All participants are required to grade their own cards.
Group size to be mentioned as a centre-to-centre measurement in millimetres. For those who don't know how to do this, measure the longest distance across your group and then deduct the calibre. For instance, if you shoot a 10 shot group admeasuring 25mm with a 4.5mm calibre airgun, then deduct 4.5 from 25. This will give you a centre-to-centre group size of 20.5mm.
Please remember to add the penalty points, if any, to your c-t-c group size. Children who are 15 years or below should deduct 5mm from their group size but must add the penalty points if required.
Here's an example of what a typical IFG Postal Competition target would look like.
Scores for the trial run to be submitted by 12:00 p.m. 14th May 2007 on this thread. Feel free to add pics of your groups.
When posting your results, please mention whether it is for an Indian or Imported rifle or pistol, the calibre used, the sighting mechanism and the c-t-c group size before and after adding the penalties, if any.
Have fun!
