Re: SHWW Group

Targets are totally portable so we can put them wherever.

Bigwheels, Blackwidow and myself are leaving Albertson's at 13:30 Friday the 5th.

If you are coming out Saturday please figure a time that you belive you will be at the spot and we will take a break at that time to avoid any confusion. I belive that is Tribe on that one.


Loading targets currently but hopefully we can have a bit of a arrive and depart plan (timewise).

 

[Tribe]

Re: SHWW Group

I'm planning on leaving Alby's no later than 9:30... so expect the convoy (if any) 10:15-10:30....

If anyone is planning on meeting me at Alby's please let me know, so I can look out for you.... be advised, this bus won't wait

BTW... I believe I'm gonna need some serious carbine time as well

DSM... I've got your book.

Mattj.... I've got your crap.....

Can't wait.... been a looooong off season!

Oh..... and The Moth is at the gun plumber's..... toasted the barrel in 2.5 months....

Heh... that's what I said!

Yes, it was a 6x47L.... right now, I'm just having a 308 spun up on a 30 cal ABS I had waiting for a home.... I'm thinking of moving to 260Rem.... hopefully a bit more forgiving in terms of barrel life vs. hard (read ::stupid::

) shooting.... and if that don't work out.... I'm down with 308!

 

[Tribe]

Re: SHWW Group

Longeyes.... I think I've got the system figured out.... hopefully it will actually shoot!

 

[longeyes]

Re: SHWW Group

Cool --- see ya sat

 

[dontstrokeme]

Re: SHWW Group

Yeah paper are good...you know the range longeyes so it is a drive down to check paper though.


Tribe, I have a 7-08 on order right now and plan on going to 18" with it....should be a good time, might even be able to convert you.

Re: SHWW Group

Hey DS:
Make sure and have at least one person camp up on the top of the range, that way we are sure no one beats us up there sat am.

Thank you sir.

Market Garden and I are pooling and plan to be at Albys for the convoy, but if the boat is slow or something, my GPS can get us to the spot.

But it is scary up there all by your self!!!!

I am thinking we might just camp up there like we did last time....I am toying with the notion of a little night shooting.

DON'T FORGET YOUR TRADE/SALE FODDER!!!! YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO SHOOT WITHOUT FODDER!!!!!!

Good shooting today by all, I had a great time.

Re: SHWW Group

Hey fellas.... I just want to say how truly grateful I am for having a group of guys that like to get together and do this stuff! I feel like a kid on Christmas day, every time we put together one of these things... Thanks everybody, just for coming out, being cool, and sharing... I got to wander down the line, and get little tastes here and there... Like a kick-ass sampler tray at Hooters or somethin'!

Special thanks to Rotor for handling Steel Jockey duties....

And of course, last but not least.... especially to DSM, for organizing everything, holding down the fort, providing the steel.... You da' man! .....oh and congratulations on that whole "puberty thing", finally working out!

 

[BOOTNECK9Z45]

Re: SHWW Group

Many thanks for a great day DSM ... Rotor and all that put this together..The three hour drive home gave me time to process what I learned during the day (the brain is not what it used to be ! )
Rotor..The paint is a small price to pay..use it up!!
Tribe..next weekend Sunday would be best for me ..let me know

Thanks once again

Mike

Re: SHWW Group

Thanks guys for a great day!

 

[hopps]

Re: SHWW Group

great time guys, was bummed I didn't have the scope for the .50 and I ran out of ammo so fast...


When I got home I had to do some more testing and i got the ar10 pushing those 208s @ 2550 now without showing excessive pressure signs...

 

[longeyes]

Re: SHWW Group

Awesome weekend---Thanks DSM, Rotor, Widow and any body else I'm forgetting. Once again you guys host a great weekend. I had a great time met some new shooters and learned book loads.
Ohh and DSM that is a pretty stylish whisker set you're sporting.
Widow, that cannon of yours is quite a stick--nice

 

[Bigwheels]

Re: SHWW Group

Well, the ferry didn't sink on the way home. I had a great time, met a bunch of great guys, & learned a lot. Thanks DSM, BW, & everyone else. Love to do it again.
Hey longeyes, PM me an address & I'll send you the instructions for that wind meter.
Have a lot of data to assimilate. So , off I go.

Re: SHWW Group

No worries!!! Always a good time and more than happy to do it. Anyone know the next "bullshit" holiday? Thinking that people might have better odds of staying longer if there was a holiday near.

