Seems like a hit or miss thing. Guess I was just lucky.
Bugman wrote:Another thing to bear in mind is that in NSW sometime in the not too distant future, all pistol shooters will have to shoot the appropriate amount of matches for each category of firearm they have, ie, centrefire or rimfire or hi-cal, with the pistol they are using, its serial number and calibre, for said match, and this information sent to the appropriate authorities. So choose wisely, then build up from there.

Bugman wrote:My point is this, if you just want to shoot the bare minimum to allow you to keep your licence and firearm(s), then so be it but imo that type of shooter appears not be in it for the sport. If you enjoy this sport, then shoot as many times as you can, because the more you shoot, the better you will probably get and hopefully will enjoy it more.
Bugman wrote:If you have say 2 centrefires (maybe a .357 and a 9mm) the miniumum number of shooting activities for EACH pistol per Compliance Period is 4 and totalling
8 minimum shooting activities ( for argument sake; 4 matches using a 9mm and 4 using the .357) AND at least 6 of the total minimum shooting activities MUST
be competitive shooting matches.
Clear as mud aint it!
Devilcv8 wrote:I read it as each category of firearm, not each pistol. There are 3 categories, air, rimfire and centrefire.
Have at least 1 of each and you need to do 4 of each, so a total of 12. 6 of which must be competitive matches.

Bugman wrote:The other bit of info I got from an "informant" at FAR was that they are seriously looking at having each competition shoot recorded with the firearm type and serial number on the score sheet. The apparent reason is that you can have a number of centrefires, rimfires etc and possibly only really using one or two for competition shoots..

Woden wrote:Actually, now I'm confused whether to stick with a .22 rimfire Black Mamba or just go straight to a 9mm CZ Shadow 2. I want to get into some of the comps. Thoughts?
Bugman wrote:I used to shoot a 9mm and from the start, I reloaded my own for two reasons: I had the reloading gear and two: I could control my loads to suit me.
Bugman wrote:I don't have any data, mainly because I have not shot 9mm for well over 10 years. BUT you can do what I did and ask other members of my club what they were running through their 9mm and go from there. Sorry I can't be of further help.
