Bullseye rules for sighting/warm-up

metaphore
I asked at my club why we don't "warm up" before a match and was told that it is against the NRA rules. Is this true?

Thanks!

    that is correct. the match starts with your first shot. you practice the days before a match not on the day of the match. when the judges are in the clubhouse, the sanction has begun. another reason is, it serves no purpose. warming up for tennis is one thing, the gun and paper dont need warming up. all you have to do is lift the gun for 6 seconds. that is not strennous work. and too, if you get to, everyone gets to, to make it even.

    Hello It is up to the range officer at the match you go to. There is at least on range in N.C. that has a SIGHTING in period 10 min to shoot any gun you have as many shots as you want but only on one tatget .But unless you know this will be the case you should be ready to shoot for record when you set up on the fireing line. At camp perry they have a sightning in range that you can pay to shoot for 10 min. but only at 25 yards. this range is open just a few hours a day and you used to have a onsight gun smith send note your gun had been worked on. quote:"PRAISE THE HARDBALL GUN"

    your all wrong!!
    (depending on the course of fire and discipline)

    in SMALLBORE RIFLE compatition the NRA sanctioned, regulation target has 5 bullseyes. the bottom four are set apart from the top bull by a black line. this bull is for practice / dry / warm up firing. all shots above this line are not for record, and have no impact on your score...

    i start out with sighter shots on this bull, and than complete my course of fire. some shooters return to this sighter bull during there course of fire, and the rules allow for this...

    it depends on on the course of fire, discipline, range rules, etc...

    there are other events that allow this as well.
    best regards, mike.

    Up to range officer - I can understand that. I just can't understand why NRA wouldn't allow sight-in. I guess that was an exaggeration.

    I shoot at two ranges, one is 25 yards and the other 81 feet. I find my groups a bit high at the 81' range and the only time I can shoot there is the weekly match. Maybe I'll just aim a bit low.

    Bobski - Pardini! With the temperamental nature of the HSs I'd need tranquilizers to keep me calm at a match. Call me demanding, but I want a reasonable degree of certainty that a trigger pull is followed by a bang. [;)]
