Litlratts' invitation

[Litlratt]

From another thread:

"I can and do appreciate the efforts and the sacrifices made by you and the other instructors to educate the general public. To show my appreciation, I invite you, Hawk and any 3 of the Indiana instructors to compete in a NRA Highpower match at Camp Atterbury that is hosted by CIHPRS. I will pay the 5 instructors match fees the first time and ensure that you have any equipment you may need.
Our course of fire is very similar and the positions are exactly what you teach. Service rifle or match rifle, iron sights, 30 cal or less. I wouldn't suggest a "rack-grade rifle with surplus ammo." The 8 ring at 500 yards is 20 inches, just slightly less than a true 4moa."

Very kind offer, thank you! I want to get some range time in... I'm far out of practice.. but once I'm back up to snuff, I'd very much like to come to one of these events.

FTR, we tell our shooters about what 4 MOA is and why that's the standard we use... that it's 20" ~= 4MOA @ 500 is no surprise.

Until I have a range at which to shoot again and opportunity to kill a brick of ammo or so, I'll pass on your offer, but I would like to come out sometime. It sounds like it might be almost as much fun as an Appleseed shoot.

Blessings,
Bill

When is this, I would like to give it a shot. No pun intended.

You're welcome Bill.
For those who aren't part of the first five. I just talked with Sue Mogle, who has attended an Appleseed, and we're going to discuss at the CIHPRS meeting next week a one time offer to any Appleseed Rifleman to shoot in a CIHPRS regular season match for Atterbury range fees only, which would be $10.00. Any subsequent match would be at full cost.

If this offer is approved, I'll allow the first five instructors to choose which match I pay for. Their first or second.

We should have our 2010 schedule finalized within a couple of weeks.

 

[sloughfoot]

I'll take you up on that. Getting you to pay my match fee would be almost as good as beating you on the line. I will also keep whatever I might win in the Master class....

Maybe you should modify the offer to only NRA Unclassified AS Instructors.

Like you, I have a tremendous amount of respect for the Appleseed program. I have witnessed totally new rifle shooters being brought up to standard by these highly professional volunteer intructors.

It is the ONLY rifle shooting program I have ever seen that brings out the whole family to shoot for the weekend. Think of the ramifications of that, Litlratt......Heck even smallbore is dying..

Of course there is much more to the program than just marksmanship skills.

I hope to see you at an Appleseed soon, if not, I'll see you at Atterbury next year with my new knees...

Dean, I'm assuming you missed "the first time" part of the offer. You'll have to settle for the opportunity of beating me on the line, if you haven't done so already.

You and Ireland should start some kind of club with the new knees thing. I'm hoping that yours are well enough to compete next year.

 

[yellowhousejake]

I would recommend attendance by any Appleseed instructor. I went last year at Mogs invite, and though we got rained out and I only finished the 200 yard COF, I had a great time. Wish dearly I could have fired the full course.

I did score a 96 2X sitting at 200 yards. I am quite proud of that for my first time with an AR! It was all Appleseed training......

How far away are you from the east side of Indy?

Too far for it to be practical, but we have a range opening again near me this month (hopefully!)

Don't wait to try a match until you think you're "good enough." You won't get there. Go and experience the match!

I don't want to be "good enough". I just want to get some trigger time in before I go. It's been darn near a year, with the exception of a couple of times at a 'seed. Those were abysmal.

Blessings,
Bill

 

[rhino]

Hey! Some people use the matches for their trigger time/practice! Do it!

 

[yellowhousejake]

What rhino said...

 

[Lars]

I just need to get a centerfire that's capable of 4MOA first. I doubt my AK-74 is going to cut it.....

However I'm looking forward to shooting a match. Even if it's not part of Litlratt's Invitation.

I have an AR Service rifle that you're welcome to use.

Take the offer Lars, I used Mogs and it was wonderful...

i would love to do this but the only thing i have open sights is a 16" barrel ar. i could take the scope off my rem 700 7mm. how many rounds of ammo should i expect to have loaded for this (just rough estimate)

 

[Mudcat]

You need to shoot open sights no optics allowed. I also think they require you to have a 20" tube. A 16" tube is all I have as well. I wonder if the high power rules will change since the military is issuing 16" ???

Bill I offerd you some trigger time with my AR at the Riley Appleseed last weekend. If I had known you were lacking trigger time we would have forced you. lol
be confident in your skills and don't worry about it. It is just like riding a bicycle.

I know you did, and I appreciated it then as now. I said no at the time mainly because I would not have been able to do what I wanted, which is to avoid the worries of the time monkey and just shoot.... What is it they say? "Amateurs do it until they get it right. Professionals do it till they can't get it wrong." I have confidence, just not DAve's level of it.

That and the cost of .223 is... slightly higher... than .22LR.

Thanks again. This will come in time.

Blessings,
Bill
