I’ll happily snag your spot if it’s cool with the rools and they’ll welcome a total noob.

I think you need visitors. I come with beer. Good beer. And night toys no one has ever seen and barely heard of.
Not sure if this excites me or makes me nervous!
beer and unheard of night toys!
I have it for trade. I have 4- 1lb cans of 4064 and a 8lb jug of accurate 2520. I have a few 1lb if that too but I'm good with keeping those unless someone really wants em

Also, I have a full factory KAC SR-25 ACC I purchased new in 2020 and put 2-3 mags through, then cleaned, lubed and put back in the KAC factory hardcase. Latest model. MLok rail. 16”.
I might be willing to trade (preferably) or sell outright (maybe).
Have an FDE SCAR-20S in similar condition too, with FN box. Same deal. It has served primarily as my photo platform for nefarious night time toys.
LOTS of factory mags for both. Mostly all new.

Just scraped my zipper hard…
I’m just getting it off the ground. Literally I lay in ground to shoot still. Building some shelters. It’s my farm and in a hollar so no danger of anything stray unless you try to shoot the stars out. I’m hoping to have some days where some good long range guys come play and teach me how the hell to shoot past 500
Well I’m not much of a beer man but I like night toys! Well nothing bigger than a finger and no further than 2 knuckles deep.
Did anyone else run this match at AP? My first time, it was a blast. I sucked but got a few good hits here and there. I think my worst stage was the movers at 600yards? crazy, super fun, down for another match but a lot of work between now and then.
What did you run? Theres a 600yd bench match in TN this weekend, but I'm out of brownie points. Glock match in the 'Gump is next for me. Hope all is well with the rest of you guys.
we live in franklin and i shoot out there, have to connect some time
What sort of, if any, prereqs are needed to come do a match? It’s something I’ve always wanted to do just to meet some like minded folks and have a good time. I’m by no means a competitive shooter but I’ve tinkered quit a bit with old development and hand loading for quite some time.
You have a rifle, ammo, and know your dope? You're good! try and place lower than me, i dare you...seriously the other shooters will help a ton, they would throw gear like their bags etc at me and say "use that". As long as you have a good attitude and come to have fun and learn, you will love it.
How does one get a membership? I’m about a hour and half away in Huntsville and strategic seems to be the closest and by far best range I can find.
For prs matches you just sign up. For strategic edge range you have to email and ask to be put on waiting list. It’s a private range that’s full, but people roll on and off the roster
Sound like your RO didn’t give you the correct yardage
. It was mislabeled in the match book.
Lol that’s right forgot we had to swap the 4 and 5Sound like your RO didn’t give you the correct yardage
Would it be frustrating to other shooters if you didn’t have very accurate dope (or any at all) at certain distances past a certain point and had to rely heavily on ballistic data off of software based on MV and chrono data? Or would every still be pretty helpful? That’s been my biggest brake peddle on going to one of these things. I wanna learn and have fun and meet folks but I don’t wanna be a hindrance. I know that seems gay or whatever but you never know how grumpy and impatient folks can get!!
You have your time on a stage so what you do with it, no one else cares. Don't let that stop you, but if you haven't confirmed dope out beyond a certain distance, just write down a dope card from your Ballistic App or Kestrel ect..., with it in 100 yd increments, and then write the 3 dopes you need, on a stage odd your card on a wrist band like what we used playing football. You can use index cards and change em as much as needed, and keep the master dope card in your bag to get it off of before each stage.
“Or had to rely heavily on software…”
Dude, every single shooter there would have packed their shit and gone home kestrels and applied ballistics went down
know your speed, and be able to plug in your data properlyHaha good shit. I’m a confident shooter I’ve just never done so “competitively” and my long guns have never seen a range longer than 200 yards. I’ve got good data, just never confirmed. I need to just sign up and go have fun“Or had to rely heavily on software…”

Well I think I just round out my short stroking problem. I had a rifle spring in the carbine buffer tube. Confirmed weight of buffer to be 3oz, but the spring was 13.5" I just cut it down to 11" and will re-test this week.
On the mover - The other shooters in the squad noted the correct distance, but that didn't help me I still missed all of them I think.

Range day Monday - Strat Edge in TN if anyone in HSV wants to follow. Guests can shoot out to 500.
I will be function testing the 6ARC (the shortened spring did NOT fix it, I suspect gas tube clogged, new one ready to rock, looking for triple taps at 600 again)
Will be chronoing some 300PRC 198PVA solids and tuning the EC Tuner Brake.
I still want to get together sometime soonish for Long range or yotes. hope all are doing well.
I have shirts made, front is blank if anyone wants them PM me, the gold is shiny, they were a small run, more to come.

Just for kicks… I have a SCAR-20S FDE that has well fewer than 100 rounds on it that I’d be happy to trade for another Cool Kid toy.
I’ve used it primarily as my photo platform for Night Vision and Thermal toys and it hasn’t been shot in at least a year. Excellent condition with original FN shipping box/foam.
Looking for anything unique or of interest in trade — guns, women, booze, Redneck stuff, whatever.

Did anyone ever get together and shoot? I've got a PVS14 and a StingIR on 556 gun, I'm down to shoot at some coyotes within an hour of HSV or so. Hartselle officially.
Working on funding an 18 inch WOA SPR/DMR type build to try and shoot the 600yd CMP range mo' betta than my 1-6 Razor.

You are probably referencing Lonewolf but you should see the amount of trailers in my Grandfather's side yard. Fancy enclosed types full of five dollar junk he found at estate sales, looking like a part time dealership.
