Re: SHWW Group

Well folks, I'm back from a horrible week working out of town. I spent my days riding around in an atv inspecting powerlines and scouting for places to shoot LR on Stampede Pass. It was a tough job but somebody had to do it. Found several good places to shoot and even more that deserve more exploring---I didn't get many pics tho-- I will try and do better next week. Looks like I got back in time to get my shirts ordered and get ready for next weekends get together. Most of the sights will be excellent places to practice serious angle shots both up and down. All of them can be reached within easy traveling form each other and camping areas for anyone so inclined.

I think the un-offical plan is to meet in port angelas at around 9am sat morning.

Re: SHWW Group

Yep, that's what I remembered also---Graham and Lacey are close enough to each other and we will probably be traveling the same route was what I was thinking

 

[Diggerline59]

Re: SHWW Group

umm... I'm probably gonna be leaving around 6 or so, so i can get up there on time. what way are you going to be going? 101 or crossing the bridge?

I might have a friend coming up with me that gonna be alright?

 

[Diggerline59]

Re: SHWW Group

couple questions...

1) How much ammo do you guys burn through on these trips?

2) what .308 ammo should I buy? I dont have a ton of money, but I'm guessing the $13 a box federal stuff wont get me near as accurate as what you guys are shooting.

Re: SHWW Group

F9wine and the Sheriff are in.

Re: SHWW Group

This run is closed...in order to hopefully get them before the shootout.

We can always do another run.....this is going to Sniper CJ so we should know pricing soon....I will let the thread know how much each person owes.

All up to you man... I'm typically upwards of 200 (unless my trigger breaks

) for a full day... I'll bring more since this is a two day deal... but there's going to be a lot of guys up there - thus plenty of distractions to keep round counts down

...

That being said, I've also spent 3 hour sessions with as few as 20-40 rounds... taking notes on each shot and all of that good stuff... from what I'm gathering, I think this should be your approach. Buy as much GOOD MATCH ammo as you can afford, and really take your time. Study each and every shot, take notes & diagram POI's (bring a notebook/log book of some sort). You'll get much more out of time spent this way, than mindlessly blasting away anyway.

You want the Match ammo, so as to remove as many variables as possible... if you don't know what I mean now, you will by the end of the day Saturday... it's one of those things, where you can chase your tail down the rabbit hole trying to deciefer all of the variables... you don't want your ammo adding to the chaos...................... but it still will!

Re: SHWW Group

Doesn't look like we got it together in tome for this shootout.....does everybody want their shit shipped indavidually or all shipped to me and we can distribute next time we shoot? If you want it shipped direct to you it is going to cost you the exact freight....if it comes to me it is the cost of one big box divided by 37.

You are staying the night Tribe? The whole clan?

Re: SHWW Group

Anybody have a spare bipod? I am going to order one from Triad but am leary on making it in time....I know I FTD.....give me yours and I will replace it or whatever....or buy it....ideal is the 6-9" notched swivel.

I've got a couple extra of the Medium sized ones I'll bring.. neither notched, one is swivel....

Not yet.....this is the last I got from SniperCJ this AM.

Re: SHWW Group

I might need mine shipped individually... I go back to montana in less than a month :-/

any of you guys having stores near you carrying match ammo? I checked sportsmans, cabelas, and the gun store around town and nobody has anything for .308

what caliber match ammo? what grain bullet? How much are you looking for?

Post Falls, ID (on I-90) has had .308 match ammo very recently. Check there on your drive through.

Re: SHWW Group

Digger... you may just need to make do with whatever you can get your hands on at this point... which may likely be ANYTHING you can find right now.

Joe, yes me and the clan are camping out... Also, I grabbed a pair of 18" 3/4' pipes for ya'... also finished off a pair of New & Improved stands for the two plates I've been dragging around... they came out pretty nice... but ARE NOT .50 proof!

The base edge I had and some plow bolts welded in the holes...works pretty good to just stick 18" black iron pipe is 3/4" size on the bolts.

If someon e could help the cause and bring 10 pieces of black iron pipe 3/4" in size and 18" long we will have 5 more steel targets....these should be 50 cal rated! They are about 1" thick DH2 steel and are 11" high and 18" and 16" and 11" wide. </div></div>

I have a spare Phoenix Tactical "5.5 Tac" conversion of the 6-9" notched/swiveled with the "blade feet" that you can use for the shoot. It's a harris on 'roids

If you like it, I might be able to bring myself to sell it since I have a spare on a gun I haven't been shooting much -- the conversion is kinda spendy (cost me $200 for the whole setup), but I really like it. But either way, you're welcome to use it.

Hey guys -- not to spam up the topic here, but if any of you are after an XD-45 Compact, I've put one up in the for sale section:

I'll knock $25 off if any of you guys would like to purchase it at our upcoming shoot (plus you can check it out/shoot it in person before you buy).

Yeah dude if you could bring it to the shoot that would be great....not sure I can spend $200 on a bipod right now but if you want to sell it someone there might want it.....we should call this a shoot/swap meet!!!

No problem, I'll bring it along. I'm not dying to sell it or anything right now -- but if somebody wants to buy it, I wouldn't have a problem letting it go for a bit cheaper than what I paid (used merchandise discount or whatever).

Re: SHWW Group

PM'd the guy about that ammo. right now i've got 40 rounds of santa barbra surplus then another 30 or so of cheap federal and remington so i'll be able to shoot, it would just be nice to get some stuff that will fly well

Re: SHWW Group

4 days left. Hope you guys are getting ready for this. Should be a good time. Im probably going to bring the shot gun too for a little clay shooting, that way the fun can continue once all the match ammo is used up. If anyone else wants to join in thats cool. we just need to pick up all the used hulls though. i might be bringing a few things to sell, so people should probably have some cash on hand for the "trading" thats going to take place.
