How do you compare and contrast what you know of service rifle matches in the US with the AU/NZ match rules(I am aware that NZ's rules may change due to laws passed after the Christchurch shooting). In reading the match rules for the "down under" matches, it seems that more emphasis is placed on individual shooting skill than in the associated paraphernalia. Little or no modifications to rifles, no specialized shooting apparel, no loop slings or any slings at shorter ranges versus the heavily modified service rifles(triggers, weights, barrels, NM sights and now scopes), shooting jackets, gloves, and hats, loop slings, etc. I realize that the people who utilize all that would be very good riflemen without the gear, but the MSC rules seem to place more emphasis on pure riflemanship. What are your thoughts on this subject?
oh, I can almost answer that, and it is pretty simple
so, there are plenty of them active shooting with slings triggers and so on, they shoot in a different class (as a side to that often some of the clubs shooters shooting "as issued" service rifles of WW1 vintage will out score/shoot those (and not bad at all shooters, who would rank highly in any comp))
but it is almost a challenge, there are more than a few that will shoot modern in the match (I dont mean tikkas, but in terms of .223/.308 modern rifle, sling, and scope etc) they shoot well, they all will tip their toes into old mil rifles, and it can be amazing just how much etc skills and good practices it forces on you
(cause a modern rifle handled with average position, and support can yield good scores still, but those same average posistioning, and support of the rifle punish in either the scores, or the shooters body, and it forces good practices to get good)
a good service (ie old school, full bore) shooter will be a good modern rifle shooter
but a good modern rifle shooter doesn't equal a good service rifle shooter
Service rifle in Australia to the vast majority is "as issued" if you turn up with a straight jack you are relegated to Open Class. That is in both the SSAA Combined Services and ASRA rule books.At the grass roots level it takes the equipment race out of the equation making the completion far more assessable to all. However you cant deny these people the skill required subsequently there is a Class for them.IMO - Traditional Service rifle is a far greater marksmanship test as you are literally not propped up by equipment and figure targets are far more challenging than a metric target.QMRC take it to the next level, reducing the time frames, adding movement, moving targets and barricades into the equation. - Rowan
