Got it working for now, don't know how long it will last, keeping my fingers crossed!

Heading out at 04:30, that is going to be fun! Assuming all goes well hopefully will be rolling in sometime around 09:00-9:30.

Safe travels,

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio

Had a great time today. Thanks for the hospitality, Tom. Kinda nice sitting around BSing with the guys I haven't seen for a few months. I really need to get out there a little more often. The Headhunter stage was pretty fun as well. Tried the mile target, but just couldn't connect. Maybe next time.
Somebody answer me this...... I've hit the 1650 bonus target 7 or 8 times, but the same target from the benches seems much harder to connect with at about 100 yards farther. What am I missing here?

REALLY looking forward to the longer range steel targets.

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio

Don't know if I saw you there. Today was great though. My buddy and I were very surprised with our .223s at 1k (we were the two kids of to the left figuring out what the hell to do, first time past 300 yards (besides highpower)). At first we had the same problem going from 6 to 700 and were thinking wow.. Only 100 yards where are we hitting? Figured it out and got dialed in though. Thanks and Tom and Wayde. Great place you guys have there.

Sorry but those are few and far between, you can call Tom and try to do some through the week, if his schedule is open. Hunting season is coming fast so the schedule will be thin for a while, will try to get some range days after the Big Buck hits the ground. You can always learn the fast way... just come to the matches. Good to see some friends I haven't seen for a while as well as meet some new ones. And to the youngsters sorry we were all a little busy today, come back and I'll try to do better. Hope I didn't bug you to much while you were shooting.
And last but not least thanks Tom... See ya next week

I agree, I was actually surprised with myself that I was even able to get close to the further plates much less hit them. Hopefully we'll be able to get to know everyone a little better as time goes on and we shoot a few more times. I know I had a great time shooting today. Thank You.

i would like to, but that depends if you can hang out after the match and keep shooting?
diving 2 hours and 30$ to shoot a few targets and diving back is not a well spent training day

You can always hang out after the matches and shoot more. A lot of shooters do that. The match fee includes the whole day of shooting.

 

[Tom Sarver]

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio

Any and every match/shoot is a training day in the minds of most of our shooters.
Each course of fire is a trainin course with a shooter ending up with the high score at the end of the day.
A 12 target course..a 16 target course and a 20 target course as well as a 28 target course is available.
As a member you pay ONLY $20 and nonmembers pay $30. Very reasonable for most everyone and especially for us considering the cost to operate.
As always.. after a shoot we go back to the benches and shoot prone, bench or 4 other shooting positions till dark usually.
We typically finish up around 3-5 pm or sooner then this leaves ample time to train even more.
So, for the total cost the shooters get a great deal of training in as well as make new friends and the entertainment is free.
Most of our shooters drive 1-4 hours and attend 1-8 times per month with and average of 4 times per month. These shooters scores show.
Nothing like a good day of training!

magnums on short course?

 

[armorpl8chikn]

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio

I am getting geared up to drive 8 hours, stay in a motel, spend $30 to shoot 16 targets and if I did nothing else, I would consider that one hell of a deal to do this kind of shooting.

 

[fw707]

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio

So do the shoots require advance registration?

 

[Ring]

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio

many do.. but i shoot 700 to 800y 2 times a week 15min from my house... TVP is sweet as hell, but the guys i go with need allot of bang for the buck or they wont go...

[olddudesrule]

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio

Tom,
Just what I was thinking. A little background for the folks. I'm not a new shooter, but new to long range. I came up from NC and took Tom's course in May. This week I was at TVP 3 times, shot the imtimidator match, an open range day, and the headhunter match. I learned a lot from both the hits and misses. These courses don't look very tough on paper, but the way they are layed out they are very challenging.I saw a lot of very experienced shooters missing targets. The cross winds swirling in those hills has to be experienced first hand. The courses of fire,the good people you meet and spend the day with, and the experience you gain, is well worth the price. Thanks Tom and shooters for a good week.

I wish I could make this match on the 4th. Shooting with the gents from North Carolina is always a good time. Unfortunately work is getting in the way of fun at the range. Maybe next time.

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio

GPS has been on the web page ever since it was redone... a while and as far as the address if you put something in the mail and want it to get to Tom's mailbox you better use this...15786 TR.118 Kimbolton, Ohio 43749

Hey 'Humper. Yeah....contrary to popular belief I do build and shoot rifles now and then. Don't tell the SP guys I am playing hooky from the IHMSA Regionals in order to shoot TVP!

Gonna shoot my 300WM 700 this weekend. In all honesty, I would like to give the short course a go with my 308 XP. Maybe someday.

Counting the bonus target you could spend 51 rounds max. You can also hang out and shoot after the match, so you may want to bring extra.
