Re: Extreme goat shoot at Rays in VA

I'd be interested. I have a .338 that I haven't shot yet. This would give me a good excuse to get it running.

Yikes 2600+ yds! I read 1600 the first time...Can people even get out to 2600 with .338?

Ray,
You have a web site for Afar Ent? Will you be on your own at this match, or would there be a spotter to guide you on your misses?

Re: Extreme goat shoot at Rays in VA

Re: Extreme goat shoot at Rays in VA

That's awesome! I'd definitely give it try.

300g bullets?

Re: Extreme goat shoot at Rays in VA

Afar, I don't blame you for the entry on the fun shoot, we had a great time at the last one, only place you can spend the day shooting and get feed for a small fee. I have a .338 Edge, just not sure the glass is up to the distance, I'll have to give that some serious thought. Keep us posed if it goes though.

Re: Extreme goat shoot at Rays in VA

I doubt I have enough MOA even with mil holds to get there. Maybe you could have something a little closer range for us rookie's.

 

[ray d]

Re: Extreme goat shoot at Rays in VA

How close?

 

[Raven 6]

Re: Extreme goat shoot at Rays in VA

Something to still be a challenge, not that I wouldn't like to shoot 2662. If my calculations are correct 1760 (a mile) would give me a couple MOA wiggle room but that is about my limit with the Mark 4 I have. It's your match, I was just thinking if you had a couple classes some people that couldn't make it to 2660 with their equipment could still shoot at something very challenging. I shoot a .338 Edge, and I think the rifle will get there, but the scope it my limiting factor.

Re: Extreme goat shoot at Rays in VA

When might this goat whacking be held? Will the goats have names? Will they be staked down or tied to a tree? Will they also be stump or gun boot broke
Thanks,

Re: Extreme goat shoot at Rays in VA

I may be in for a 1760 shoot. I never shot to a mile, but I have enough elevation in the glass for it.

Re: Extreme goat shoot at Rays in VA

Mustach rides! That is just wrong. You know if he comes, he will win. He just put a new Simmons on his 204 Ruger. Get ready!!!

Re: Extreme goat shoot at Rays in VA

How many so far? I know of 4 that is (trustworthy) interested.

 

[Col Kurtz]

Re: Extreme goat shoot at Rays in VA

Ray, I have spoke with a few guys that said they would come if there was going to be some sort of prize, but not just for bragging rights. I know everyone realizes that you need some money to cover the expenses, and knowone has a problem with that, but a little in the pot always makes people try a little harder. Like how about a sponsership

not that some people don't already have them, just not me... someday...

 

[WhiskeyWebber]

Re: Extreme goat shoot at Rays in VA

Any ideas on what date or dates you are thinking about?

 

[old95b10]

Re: Extreme goat shoot at Rays in VA

Re: Extreme goat shoot at Rays in VA

Have you decided on a shorter distance for us slackers?

 

[old95b10]

Re: Extreme goat shoot at Rays in VA

If I get to go it will be with a new scope,load,and bullet.
unless I get a chance to go to the chicken farm before hand.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: M.Williams</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Have you decided on a shorter distance for us slackers? </div></div>What like a mile or less?

 

[Raven 6]

Re: Extreme goat shoot at Rays in VA

A mile should be a challenge for sure. But as I was saying before it's your match I'm just thinking it may get your numbers up some. I know for me 2660 isn't going to happen, but a mile is a possibility.

 

[ck50bmg]

Re: Extreme goat shoot at Rays in VA

I plan on making this one since I was the first to hit the IPSC man at 2444yds a couple years ago and smoked the LIVE GOAT at 2222yds with the 338 XTREME. I may leave the 338 Xtreme in the truck and shoot my 300 win mag just to make it interesting. I just got a new Bushnell HDMR with a H58 in the mail this week to put on the new Diablo Rifle Works 300 win mag that I should have back in a couple days.

Sounds like it will be a good shoot but Ray should put out some 1 mile goats for the close range guys so they won't get there feelings hurt if the can't hit the long goats. It will be a good time for everyone and the more targets the better.

Will see you all there,

[ck50bmg]

Re: Extreme goat shoot at Rays in VA

Ray,
I think you need some 1 mile 308 targets also so we can see how well 118 LR and 155 LAPUA does at a mile. I am sure you will have more shooters wanting to shoot at a mile than at 2600yds.

 

[Raven 6]

Re: Extreme goat shoot at Rays in VA

I'd pay $100 not to have to climb the side of that mountain.lol

 

[benchduck]

Re: Extreme goat shoot at Rays in VA

This time you must hit the target not skip it in side ways.(clark)

 

[SheepDog0372]

AH HA HA HA HA Tell him benchduck, and he spelled his name wrong Im just saying
