Tribe. Practice up with the pistol, & carry it where you can get to it quickly in a pinch.

Then if there are any bear problems we can all have bear-kabobs for dinner that night.

Re: SHWW Group

Let's see, shooting skills a work in progress(gross understatement most likely, particularly with a pistola), navigational skills OK though. Carl if you have your second shoot in far eastern WA or North Central WA, I can probably help with setup as I normally work M-Th.

I'm interested in competing, but will have to wait a bit to give you a definitive answer. However, if I could reprogram TSI's GPS or change his declination on the compass, that might be worth the price of admission itself

Angry bear vs pistol? Bear wins.

Re: SHWW Group

Tribe, that's what the Ole Thunder Stick slung over your shoulder is for.

In all seriousness breaking your leg running around in the dark is more of a risk than the critters.

He may win, but after a mag full of whatever I have on me he isn't going to be happily enjoying the victory.

Besides.....I'd be more concerned about running into 1911fan and Milanuk in the dark......

Re: SHWW Group

Wow, this sounds like an intense event and definitely something that would be memorable! I know nothing about navigation.. but iphones have an app for everything, right?

Re: SHWW Group

I figured Monte would be packing JTP in his backpack. I'm saying a bear will run from the wookie!

Re: SHWW Group

So far its looking good. Relax though. It won't be where we do the Steel Challenge. It will be more, lets say... central location. So, don't worry about the bears and other critters.

Besides the match it will be a great training event for those of you who like to hunt. Problems to solve, besides the navigation.

Recon and surveillance for a hit just at daylight.....?? Sounds like a true "sniper" match. I certainly don't claim to be one of those guys, I'm way too lazy, but would be interested in the match pending other commitments. </div></div>

Yep, R&S = Recon & Surveillance
BMNT = Begin Morning Nautical Twilight

This sounds like a fun field exercise! I would miss some school for this...

Re: SHWW Group

Wow. That sounds ridiculously fun. I sort of feel like I've stumbled upon the the lost boys secret hideout in reading SHWW. I mean pirate ships, underwater tigers, camp outs, mysterious pre-dawn missions. This is awesome.

 

[blurry6]

Re: SHWW Group

This sounds like a lot of fun,... just wondering where it is,... any 'restriction' on a long-action? I was thinking of a .270 Win,.. nothin' overpowered,... It'll only reach out to 1500-yrds with 165gr Matrix's before going subsonic

Hey fellas - check out the GB with HSSS for his custom Atlas feet. These may solve a problem for you. They sure did for me.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: kocoa88</div><div class="ubbcode-body">All,

I'm looking to put another comp together for June 30th - July 1st 2012. This will be a true shoot move and communicate course of fire covering two days. Rifle and pistol stages of fire and land navigation (GPS will be allowed) to each shooting stage of fire.

Shooters will be dropped off in a unknown location. Shooters will be given a grid to their first shooting station and time will start.

Without giving out much more details than I already have I think you get the general idea.

Let me know.

</div></div>

This looks good to me. I am trying to make any of them I can at this point. I'll check back for sign-ups unless I missed them somewhere.

Wilbur, WA Google Maps

 

[ranger1183]

Re: SHWW Group

It certainly appears that there are some primo shooting locations in that area. And you could use the rivers as boundries to keep the strays from wandering to far off course.

Re: SHWW Group

A <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-size: 17pt">BIG</span> Thank You </span>to BigWheels for having myself and Unknown out at the range up in Acme. We had a great day, the weather was perfect, and I took my very first shot at beyond 1K (1250) and hit my first time out of the gate. Here's some photos of BigWheels and Unknown going 700-800 and one panoramic of the range.

 

[Bigwheels]

Re: SHWW Group

You guys are welcome. Congrats on a 1st rnd hit @ 1250. Actually we all got 1st rnd hits out there.

You both shot well.
I guess Tribe must have been a LONG way away yesterday, as the weather couldn't have been better.

Less than 2 mph wind but it was switching back, & forth a lot, as usual for up there. After you left I thought about going up to the 1950yd spot, but figured with the ground frozen I couldn't see any splash, so I left a little while after you did. A good days shooting.

Re: SHWW Group

Bah... too easy without a little sideways rain!

Re: SHWW Group

Hey guys, here is the location of where I want to host a match this summer. It will be a smaller match, and my first as a MD. But it should be super fun.

This is some pictures of my little range!! We could stretch it out to about 3000 yards.

And possibly a round or two across the river!!

BTW, is that legal???

 

[Tribe]

Re: SHWW Group

Beautiful spot! I do not believe it is legal....?

 

[TEAMSENDIT]

Re: SHWW Group

looks sweet jake!! might be even more of a fire hazard than ellensburg in summer though, which is perfect because summer time is for boating not laying down on the hot as ground getting cooked.

I vote for early june for the match, if my vote matters at all.

Hell... I've got no idea.... I just would have sworn I read something hokey about shooting over body's of water... kinda like shooting over roads....

 

[Bigwheels]

Re: SHWW Group

Nice Jake. Was the wind blowing 20 still?
And technically it is illegal to shoot a rifle, or pistol across a body of water. Something about skipping.

 

[*Nine]

Re: SHWW Group

Jake, that place looks awesome. I'm definitely down for a match there!

Also, my new rifle that JD (hsss) built for me showed up today. It's a .260 built on a Surgeon 591 action. I'm heading out tomorrow to shoot it a bit and get a load cooked up.

 

[Tribe]

Re: SHWW Group

NiiiiiiiiiiiiiCE..... If that thing shoots HALF as nice as it looks..... Watch the f&#* out!

Re: SHWW Group

Thanks, but now I'll need to come up with an excuse other than blaming the rifle when things don't go well.

 

[jcwarrior87]

Re: SHWW Group

O that was yours, I bet it will shoot, all the rifles from jd that I have are great shooters.
