long range shooting clubs or contests

[bowler299]

I have recently gotten into shooting and am able to hit as far as the range allows. Are there clubs or contests where everyday folk can participate?

New shooters are required to bring donuts. Glazed are always good.... It is in the rulebook. Hate to see you DQ'd at your first match....

I would be willing to provide doughnuts. I have gone to bass and bucks. But I am at least 1 month out,just had shoulder surgery.

 

[sloughfoot]

The first long range match of the year is in Oak Ridge Tennessee the first Sunday of March. So you have some time to get healed. Saturday is 200, 300, 600 yards. Sunday is long range at 1,000 yards. It is a good time to meet the shooters on the Army team. They usually show up from Benning. Be prepared to eat pizza and drink beer afterward..

I believe sir, you have come to the right place, donuts or not. Hope that shoulder heals quickly.

So this is open to anyone? And is it prone, 3 position or what?

 

[sloughfoot]

All NRA or CMP rifle matches are open to anyone. Especially those walking in with donuts.

200 yards is 20 shots standing slow fire followed by two relays of 10 shots rapid fire sitting or kneeling, 20 shots rapid fire prone at 300 yards, and 20 shots sow fire prone at 600 yards. This is called Across the Course highpower competition.

All long range competition is slow fire prone.

...unless you are Agne or Scott, whereupon you shoot offhand. We throw cabers after pizza.

Hehehe.. the new guy/donut thing.

Why not.... I Like donuts...

I shot my first long range match a lot of years ago in Harris Minnesota. They made me bring donuts but they taught me how to use a sling.

Bowler299- check out the Shooting Sports thread for 22 rimfire long range. It's precision, long range (bullet drops 18 inches from 100 meters to 150 meters) and you have to deal with changing conditions. Everything you want to experience at 600-800 yards but with rimfire costs.

I totally agree with this. However, 50 yard prone smallbore matches are held everywhere almost every weekend and are just as challenging. It is an old saying that the road to 1,000 yards starts at 50 yards. But 100 yard Palma matches are out there too.

O.K. how do you sling a donut, and why?
