CO Rifle Club (CRC) Long Range Precision Rifle

Re: CO Rifle Club (CRC) Long Range Precision Rifle

First off, I wanted to thank RJ and Chris for a great match! The targets were fun, and the wait wasn't that bad considering how friendly everyone was.

It was a good turnout, and despite shooting with my DMR rifle vs my precision gun, I had a blast.

I can't stop thinking about that little rat at 550! This might not be the most tactical match I have ever shot, but it will train you to read wind just like with an IPSC sized target at 600 +, probably even better. Aim small, miss small definately applies here.

Thanks to Kevin U, who was really cool with us new guys showing us the ropes and just being a fun guy.

I will be back again!

Re: CO Rifle Club (CRC) Long Range Precision Rifle

Just bustin ur balls RJ! ha.

Another thought for speeding things up would be to have 2 spotters, and start the next relay when the current relay is on the last berm so shooting never stops. That would drastically speed up the match, and you dont have to worry about timing anything just right or adding targets. Just a thought.

Either way, it was great fun and it was nice meeting new peeps. Maybe if it goes late again we can have a night stage??? ha. j/k.

Re: CO Rifle Club (CRC) Long Range Precision Rifle

Same casual observation and simply trying to help an already great event,

I would recommend, instead of letting everyone get a spot and stay there, you have your 4 relays, with say 10 folks per relay, give or take.

Then, have relay 1 & 2 on the line while 3 & 4 work the back spotting. Don't let people squat the whole day, you condense the line and also you can separate it because you only have 20 down at a time.

Relay 1 starts and when they get to the second shooter on the 400m meter berm relay 2 starts at 200m so as they are slightly lagging behind. Once both finish at the 500m berm switch out the relays.

if you have to give them a prep time, say 2 minutes to switch the relay out but have it move along so 2 berms are being shot at the same time by different relays. I think it would speed the time up considerably. If you line them up from the ends towards the middle that would increase the separation a bit. This way we don't stake out a spot and stay there.

Just a recommendation having run a match before, it was something I saw as way to move it along efficiently.

Re: CO Rifle Club (CRC) Long Range Precision Rifle

Any idea how the entrance road to CRC is looking for this weekends match? My Saturn doesn't negotiate 2ft drifts very well....

 

[Lowlight]

Re: CO Rifle Club (CRC) Long Range Precision Rifle

I was there Sunday, it is not a problem snow wise, but melting, it is wet and can be a bunch muddy in places.

The snow isn't bad there at all though, and the roads in are 100%

Re: CO Rifle Club (CRC) Long Range Precision Rifle

Match is a go. We'll send out an email and make the announcement in the morning.

 

[verdugo60]

Re: CO Rifle Club (CRC) Long Range Precision Rifle

So are we doing a two group match this time with 3 strings instead of four?

If so, I would prefer the 12 pm one as I have to zero a scope and chrono a new load. Don't think I'm on the email list...

 

[Quickdraw40]

Re: CO Rifle Club (CRC) Long Range Precision Rifle

OK, CRC LRPR match is a go for this weekend. If the weather is anything like today, it is going to remind me of Pheonix (except the snow on the ground part). A couple of changes for this and following matches... The support we have received has forced to go to two start times, the first will be at 9am and the second will be noonish. You must sign up for the 9am match, we will take the first 21 shooters who send an email to Jess ([email protected]) after 12:00 noon today (Wednesday). You do not need to register for the noon start time. We will normally do this on the Monday before the match, but this has been a crazy week. We are changing the format to have three strings of 16 shots instead of four strings of 12 shots by adding a prairie dog target to each berm. We will also run around seven shooters on a squad. Thank you. We look forward to seeing everyone there.

Re: CO Rifle Club (CRC) Long Range Precision Rifle

Sh*t! I think I want to try and get in on this...completely forgot about these matches, and now it's 11:30pm the night before! Guess I should try and come out for the noon start time tomorrow.

Anyone from Denver carpooling for the noon start time? I also might need to zero my scope since I recently took it out of the rings. If a member wouldn't mind allowing me to confirm zero before hand and if a carpool is heading out, please let me know!

I better gather my crap tonight!

Re: CO Rifle Club (CRC) Long Range Precision Rifle

Ah to hell with it...I'm coming out there anyway!

Not sure where exactly i need to show up or when, but i should be there by 11:30am leaving now.

 

[verdugo60]

Re: CO Rifle Club (CRC) Long Range Precision Rifle

Wow, this was definitely a learning, humbling match. I had mounted a new scope, and had not prepared my dope well. Did not have time to zero before driving out, so I planned to do it early. Didn't work out. Had stuff tie me up so I got there at about 12. Lessons learned:

1. Good tires are vital, they kept me from getting stuck in that soupy road, even in my car.

2. I need a 4 wheel drive.

3. I "need" a scope with matching reticle and turrets.

4. Zeroing a scope on paper and having zeroed knobs helps a lot. Trying to make adjustments on the fly when starting from a random number and returning just sucks.

