONE, other than your cost incured by purchasing paper plates, postage ect....
SMALL DONATIONS would be accepted to cover the cost of the PO Box used but not necessary, submit with Targets....
*If this goes well the PO box will be a permanent fixture to facilitate future Kids Postal Shoots!!
Deadline To Enter A Target:
All targets to be entered for score must be postmarked no later than June 15th, 2006.
I strongly suggest not mailing Targets in before June 1st, this will help me consolidate scoring of Targets into a two week time frame....thanks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
Prizes:
Trophy for the winner of Age Group A
Trophy for the winner of Age Group B
Where To Mail Targets:
To be announced by the end of this week...........
FINAL NOTE: There is a huge alotment of time and huge leniency towards how many Targets are shot to get a "good one". Taking advantage of the "do overs" will increase your childs shooting time and score, thereby accomplishing the purpose of this contest!!!
[color:"red"] GOOD LUCK, BE SAFE AND HAPPY SHOOTING!!!!! [/color]
