As far as the clinics for our matches so long as they're not regionals or state championships we don't care if someone coaches/works with new shooters. Just the person isn't elligible for any NRA National records or club records or winning the match if they're being coached. As far as hosing actual clinics the best time for that would be during the match offseason Oct-Feb as rest the time we're pretty busy running matches and there is a fair amount of activity at the base especially March through early June.
Cold weather it is! Nobody likes to sweat while shooting.
What this thread needs is a meet and greet at one of these 1,000 yard lines. It sounds like there are several here that can spread the knowledge they have gained, to those of us that would love to learn it.
I have been following this thread because it aligns with my interest on long range precision shooting. Its the one discipline in shooting that I have little experience with.I know the people needed to make that happen. I think there are a LOT of INGO members that would jump at that opportunity.
Are people welcome to attend as observers? I don't have a rifle yet that is capable, but would like to attend or even volunteer to help if it is needed.I'll post the 2018 CIHPRS schedule after we have our BOD meeting next Saturday but essentially the last weekend of every month (March through Sept.) is a 3x1000 on Saturday and a Palma on Sunday.
Regarding the 6.5 Creedmore it is a .260 Remington with a different case shape and the Creedmore marketing department behind it. Performance is no different than that of the .260. Essentially the CM cartridges are just their versions of the .243, .260 and 7mm-08. With a 30" barrel your going to get around 2,850fps with a 142gr SMK. Which is about 100fps slower than where the 6.5x284's like to shoot. Is it ballistically with the .243, 284 Win, 6.5x284, 280 Rem, 7mm RSAUM no, but you're not super handicapped either. If you want one cartridge to shoot course/mid/long the .260/6.5x47/6.5CM all work just fine. However the 6.5CM doesn't have all the super powers that some associate to it, just has a good marketing/hype machine pushing it.

You guys don't have many BR/BRX/Dasher shooters doing mid/longrange?
