INGO 3 gun shoot (south of richmond) - 4-3-11

[42769vette]

ill be shooting a rimfire pistol

ya i thought of you when this rimfire pistol thing came up. im not sure you are big enough to handle a 9mm or 40 yet. mabye next year we will think about transitioning you

 

[Cpt Caveman]

Maybe 2 classes, rimfire and centerfire on the pistol . Of course then you're getting all complicated and these things are hard enough to manage when they are kept simple. So either way is OK with me( not like my vote counts anyway!)
I've read the thread twice and can't find any indication of the sizes of the targets.
Are there gonna be multiple different sized targets at different ranges or one target at each range and ten rds/target?
Looking for a little specificity so I can go set up and shoot at targets like we'll be using.

pistol targets will be 10 inch squares down to 1 inchx5 inch wind chimes at various ranges. ill probably set the pistol competition up in 5 minutes right before the shoot saying "that looks about right"


the rimfire will be a 6 inch square

the rifle will be a full size torso. from bobcat steel. exact dementions can be found on his site.

What if you put a 3 or 5 second handicap on the rimfire pistol shooters??? I really don't care either way, just a thought if you don't want to run 2 classes.

This really isn't that serious.

this im only doing one class i think shooting rimfire pistol might take off a second or 2 from there time and thats not a big issue.

 

[oneshotonekill]

I was just throwin out an idea, no biggie, I'm far from being a contender. Doesn't matter to me either way.

you never know. imo this competition is going to come down to who knows there rimfire rifle the best

 

[oneshotonekill]

I would definately agree with you on that. Its sounds silly but I'm more comfortable with the 725 yd shot than I am with the 200 yd rimfire. I've done it more ya know?

ive done both about equal, but im more consistant @ the 725. plus the 725 is alot bigger target. the moa value works out about the same but a wind gust doesn't do to a 140gr bullet what it does to a slow 40gr bullet

 

[oneshotonekill]

Do we get the use of a spotter on the long range stuff?

yes, if you dont bring a spotter i or somone will spot for you

 

[turnandshoot4]

Really? I've got my spotter!

 

[Suprtek]

I really hope this is something you guys will be doing again at some point. We finally have a shooting event within a reasonable distance of where I live and I'm gonna be laid up recovering from surgery at the time! (no big deal, just gall bladder) Plus, I am in the process of getting a new SR-22 and this sounds like a great place to give it a workout.

 

[turnandshoot4]

Reasonable distance? I'm driving 4 hours on 4 hours of sleep!

it builds charactor

my goal is to build a 20ish ft shooting tower on the farm to where i can host stuff like this more often. keep in mind goal and going to happen are somtimes 2 diffrent things. in the summer time when crops are in i go froma 700+ yd range to about 400yds.

ive kind of thought about doing a walk threw the woods steel challenge sort of shoot in the summer. we will just have to see

 

[top hat 45]

sounds like the perfect place for sporting clay type shooting too.tower and woods

it would be a good spot for clays but we somtimes run animals in the woods so we cant have busted or full birds around where they could eat them.

I know what you mean. I've driven a lot further for a shooting event. Its just getting to the point now where I have to choose between gasoline or ammo...and it sucks.

I'm just looking to blame my poor shooting on.
