"alright, this is the small game board. small game means varmints, and varmints mean long range shooting.
anyone want to try for the big one? a thousand-yard kill on your favorite varmint? yeah, i know that it would be a lot easier to have a 500yd or maybe even 750yd varmint club, but heck, we're the BSBs; certainly one or two of us could do it!
the rules are simple:
MEMBERS ONLY! (duh!)
1000 yards (or more), confirmed by at least 1 person who is there with you and willing (if necessary) to sign his/her name to the fact.
the kill must be made on or after 1 may 2005.
any species of small game including (but not limited to) gophers, rabbits, marmots, prairie dogs, coyotes, crows (why not?) kangaroos and any number of creatures i am sure i failed to mention. in wisconsin, cats will do, as long as it is truly a feral cat (if posters on streetcorners emerge asking you to help find little molly's cat, your entry is automatically disqualified).
any serious varminter probably has a range finder, but if not, use another method to measure the distance.
a picture must be posted including your name, the location (at least state and county), species of animal, distance, rifle, cartridge, load and bullet used, your witness and how many shots it took you to make the kill.
if the animal is what is traditionally known as a fur-bearer, it is suggested that you have the hide caped to commemorate the event.
the prize for making it into the club?
i am afraid that i am totally tapped for any money or prizes, but bragging rights are a given. also available is the fact that you will be known as a no-bullshit kind of varminter who has worked hard and achieved a huge milestone. i will also do whatever i can to spread the word about your achievement to a number of forums, and perhaps we can also contact a few magazines.
sound good?
i know that it's a pretty ambitious challenge, but it wouldn't be worth much otherwise. anyone who's got the guts to attempt this one and see it through deserves to be recognized. if you know any other varminters, refer them to this challenge and have them join BSB to get in on it.
while 1000yrds is the primary goal, we would also like to see pix and stories of some of the stepping stones up to this mark. please submit entries for 500yrds, 750yrds and 900yrds as well, and these will be displayed in order to show your progress!!
these rules and guidelines are a first-draft only, and i am sure that i left a few details out. i am not an experienced varminter, and doubt that i will be even trying out for this challenge any time soon. with that in mind, suggestions, ideas and comments on this proposal should be submitted on this thread. entries to the club can also be submitted on this thread. if any changes are made to the basic rules, they will be found here in this post. i will make them in bold print or make a notation at the bottom of this post describing the changes. i would like to have all amendments in place and a final version of the rules and guidelines by 1 may 2005.
alright! let's see some feedback on this and, hopefully, a few entries!"
