3 Gun in Wythville Va. Oct.3

[Jon Lester]

Clark K and Mike Oberman are hosting a 1 day 3 gun match in Wythville Va. It is on a new course and we ran a trial Match a couple months ago.It is interesting.
The date is Sat Oct 3 for 3 Gun and on Sun 4th Clark plans to travel to a local farm for some LR stuff with steel near 2000 yds. The Sun shoot is not a Comp but a Friendly blast session.


The info I have from Mike is "contact me at [email protected] and I will forward them a application. The shooters must sign up before the match, at that time I will also send them directions out to the location. We are going to try 6 stages this time.". Refer to the match as the CTI Warm Up 3 Gun

Clark K's Contact is 304 967 5224 He will have info on the buddy shoot.

Re: 3 Gun in Wythville Va. Oct.3

Thanks Jon for posting the info for the 3 Gun Match and the Longrange fun shoot on Sunday.

Mike has been putting the CTI match on for several years now and wanted a new place for the match so I hooked him up with a great place back in the country.

It is on a 200 acre farm with a grass landing strip for the longrange part of the match. There is a pond stage where you will shoot out of a boat as you go across the pond at a slow speed. There are several wooded fields for the other stages.

I will post more when I have more time.

Hope you can come,

Clark K

Got your email the other day Clark. I have it marked on the calendar and will hopefully see a bunch of you there as well.

Re: 3 Gun in Wythville Va. Oct.3

Do you have to participate in the shoot or can you attend as a spectator? I have never done a 3 gun shoot but would like to watch to get an idea of what goes on and learn about the event before actually doing one.
Would for sure be down for the sunday long range shoot though.

Re: 3 Gun in Wythville Va. Oct.3

Re: 3 Gun in Wythville Va. Oct.3

Thanks David aka dmtsc

Re: 3 Gun in Wythville Va. Oct.3

Re: 3 Gun in Wythville Va. Oct.3

Re: 3 Gun in Wythville Va. Oct.3

I want to let everyone know that the 3 Gun match in Wytheville Va. has been canceled by the landowner. He has talked to his lawyer about having the match on his property and is affraid he will get sued if someone gets hurt. I told him we had insurance for that reason but he still would not let us use his property again.

I hate we can't shoot the 3 Gun match on the 3rd but we still plan on doing the fun shoot at Ray Dawson's place in Glade Springs on Oct 4th.

I anyone has any questions PM me and I will get back to you.

Hope to see some long range shooters on sunday at Rays place.

Bring anything you want to shoot with you. It should be a good time for all.

Sorry for the bad news on the 3 gun match.

Thanks, Clark K

Re: 3 Gun in Wythville Va. Oct.3

Thanks for the directions. If you'd like some help setting up that morning just let me know, I'd gladly come down a little early and help as I only live a short distance up the road.

 

[drmarc]

Re: 3 Gun in Wythville Va. Oct.3

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth but got a couple questions.

How much steel will be set up and out to what range?
Is this angle shooting/flat or both?
Will the steel at max distances be 50cal capable?

Thanks!

 

[ray d]

Re: 3 Gun in Wythville Va. Oct.3

good morning just wroke up.there will be stell from 10 yards out to about 1000yards on my place then later in the day the big boys will head up on top to shoot at a steel man set up at aproximatly 2500 yards across a valley on my friend's hay field. im also gonna try to set a plate at 1600yards but i have to get up with that land owner first, if any body has a lieca vector or range finder that will reach that far please bring it. Ive been using my horus scopes to range with and i want to guage the accuracy of them. the area we will be shooting from at first will have several agle and flat shots out to 838 yards i have several logging roads that will be used at a later date for sniper comp to provide some interesting angles. yes bring your 50cal or 20mm anzio. the steel will take it.if somthing breaks i will fix it. the in close targets will be painted bright green these targets are for pistols,shotguns,and rimfires only.every thing ealse can shot with centerfire .

Re: 3 Gun in Wythville Va. Oct.3

Would like to give a big thanks to Ray (<span style="font-weight: bold">Creep in 2</span>) and anyone that helped him get the fun shoot together. I had a great time and enjoyed meeting everyone, very nice bunch of guys with a wealth of knowledge. Hope to be able to do it again.

Would also like to thank Clark K. for letting me squeeze off a few rounds
from his TRG 42 338 Lapua.

Thanks again.
Kevin.

Re: 3 Gun in Wythville Va. Oct.3

Well this is my first Sniper's Hide community get together.
For those that knew about this event and were able to make it, we all had a pretty good time.
I can't wait until the next one because things will only get BETTER at Ray's place as time goes on (he's just getting started).
The "Boss Ladies" came up and got the chow line up and running... MMMMM Good.
This was a friendly little get together and there was a WHOLE lot of BS'ing and a lot of good info being traded as well.

Thanks Ray, Clark, your Wives and who ever else helped you get set up today.

I'll see you at the next one.

Post up some pictures when you get a chance.

 

[apache308]

Re: 3 Gun in Wythville Va. Oct.3

I'd like to thank Clark and Ray also. The work they had put in was obvious and their hospitality second to none. Thanks Clark for the good conversation and for letting me and a few buds squeeze off a few rounds from the big 338X. Thanks Ray for accomodating us on your property and the great cookout. If you have another, I'll be back.

Re: 3 Gun in Wythville Va. Oct.3

Im glad everybody enjoyed it. It will get better as things go on and i get more things done to the property. I realy enjoyed it and so did my wife sherri. well diffently keep all who showed up and all who didnt posted on upcoming events, sniper comps,train ups ect... I hope to get with the land owner that owns the ridge at 1600yards and obtain permission to put some targets out there from 1200-1600. so the guys that couldnt shoot 2500 with the rest of us can stretch thier rifles and skills abit. My thanks to all who left donations and to a great bunch of guys exchanging information and having a good time. Ray Dawson aka Creep in 2.
