Dangerous game match simulates a charge best we can.
That's why I had specified .40 caliber and above, stopping rifle "type", no light loads.
Two 8" round "Shoot-n-See" targets pasted onto the backs of paper plates, then stapled onto the target base.
One target at 35 yards, the second at 15 yards, slightly offset from the first.
Shooter begins with rifle shouldered but muzzle pointed down in the "low ready" or "guard" position as if looking for the charge.
At the signal, the shooter fires two shots, first at the 35 yard target, then the second shot at the 15 yard target.
Scores are determines by shortest time AND accuracy. Missing as fast as you can looks good, but you lose, just as in life.
Accuracy trumps time if times are tied.
Yes, this would favor double rifles, but then most PH's favor them for that reason, too.
Perhaps double rifles get a separate match? Or a shoot-off between the fastest repeater and the double guns?