I think the winner take all portion was for the night shoot Rotor.

Re: SHWW Group

had a fun time guys maybe next time i make it out the widow will be shooting better. once that happens bigwheels i'll head up your way to blast some of your steel at 2000yds hehehe i'll try not to dent it!

 

[DAFAR]

Re: SHWW Group

Wow Guys I just wanted to say thanks to joe and rotor and everyone else that helped to set this up, we had a great time and cant wait to do it again.
Of course as always I left with lots of ideas and desires

Does anyone know the name of the gun shop that brought a couple of demo rifles to the JTP match last year? it was r something

Re: SHWW Group

You should see them shoot!

 

[Bigwheels]

Re: SHWW Group

Hey Black Widow. I just looked @ that clear cut we were wondering how far it was. You remember, the one on the ridge over that point. It's over 8K yds. The little point in front of it was 3400 yds.(Google Earth is my friend) You'd better load that cannon a little hotter if you want to reach over there!

 

[BOOTNECK9Z45]

Re: SHWW Group

Rotor

I am a member at Kitsap if you want to go out there sometime and put some rounds through the chronograph
Have a couple of cases of clays which are fun at 200
Not like last weekend though!!

Mike

 

[Rotortuner]

Re: SHWW Group

That sounds like a good time, we will be in touch.

No problem on running steal for you guys, its actually pretty fun. As long as we keep getting together and its not pouring rain I will run the steel. I cant wait for summer when it gets dark later, we will have some good shoots this summer, that's for sure.

CJG

Re: SHWW Group

Rotor...I think I am just going to run my current setup with the WSM and just pay the $30 extra. It would really be pucshing it top run the 7-08. And the more I look at scopes I am probably going to go with MIL/MIL and max out at 10x. Just use the 7-08 as a Midrange rifle...that can go out to 1200 ish, but for now I know the WSM and it is ready to run.



What is the date/itenerary for the Findly Cup? 3-27-10?

Teams are:

#1) Tribe & Longeyes
#2) MattJ & Market Garden
#3) Dafar & Don
#4) Rotor & Dontstrokeme

Is this the SHWW showing?

PS does everybody have some loop velcor attatchment point? Gonna ask Stu about some SHWW patches.

 

[BOOTNECK9Z45]

Re: SHWW Group

Wish I could be there but I have to be in Sacramento for the Rifles Only PR 1 & 2 on the 29th so will be driving Sunday.
Bring home the money guys !!

Mike

 

[blackwidow2912]

Re: SHWW Group

hey big, 8k? huh well i guess i could lob it out there like an artilery shell hehehe 3400yds if i had a more stream line bullet and that progressive twist barrel i was talking about that i might be able to hit need a new scope though not enough adj in my leupy

 

[Rotortuner]

Re: SHWW Group

Sounds good DS. I bought that accupoint today, that has the mil reticle in it so I should be able to spot too. I think we are set now, just need some practice... I think this is going to be a real good time for all.

CJG

 

[mattj]

Re: SHWW Group

Thanks to everybody for the awesome shoot last weekend -- and especially you guys who did the org and grunt work. I'm learning a ton each time we go out there.

That's an affirmative for MG and I teaming up at the Findlay Cup.

SHWW patches would be wicked awesome... would like great on the velcro strip on my pack.

 

[DAFAR]

Re: SHWW Group

Hey Guys a couple of things.
1 Very regrettfully with the switch in the dates Don and I will not be able to make the jtp match or the steel challenge this year

2 out of curiousity was anyone using a 10x scope this weekend? if so I am curious as to how it worked on the longer targets

 

[*Nine]

Re: SHWW Group

I was using a 3-9x Accupoint on my AR-15 (at 9x). I didn't attempt a shot on the real long targets, but I did spot for Matt on the 1020 yard target with to see if it was doable for the wenatchee match. I had no problem at all spotting misses, and I would have had no problem using that scope to engage targets out past 1k if it weren't mounted on a .223.

 

[Rotortuner]

Re: SHWW Group

Tribe and long eyes. I saw this and thought of you guys because of how much you shoot:
http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1617648&gonew=1#UNREAD

Still on the high side, watch it and see if he lowers the price.

[Nailz]

Re: SHWW Group

Hey guys, I'd like to be counted in on the cup as well. Sounds like fun and I am sure I would learn a lot, please keep me in the loop!