5. Having the correct velocity to run your dope helps a lot. I was doing theoretical load development and it screwed me up because I forgot to switch to my actual velocity even after establishing my zero.

6. Heated man-thongs are a real thing.

7. Even a shitty day at the range is better than a normal day at work!

Thanks RJ for putting on the match in less than ideal conditions and letting me zero. Thanks Beck for spotting for me. See you all again soon!

CRC LRPR Feb. 2012 Results

All, I thought the match went pretty well. Lessons learned: I think we will go to four squads instead of three. It was hard to get shooters to work right after shooting, so I think mirrored squads will work better. Next month we will do the a.m. sign-up at noon the Monday before the match. I will send out a reminder that morning. Thank you everyone for the help with set-up and tear-down, it would have been miserable without the help!

Re: CRC LRPR Feb. 2012 Results

Thanks again to RJ and Jess for putting this match together month after month, and being open to making changes to keep it efficient.

I think 4 squads would help if you have enough people... with the 15 shooters in the morning session, everyone one would nearly have to help/work for their mirrored squad. I'm not complaining; I'd be open for that.

Fish, I think as the warmer months arrive we will easily fill four seven person squads at each session. The next step would be requiring sign-up for the afternoon match and limiting the match to 56 shooters. Nice shooting Saturday!

Re: CRC LRPR March Announcement

All,

We are on again for this Saturday. We will have two start times, one at 9:00 am and one at 12:00 noon. We will do four squads of six at 9 am (24 shooters max). If you are interested in shooting the 9am time slot, please email [email protected] to reserve your spot anytime after noon today. We will take the first 24 shooters. No need to sign up for the afternoon match, my plan is to shoot as close to 12 noon as possible, but we will not start any earlier. Set-up will be 8 am-ish.


Thank you everyone, hope to see you there,
RJ

Re: CRC LRPR March Scores

All, Thank you everyone for the help, we couldn't do it without it. Great turn-out, great weather, great cookies, great friends, tough wind....

Remember, next month is up in the air. The State Multi-Gun (3-gun) match is the same weekend as our monthly match, so we will either need to find another weekend (Sunday since all Saturdays are taken) or cancel the match. I will update the website, send emails, and update the forums with information.

The p.m. crew is waiting around a little bit at arrival, so we will probably push the p.m. start time to 12:30 p.m. at the next match.

We've made it a full year! Thank you for the support!

Re: May 2012 CRC LRPR Match

Wow, got thru two strings in the AM and then it's was like someone flicked on jet engine, but it was almost directly from behind. Glad I didn't shoot in the pm, direction be damned, it almost blew my chair down range with my shooting mat. On the way home on I70 I saw a suv that had been flipped by its jellybean camper trailer and semis seemed to be crabbing down the highway.

We will still have the noon match, set up at 10:30 a.m., shooters meeting at noon and first shots downrange at 12:15. There is no need to RSVP for the noon match, just show up and have fun!

Re: CRC LRPR June 2012 Scores

Hey, all you guys that shoot this match... you are shooting on the Metallic Silhouette range and I was wondering if any of you have considered giving it a try? It is an offhand game, shot standing with no support, much like hunting. We shoot at steel animals at each of the 4 berms you guys are using out there. I'm temporarily disposed near Fort Benning Georgia so I obviously can't make it to CRC for our monthly Silhouette matches (first sunday of the month).

I'd like to offer up a challenge to you guys. I will send $20 to anyone that takes an opportunity to go out to a high power silhouette match and give it a try. All you need is a rifle with a good scope. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. The only restrictions are that it has to be a minimum of 6mm and no magnum cartridges. There are actually more rifle rules to do with shape and weight but don't worry about that for your first match.

So yeah, go give this sport a try, tell the match director that I sent you. He'll let me know and I will send you 20 bucks! Have you ever heard of a better deal???

Quickdraw40, I hope you don't mind me getting off topic. Let me know and I'll delete.

Cheers guys! When I get back to CO I will be out to shoot with y'all.

 

[maccrazy2]

Re: CRC LRPR June 2012 Scores

my rifle weighs around 20lbs

 

[Trental]

Re: CRC LRPR June 2012 Scores

yeah, my f-class rifle is a beast too. I hear ya on that. Don't most of us have more than one rifle though? Pretty much any hunting rifle will work just fine. There are two classes in Silhouette; Hunter and Standard(heavy). .243 to 30-06 and everything in between will get it done.

The Hunter class rifles can shoot in both classes. It is intended to be a class that anyone can use their normal big game rifle in.
