Unreal!

How are those actually measured? Surely not with calipers.

That looks like my "score" targets ( one shot each) amazing for "group" shooting! Holy Cow!

Thats pretty amazing.

Butch, can you tell me the typical weight of an unlimited gun?
Thanks

6MMWASP, mine weighs just under 75 Lbs.

I need to find a photo of the device. i gave mine a few years ago to a club in Michigan. It is a device that mounts to a caliper. It has 3 circular reticles for 22,6mm, and 30 cal. While looking through an attached magnifying piece you center the the circular reticle over the bullet hole to one side and open the calipers until it was centered over the furthest bullet hole. kinda hard to explain without seeing the device. possible World Record groups are sent to the committee of 3 that independently remeasure the group or groups. Also, to eliminate cheating, Short Range BR mandates that behind the targets are both a stationary backer and a moving backer. They have to be sent with the targets to the committee. The moving backers will have to have 5 holes in them.
My 2 unlimited guns weighed about the same as DocEd's. They are a great tool for a person to learn how to read wind conditions. I sold mine as we just didn't have enough matches to justify one. My last one was sold to a Canadian that lived in the eastern part of Canada.

Eddie, I think it would work for personal use, but not what I had or seen used at the matches.

Butch, me either but it'll point him in the right direction. Going to a registered match and seeing how they are used is the ticket.
By the way, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Not a good photo, but.

Didn't see your post. That is a good photo of one version.

Have a Happy New Year to you Eddie and the rest of the forum members.

Thanks Doc and Butch

He must work for Cooper.

Sorry, That flew completely over my head.

That's what the targets enclosed with new Cooper rifles look like. Of course they're fired at something like 17" from the barrel.
