Nation Wide FPS Limits
 

This is just a ponderous question and preferably one that can be answered nation wide by multiple associations/groups/clubs:

What are your local FPS/Muzzle Energy limits? Why did you pick those numbers and have there been any safety incidents?

Thanks in advance.

350 lower for no min engage, 350-400 lower for 20ft min engage, 400+ 40ft and no AEGs over 420 BA rifles none over 450- that's what my group plays with give or take.

Hello Captain.

YOU'RE TOO SLOW!

(although this thread is like.. 2 years out dated)

I was thinking more like this

400FPS and under > all good for anyone walking on the field (semi or full) does not matter

400 - 425 FPS if a safety course is taken Semi or full auto

425+ up to 500 SEMI only safety course and SNIPER course must be taken.
- Min engagement distance in effect

Keep semi auto at 470, allow bolt actions to go higher! (with the course of... course)

Whoa , amos thanks for the link to the old post somehow I never saw it. I just updated it with our info.

Thanks :)

I'll be in BC in a couple of weeks... and I'm planning on bringing some guns and some gear :)

Here are the Official Claybank rules.. perhaps since this is a National game these should be the national ratings to go by.. this way guns are always able to go national
