.22 Long Range Rifle Silhouette Mar 17

[Hawkeye7br]

Will the targets at the 200 yrd range be bigger than the ones at the 165 yrd range? If so, do they still need to be knocked down or just hit?

To be determined.

We made up a target last year that was thin steel hung from a piece of tow strap. Quickly got nicknamed "the dancing turkey" because it responded well to a hit, settled back to neutral position in about 15 seconds, and didn't need to be knocked down to recognize a hit. Thus there would be no additional time to reset the target.

How bout you figure out a reasonable target for everybody for 200, and I'll bring some spare 1/5 Chickens for Chaney?

he wants real chickens!

 

[natdscott]

Baahahaha!! Trouble is, I only have ONE little one. All the rest are so fat they'd be tough for even an old guy to miss!

 

[Hawkeye7br]

In my experience, when two guys start talking smack, someone is about to get spanked!!Maybe some grade A, extra large chicken eggs hung from fishline at unspecified yardage for a shootoff??? Sounds like bragging' rights to me.....

 

[Hawkeye7br]

Only thing better than that is a pound of Tannerite, a case of beer, and a head's up of "Hey y'all, Watch this!!"

Just sayin.......

 

[bwframe]

This getting better all the time.

 

[natdscott]

Ahahaha!!

I'll try not to disappoint with the amount to which my butt gets kicked!! (But to be fair, he and I are both after a 40, and it would be totally awesome if he shot one!)

Rat is the kind of shooter you'd want on the other side of the foxhole covering your back.

 

[Litlratt]

It's a fun match.
No reason not to have fun in between them also.

 

[luger fan]

Don't have the 'top end' gear to shoot but will still attend to watch. Next best thing.

 

[sht4brnz]

Don't arrive and watch, that's boring!
Come and shoot, there's absolutel nothing to be intimidated of

 

[Litlratt]

I have a 541T and a Ruger 10/22 that are competitive. You are welcome to shoot either one.

That's not as much fun. Bring a gun or plan to borrow one. Great attitude of sharing to entice newbies here.
P.S.....don't make me implement the $25 spectator fee!

So I have some dumb questions, some of which I know the answers to:

How's anybody feel about the weather for Saturday?

What time does everything kick off again? Sign up versus sights versus match...

Are we still bag/ruck prone with no rear bag? I think so, but I know ya'll made some changes last year.

Sign up ends at 10ish
Sighters till 1030ish

Bipod / front rest ok
rear bag no

 

[natdscott]

Good deal...same-ish then.

You gonna make the trip for this one, poo-brain?

Weather looks not-awesome, but it beats hell out of staring at shotguns at the 1500.

 

[sht4brnz]

I do do intend to be there

 

[Hawkeye7br]

As of 10pm Friday night, match is still on.

Weather forecast is cold & crappy, with 70% chance of rain around noon. Unless something drastic happens, we're still shooting.

Signup until 10:15, followed by shooters meeting and then sighters until 11am. We're going to have some new shooters, so there will be a Novice class. Clubhouse will be open if we need to take a short break and warm a bit. We set up targets tonight, so morning tasks will be minimal.

Any last minute questions, call me at 812-201-2285.
