    Shore am. It's just hard to find good long range in this area. I went to Oklahoma last summer and was hitting 900 yards easy. It would be nice if I could find a 500-600 yard range somewhere around here.

    Its a really good time if you have the time and patience.

    Well I am located about 30 min north of Terre Haute. May have to make my way up there sometime.

    Yep, the .308 is what I was shooting, with the match ammo prices now, I'm getting started on reloading.


    May have a .50 on the way, if it works out, I'll definetley be up.

    Another one here, I'm shooting 6.5 Grendal,.308 and .300 Win. Magnum. Looking at
    building a 6.5x47 Lapua bolt gun to replace the Grendal. The local ranges are 200 &
    500 yards, but I have access to a nearly 1700yd. soybean field in the fall.

    Well I'm not shooting the big guns yet. I'm starting off with my 22-250 and working my way up. Just starting to get into reloading also. Figure I'll see how it goes before I buy another gun. Probably be a 308 nothing real fancy to start.

    I shoot long range at Attuerburry.
    There's a nice range in NE Indiana called Young Long Shot.

    I live in NE Indiana and I have never heard of a range called "Young Long Shot". Where is it located? Do they have regular sheduled matches?:dunno:

    I travel around to Ypsilanti, (200,300 and 600yds) Camp Perry (200,300,600, and 1000 yds), Cincinnatti, (200,300,600yds) and Atterbury (200,300,500,1000yds). Also, Lafayette, Lima, sometimes WI, MN, IL, and TN. A lot of Southern Indiana shooters go to Fort Knox, but I have never shot there. And of course my home range Fort Wayne Rifle and Revolver (200,300yds)

    Are you folks "F"class shooters, NRA Classified competitors, or casual shooters?

    Competitive rifle shooting is my passion and just about all that I do on weekends during the season.:do2:

    Maybe I will see you on the range sometime...

    Sue and Whiskey signed me up for cihprs this year. I'll prabably see you down there sometime. Young's looks like a great place to shoot. I have heard rumors about it, but nobody knew the name of it or where it was at. $300 per year to shoot is kind of salty though.

    I am the "reddest" cherry in long range precision shooting and, I think, I have found what will take most of my range time. I seem to enjoy all the calculation, preparation, and effort put into precision shooting more than blasting with a carbine or pistol, especially now with the outrageous ammunition prices.

    No matches yet. I fired a scoped rifle for the first time this past weekend in a class so I wasn't kidding when I said that I am the "reddest" cherry. :):

    Thanks for the offer; I'll send you an e-mail. Meanwhile, I am looking for a three-ring binder log book with blank target spaces. My instructor gave me one that was sent to him for evaluation and while it is nice, it it is the coiled wire type and targets are pre-set. I would like to be able to arrange the order of the pages to my liking and draw whatever target I happen to shoot.

    Opinions on the One Shot Package? It seems very nice, but the price is salty.

    Here's list to an Indiana based company deticated to precision shooters.
    Welcome to Sinclair International's Online Store
    There are 4 pages of log books and score books.
    Or Creedmoor has some.
    Creedmoor Sports :: Shooting Equipment :: Data Tools

    I can send you PDFs for standard highpower scoring pages that you can use to make your own book, if you'd like.
    What rage of targets do you want?
    I have 200, 300, 500, 600, 800, 900 and 100 yards
    All standard NRA Highpower targets.


    The One Shot is nice. Mil Dot master is a great tool.
    However, this would be the most usefull if you're planning on shooting tactical matches or shooting up hill and or downhill a lot.
    I'd hold if I were just getting started.
    PLENTY of things that $140 could be beter spent on. :-)

    Yes.
    It's actually good ranging practice!
    In the demo, it changes calibers though.
    Just have to adjust to the new balistic data :-)
