Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule
Hi everyone, I live up in Akron and I went down to shoot under Tom's instruction today. Being someone that hasn't shot out much past 300yd, this longer range game was more or less new to me. Tom was very patient with me and guided me through a very comprehensive dope sheet, ranging from 200y-over 1000yd. My last shot was my longest ever so far at 1165yd, and I could put my remington 700 .308 on the 1000yd mark pretty reliably by the end of the day.
Overall, a huge success, and I look forward to making some new friends in the near future as I become a regular here!
Thanks Tom!

I finally get some time to shoot again! It's been awhile since Mammoth but T.A.M. and I will be down August 6-7...we're looking forward to it for sure. She'll finally be able to get some trigger time instead of playing combat photographer for us haha.

Yeah, come down as much as you can to TVP. You will be surprised at how much you can learn and how proficient you will become at engaging long range targets just in a few short months. TVP is the premier shooting facility east of the Mississippi, at least!!!

Another great day at TVP. Small crowd, only 8 shooters, but it was still a great time shooting the intimidator with pretty moderate wind throughout the day.

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule
Yesterday was a good day at Thunder Valley...
I witnessed the Headhunter course get cleaned.
Tom Sarver did that with his .338 Lapua Mag while testing new 300gr. bullets from Berger Bullets. Great shooting Tom. Just another target...right?
I got my barrel back for my Hulk rifle. This new configuration will be fun. Hopefully,I will be able to use it more.

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule
A friend of mine was just up there, and i'm assuming he had a good time. I'll have to talk him into a road trip so he and I can do something out there sometime. I do have a question, is Ohio a suppressor friendly state? I shoot with a suppressor on and would prefer to do all my shooting that way, but I sure would hate to travel all that way and then have a "woops" moment.

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule
Short-bus,
Yes, suppressors are allowed in Ohio. We sell them and several of our customers are running them in our shoots.
Our Head Hunter night shoot is suppressed only and we rent them to shooters who do not have a suppressor of their own.
The Head Hunter was just cleaned with a suppressed .338 LM with a Jaws suppressor built by Shark. Very quiet and very accurate and built like a tank but light enough not to hinder the weapon in anyway.
Looking forward to seeing you and if your buddy was Chet he had a blast. I put him in with two other shooters I was training and by the end of the day he was making some great one shot hits. Nice guy.

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio
Great day at TVP, not too much crazy wind, not too much rain and a good group of shooters. One of the fastest days getting through the intimidator I've seen. Can't wait to get back again!!!

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio
The 3rd and 4th of September is listed as Head Hunter for the 3rd and Intimidator for the 4th. Has the schedule been changed any for that weekend?

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio
Glad to see the fun & learning continues, TVP without a doubt has the best format in terms of being a competitive challenge, but also the place where everyone goes out of their way to help each other learn and improve.
Any details for the Open Range Day on Sat? Shooting from the benches, and/or heading out to some of the positions?
Looking forward to finally making it back, it’s been way to freaking long!

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule
How is the double HH going to be run? Each shooter runs through it twice in a row? Run through shooter lineup twice at each stage? Run through the course, then start over? Sounds like a long day of shooting either way!

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule
I am heading up for the shoot tomorrow, do we have to be there by a certain time for briefings or staging, or is it just going to be an open day to come and go as you please?
I will also be sticking around for the HH on Sun.
See everyone then, Thanks,
M Richardson
