Re: SHWW Group

good time yesterday, thanks tribe and Dontstroke me for coming out to play
Don and I just ran into Rototurner at lunch and we talked about the upcoming match,,,, cant wait.

Big Wheels do we have to range our targets, via mildot or laser or are you going to provide target distances.

and what are the rules concerning rear bags?
 
Re: SHWW Group

Any, & all equipment is OK. You will have some targets to reticle range, & the rest you can use a LRF.(if you don't have a LRF I'll give you the ranges) Some stages may have equipment restrictions. Also, I may stretch you guys out to 1300+/- yds for the last stage too, so have dope calculated to 1400 yds.
Also, if anyone didn't get my PM about the directions, & entry, let me know.

Re: SHWW Group

...waiting wistfully for my PST so I can play again. If they somehow start shipping real soon, I could conceivably be a late 'in', but I'm not holding my breath.

If not, have a ton of fun for me everyone.
 
Re: SHWW Group

u may want to just order something different. i talked to a buddy who handled one and told me he wouldn't even consider one after handling one and playing with it. he said mediocre glass, really!!! loose knobs, and felt kinda cheesy overall. i was going to get one as a backup but i am just going to get bushnell fixed 10x mildot mil knobs for $199 at midway instead.

just thought i would throw this out since i was in the same boat.
 
Re: SHWW Group

Everyone. I do prefer you send in your entry fee's early, as money for preparation is scarce for me. But if you can't send it in early then be sure you bring cash. I'm planning on some cash prizes, as well as some gear I've received from some vendors. Also , please confirm your arrival time, etc. so I know how many will be there Friday night, & how many are staying through Sun.
So far I've had no one ask about the ELR on Sun. So unless there is some interest it will not happen. Although there will still be shooting available on Sun with the regular targets.

Sure thing. I'd imagine you'd have a chance to check it out yourself if you like too.

Thanks for the heads up... I'm going to give it a chance personally before I pass judgement though. I've been nothing but pleased with Vortex thus far. Also, I'm buying from Scott @ Liberty, and have full confidence that if the optic isn't going to work for me that I'll be able to return it and go with something else (I'm not sure what that would be without dropping a bunch more cash -- so definitely have my fingers crossed that Vortex comes through).

Please get me the entry fee before friday the 27th, or I won't get it. Or if you can't mail it, bring cash, & PLEASE let me know you're coming, so I can count on the funds in the pot for prizes, & food.

Re: SHWW Group

Sorry you can't make it.
OK. Update. The road up to BSC is freshly graveled,(ie. covered with about 3"- rock, so take it slow. There are no potholes tho. & it's wider than I've ever seen it.
Almost everything is done in prep for next weekend. I need to drag out 1 more target, & paint a couple with some fresh paint.
Also, I recommend bringing some shooting sticks for 1 of the stages. And bring dope out to 1300+ yds.
I have also been watching the weather forecast for next weekend, & it's fluctuating between 30% chance of showers to sunshine & temps in the low to mid 60's.
The match will go rain or shine so bring appropriate dress.
See you up there.

Re: SHWW Group

As for advertising. I have told a few people not on the hide, or WCT about it, & invited them to watch, or participate. However, I think that a number of people participating might not want too many others knowing they possess this particular skill set. Me included. There are people who would find this kind of competition very disturbing, & could cause trouble. I'd recommend asking your friends to join us on the hide, so we can get to know them before inviting them to watch, or shoot. Nothing personal, just GYA in these troubled times. You may call me with questions if you want.
 
Re: SHWW Group

No thats fine, it was actually a couple people that wanted to get invovled in some sort of long range shooting match. They are members at kenmore range where I am also a member. They we just talking about not having anything close by. It got me thinking if I should say anything or not.
 
Re: SHWW Group

If you know them well, & they are interested, they can come up, & watch this time. The match is pretty full, so I don't want to enter any more, unless someone cancels. I'm kind of wary of letting too many people know where my sacred shooting spots are.. You know.

Bigs, you might want to edit out the GPS coords earlier in the thread... people WILL find it on Google.
