Sounds fun. What limitations on ammo?
During sight in, can you use the prone position? Typical calibers used? Sorry for newbie questions, I've never shot offhand at that distance before. |

Satobill, those are the posted rules on the web site but we allow 223 as long as you are not using SS109 steel penetrator or any steel core bullets.
Any lead core bullets are acceptable and of course reduced power loads are preferred, final determination is how the ammo reacts with the targets, if they start pocking the target we wont let you shoot it anymore and as always some of us have some ammo to lend you new guys. You can sight in prone but its not really necessary, we have benches and bags or shoot off a bipod off the bench during sight in. Wear warm clothes as it will probably be cold inside the shooting enclosure. So come on out with your WWI/WWII, hunting, plinking or varmint/target rifle |

- Are all the targets at the same distance? The chickens seem fairly small for offhand at 200y. |

We sure do, but I never shot one on purpose - steel or otherwise.

Are all the targets at the same distance? Yes 200 meters
The chickens seem fairly small for offhand at 200y. Yes (about a 8" hit are) they are, but when you hit one, your cohones will swell and you will start singing like a rooster. |

Thanks, this should be fun - I will try to make it out there.

Thanks, but that would be too easy as it probably would be perfect for silhouettes
- I will bring an AR - probably scoped. Need to see what ammo I have for them. |

Try to make it. It is a blast. OR, try to make the Gonzales Christmas shoot the day before. Killer BBQ and full distance critters. You can even join the duel between myself and 6mmintl, varmint class (off the bench), and we all shoot the same gun. I'll spot you the Lake City Match ammo. If we have 3 shooters we will make a separate class. Winner keeps his gun. OR you could shoot both days! Last edited by kendog4570; 11-28-2012 at 8:47 PM.. |

- Tried the irons today, but I couldn't see a 6" target at 100y - so scope it is Will look into the Gonzales match after that. I have family visiting over Christmas so it could be good to have a reason to get out of the house |

His Scandanavian bretheren would shake their heads, they like their iron sighted match rifles for sure.
maybe a Stangskyting would get him to convert wrong country, but I won't go there |

I need to look through a good iron sight and see what they look like. Regular AR sights aren't as nice as HK-type sights. |

Well.... The KTM 3 stroke is as far as I'll go for evolution. Scopes are for bed-wetters. |

A REAL KTM, that takes oil in the gas. Not one of those 4 stoke, scope-like poser bikes. You know I'm kidding, and can feel the love, right? Not as white-knuckle fast as the old 1983 495, but MUCH more ride-able in the tight stuff. Got sling?? |

So how did it go with the shooting in spite of the rain and all?

Since it was timed, I had assumed you could load a magazine with 5rnds and stay in position - Single feeding cost time and rebuilding the position too. The more I learned, the worse I did - but next time I will do better. Thanks for all hints and pointers Ken, Frank and Chas! - Now I have a goal - I want one of the clean-sweep pins I need to practice more - much more |
