Invitation to shoot a new Benchrest venue!!

[gkgeiger]

Cuzz, I believe Ivan responded to this on another forum. Don't remember which. I think there was no problem.

Thanks gkgeiger, it looks promising to those of us that believe this is more baloney than threat but i didn’t see a guarantee. I’d sure hate to drive 6 hours and pay for a motel room to be told to wear a mask or git kicked out.

 

[Cuzz]

Am i correct in thinking that a vudoo repeater will have to shoot in unlimited?

Do the Vudoo and RimX actions fit in the factory class?

Yessir, they do, we call it the Factory Hot Rod Class. It's not as restrictive as typical factory class matches, so bring it and shoot....

If you are shooting on a one piece rest then the answer would be yes. Two piece rest system no.

thanks again Candoo, I will check again a few days before the match to be sure we don’t have to wear masks.

Dumb question, I’ve never shot BR competitively so this would be my first time. I’d be shooting an Anny 64MPR. I’d have no delusions of being competitive other than with myself.....so my question is whether the spots are open to average Joe‘s or is the intent for serious competitors to be the ones signing up?

All i can tell you for fact is that i’ve shot 2 air rifle and 22lr matches in my life and i am signed up. I have no intentions of shooting in the top half. This is mostly a learning thing for me. But i am gona shoot as well as i can.

I've shot 3 matches now with my new Holeshot BR rifle. My goal was to not be last. I'm shooting mid pack and now I want to be near the top.

Ive learned that with a v22 i can shoot factory if i don’t use one piece rest and that’s what i intend to do. ive seen a hole shot, they are very good looking actions.
I’m sure you know that it ain’t gona be who pulls the trigger the best, is gona be the wind reader and that definitely ain’t me.

Get a copy of Landy’s POA chart. It has helped me a lot. Good luck

A copy is attached for your review. I added the directions for my range, so I can correlate the wind forecast with Landy's chart.

Actually, this is the one I was referring to. It has POA.

Yep, saw that one too. I think the wind varies and is almost never 5mph, so you will have to adjust any hold-offs based on sighters/flags. Both are good references for shooters.

Thanks Mike, I was hoping i’d see you there. Save me a mag if you can.

 

[Roscoe230]

Ivan, I am curious and IAM sure others may be also. With the list of shooters firming up could you give an approximate number of unlimited shooters and factory shooters if you have time. Thanks.

 

[Cuzz]

I don’t think I had to specify which class i was shooting in, maybe he doesn’t know until we fill out papers? I’m shooting hot rod.

 

[Candoo]

I looked at the list of people I know and ones I don't, my guess is it will be about equal. Maybe something like 28 U.L. shooters, 32 F.H.R. shooters.

Hope this helps!!

Well I would have a mask handy. Just in case it’s needed.

Good luck to all the shooters. Can't wait to see the results and reviews of the he v22s. Safe travels

 

[marks_a18138]

I am already in Ky!

 

[simpletoms]

Well bummer. Guess I should have check this page more often… Signed up and never got confirmation that I made the list… next shoot for sure. Hope it went well!

 

[Cuzz]

It did go very well except for my poor shooting. I was glad to meet several from here and a few others. Names i remember are Cando,Larry, Mike &Norm . Little rain cooled it off a little. People were great as were the burgers!

 

[marks_a18138]

Man I had a lot fun, this was my first BR with more than 9 people LOL. I wish I would have done better but I needed more patience...I want to thank Mark Tracy for giving up any chance he had letting me share his rig...Man it was nice rifle and I did it zero justice. I felt bad for Mark having to babysit me the whole time. To me that is a real shooter/competitor!

 

[10ring1]

Ok... magic question. How did the v22s do? Was it used to compete by any of the competitors?

Is v22 the new single shot? Mike showed a newer version of it and there was another complete gun with a beautiful laminated stock, I understood that it was one of the first ones. But i don’t think they are ready for competition yet.

Hey Mark,

You did just fine, and Mark is one of the good guys in RFBR. Were you shooting his Midas+ 28-9333 or the Tenex 1018-2279?

Landy

No. The V22s was not at the match, but Mike had a few of the new actions we could look at. Man, that Vudoo-Flavio trigger is so sweet, and you just think about touching it and it goes off. Ivan had one of his match rifles at the match on display.

i think the complete gun was not the vudoo

 

[marks_a18138]

Yes the complete rifle was the Ivan built prototype V22S

 

[JG26_Irish]

Enjoyed the match. The new tgt is nice and it was great to meet Mike, Norm, Larry, Todd and so many other great shooters. Being new, I wish I had taken the match a bit more seriously. I brought an un-proven albeit great shooting old Win 52B is with an antique 10x Fecker scope. While it shot good, I was still messing around with ammo lots to get the best out of it. I only had enough of its best lot for one card which was OK. I switched to a new lot of Eley on the last card a was able to score a 2000 on it. Wish, I had taken the time to try that lot at home before I got to the match, lol. Had I realized how serious this match was, I might have brought a more proven and tested rifle. Live and learn.

Fun event with good people. Suggestions: Offer a junior class and consider offering a factory stock class which would allow the Vudoos, Annies, Sakos and other nice factory original rifles to compete on a level field. The Hot Rod class is great and I would keep it but it was so open that it made a maxxed out hot rod so much like a unlimited rifle that the only real difference was the two piece rest. Just food for thought.
