Indians For Guns

Can anyone provide more info on the rules for this category ?
Recently heard that rules have changed.
Wonder what the rule are and what changes were made.

Hi Manish,

I have always wanted to do that - suggest the image of the Ghost Who Walks for you

I dont know if this is useful but there seems to be comprehensive information for 2011 here:

Rifle Specific: http://www.usashooting.org/downloads/us ... 0rifle.pdf

Rule Book: http://www.usashooting.org/rulebook.php

Trust this helps.

ckk,

I am actually a fan of this fantum....er sorry Phantom .....The McDonnell Douglas F-4E



Not the ghost who walks.... But I am flattered anyways.....Thanks....

Now onto the rules......

The US rules don't apply in our scenario as far as I know.

I hear there have been changes to trigger pull weight in 10mtr air rifle open sight category
Also hear that 10mtr open sight will no longer be an event in the indian shooting scenario...especially Mavlankar....

If that is indeed so it will be shame as this will ensure that people without blackholes for pockets will be turned away/deprived/denied entry into shooting as a sport.

10mtr air rifle open sight category with the IHP N25 is the cheapest way to enter shooting as a sport. The next level is ISSF 10mtr (peep sight) with IHP compressed air rifle at 25000/-

These rumors if true are indeed worrying....

Any concrete info, anyone ?

How much do aperture sight sets cost in India?

I had a question on sights too... after asking here (http://www.indiansforguns.com/viewtopic ... 50&start=0 ) and contacting some dealers near my place, I came up with a short list of Anschutz, Centra, and Warner. The Warners are EXPENSIVE, but apparetly the gold standard in aperture sights. The Anschutz 7020 seems the most common sight used on the .22LR. But apparently, they are not designed for use on big bore rifles. The Centra does duty for both, big and small bore. Which ones are used by competition shooters in India? How about airguns? Given the whiplash recoil of the springer, can these sights be used on springer air rifles too?

And finally, basic aperture sights (those without adjustable irises) are not difficult to build, are there no Indian manufacturers?

They cost a fortune

I was quoted 12000/- just for the basic Feinwerkbau rear aperture sight

IHP had a very functional peepsight with its spring rifles in the early days.

Not sure if we can use springers for 10mtr ISSF air rifle. Never mind what scores you will have. The question is will they allow you to use one ? In western countries there are people who use FWB300S (a springer) in ISSF events.

I shall henceforth refer to you my friend FF, as Kurnass. IMHO, the variant with the best camo scheme

Re ISSF rules, I'm sure you've gone through this:
http://www.issf-sports.org/theissf/rule ... ebook.ashx

The rulebook was last updated in 2010, though the site is updated in 2011. Maybe a search for news/updates might give us what we need, straight from the horses' mouth?

Price of rifle sights, quite prohibitve, even for those of us abroad. This guy is actually cheap:

I bought my set secondhand from someone leaving shooting.

Me a Sledgehammer....ha ha ha.......Agree they do have one of the best camo schemes.....

Onto 10mtr air rifle......

Yup I have the ISSF book downloaded but I am after 10mtr open sight rules which is unique to India.
