I found this on a thread here today and felt it worthy of a thread of its own. We have lots of "shooters" here on FR and this is the chance for them to see how good they really are. So lets have a little informal competition. We will use the honor system, no cheating or inflated or deflated scores. I tried it once this afternoon and got a 51. Sure nothing to brag about. Lets see how some of the FReeper shooters such as: Shooter 2.5; Dead Corpse; Andonius_99; TexasCowboy; Blood of Tyrants; 30-06 Springfield; TC Rider; Joe Brower; Sit-Rep; Squantos;; Lion Den Dan; JackFromTexas; Mortimer Snavely; Jeff Head; Travis McGee; harpseal, and a host of others do in this.

Good luck to one and all and if anyone springs for the CD let me know how they like it, I am being tempted. Now, click on the link and let the fun began.

Come on now, be honest in the scores you post.

There might be some confusion so here is the link again: http://www.shooterready.com/lrs.html

It works fine.

Since you bring it up, is anyone interested in doing a Postal Match again?

What are the rules? How many shots?

[CedarDave]

Where are the Nevada Bambi's?

[Prodigal Son]

Scored a 42.

OK, how long do we have to complete this? I'm on dialup and keep timing out. When I get home (if I'm not too late) I'll have high speed cable. How long does the demo take?

[Double Tap]

69

[Blood of Tyrants]

A paltry 22. I guess I should know more about mil dots and ranging, huh? Maybe I should get the cd.

[Prodigal Son]

I might add too, I didn't use any of the equations. I just fired a test shot and then adjusted the rounds onto target like adjusting mortar rounds. So, I never achieved a first round hit (got a second round hit on the first target though). My score might be used as a "base level" for applying no skill at all ;-)

[NMC EXP]

What is the course of fire for the highpower postal match? Range, positions, type of targets, type of rifle, & etc.

YooHoo! Scored a 52 the second time around.

[Dead Corpse]

If you use the on screen bullet data, calculator, and formulas, there is no way to miss. No bob-weave, breathing, or trigger control. No natural point of aim.

That and the fact that I still have my notes from playing around with this simulator the first time around a few months back.

I can shoot better on the simulator than I can in real life. It is much more difficult to get a perfect score on the range.

A Very bad evening. -5

How about a course of fire at a real range, instead?

State the course of fire, assuming any rifle and any round.

We could even do a simple CMP course; 2,3,6? Maybe even throw in a few handgun strings?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

God, I love this country!!! Try finding something like this in France or on a site ending in ".fr"!

[Prodigal Son]

Got a crib sheet now. I can score a tenner on every one!

67. Funny game. It allows holding over and for wind. Grab the reticle and move it. It doesn't seem to add the final stage.
