SAW A NEW 1 1/8  TAPPERED TO 1 INCH .38 CAL 34 LONG MADE BY DON GETZ  ON LONGRIFLES FOR 190  .THAT OUGHT TO BE SWEET HOOKED UP TO BOWERS ACTION OR ANY OTHER ONE

Kermit,
Table guns must be no more than 13# can have rear peep sights and post and bead or blade front sights, no apertures in the front. Shaders are allowed but no false muzzles, rubber recoil pads or cant blocks. There is no limit on caliber.

Chunk rifles have no weight or caliber limits and can use shaders. The rear sight must be open and the front can be either post and bead or blade. The rear sight must be at least 6" in front of the breach. No rubber recoil pads or false muzzles but cant blocks are allowed.

Light bench rifles have a 13# weight limit and can have rear peep sights and aperture front sights.  False muzzles and cant blocks are also allowed. There is no caliber limit.

Table and chunk guns must use flint or percussion cap ignition. I "think" that an enclosed ignition can be used on light bench.

It is obvious that there are overlapping features on all three dicsiplines but each match, and rifle, is a creature all its own. Hope this helps answer your question. If you have more, let us know.

I would try to add something to what mark said but I think I would only confuse the situation I have to agree with Ken he pretty much summed it up.

30 yards is correct for table shooting.

We'll all cross our fingers that the weather holds and you don't have to hit the road. Let us know how it works out.

To kind of expand on what Ken's talking about I hope you don't mind Ken. Lots of guys are having luck with peep sights. But I see lots of guys having luck with a variety of open sights. So I think it comes down to personal preference.
As far as barrels go I think we're likely to see everything from 32  clear up to 45 there really are no caliber restrictions, but that seems to be watched popular. I would really like to see that Getz barrel that Dag is talking about mounted up that just kind of sounds cool.
Well I ride alone enough for now I'll talk to you later.

Absolutly. That's the way I built mine.

I think I smell a project brewing...

So, globe front sights but none of those little round hole insert things? Globe okay but with the right insert? Just building a fantasy at this point. I've been amusing myself with a flinter with a .50 x 7/8" x 48" DeHass barrel with "traditional" sights. Not the best sight picture for fine work, given my ol' eyes.

Mark I would love to see some pictures of your gun.

Ken,
I can't post, lazy and puter illiterate, but if you get me an email I will be glad to forward pics. If you like, you would be welcome to post them.

Just picked up a never used .40 Bill Large light tapered barrel that I'm going to build my wife's rifle around. Maybe she'll let me borry it for a table shoot sometime.

A couple of years ago I bought a pair of McCoy half stock precarves from a friend and a .32 GM barrel from Ft. Chambers gun shop. I already had some Manton Waterproof locks so I built me a squirrel rifle. My wife shoots it on occasion as does my daughter. We had a sale at our club Saturday and there was quite a collection of new old stock Bill Large, Jim McCartney and unmarked barrels. A lack of money limited me to one barrel. (I did get a box full of old Siler lock kits and some hardware.) Anyhow, I figure to build another flint half stock like my .32 for my wife. One of these days, maybe we'll get to try them both out at a table shoot.

Kermit,
No limit on barrel length or caliber, just the 13# weight limit. If peep sights are being used they must be dialed in before you shoot for record, no adjustments after you have started the match. At this point it has been an honor system regarding the adjustment of sights during a match. I personally don't think I want wax, and for sure not glue, running in to my peeps. It would probably do a lot more harm than good.
