Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

That's an EXCELLENT idea. We could have 6-8 shooters through position 1 (which is a time eater) by the time 10am rolls around.

Have fun tomorrow Wayde.

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

7 shooters showed up to brave the heat today, we were done by 1:00
Scores were all over the place, but still a great day of shooting.
Scores 9-7-14-7-18-2-12
So if you think its easy to hit a 6X9 target under 600 yards come on out.
See ya at the next one

mscott/goin'hot

If you guys can get enough guys/shooters to show up by 8:30 am and get going by 9:00 a.m then go for it.
I will be out tonight painting/adjusting targets and everything will be ready by morning.
We've tried this a few times before but it never worked because folks complained about having to get up/travel earlier. If I had my way and I never do.....I would start at 8:30 a.m of when the fog lifts.
I am here to serve the TVP shooters...tell me want and you shall receive...lol.
It matters not to me because I'm live here and I'm up at 5:30-6:00 am everyday and it takes me about one minute to get down to the shooting line. So it wouldn't be fair for me to expect a guy who lives 3 hours away to do the same.
Breaking up in squads can work but we have to decide who is going to do what...and when.
Let me know.

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

hey Tom, really looking forward to shooting TVP in a couple weeks!

I don't know where the official calendar is, but wanted to make sure this was still the plan for September:

17th - Head Hunter Day & Night
18th - Intimidator


back to loading ammo...

 

[mscott]

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

Jim and I plan on being there early, so if anyone wants to get an early start come on out. My thoughts are to start early, but not break up the group. Noone would leave position 1 until 10:15 or everyone has shot. If someone is traveling far there is no need to get there that early. I do understand that. Sound O.K. to you, Tom?

 

[Tom Sarver]

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

Sounds like winner to me..
See you in a.m.

 

[mscott]

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

Another great day of shooting on the Intimidator course. Range looked great today, Tom. Nice to meet some shooters from North Carolina as well.

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

Tom
just wanted to say thanks.... We need to get serious with these 22's ... steel out to 585yds was kick ass.

 

[armorpl8chikn]

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

We had a lot of fun shooting the Intimidator, it is one of the most challenging bits of shooting I have ever attempted. Many thanks for the hospitality and great meeting you fellas.
Tom, many thanks for all the tips you gave us after the match. Thanks to you my knowledge of the long range game just took a giant leap forward!
Joe

 

[Tom Sarver]

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

Joe/NC shooters,

It was a pleasure having you guys here at TVP. Hope to see you again soon. Now that you have spot on data your scores WILL go up.
As far as the help I'm more than happy to share the knowledge and I enjoy helping others. If I'm left with only one TM it's that I never hesitated to help someone.


Wayde,

Your 500 plus yard shots this weekend with a .22 LR shooting subsonics proves my theory once again. Not only did you hit..you hit it twice and the missed shots where well within the 18" x 30"frame.
We are headed toward a "new" long range comp and soon it will be a reality.
Several shooters are giving it a serious thought...the NC shooters here this weekend are all for it!

 

[Brian S.]

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

I'm interested in the 22 idea for sure! I think it would be a great way to introduce new shooters on a super slim budget.

 

[Goin'Hot]

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

I had a great time on Sunday shooting the Intimidator. Just beat the rain. Nice meeting the NC boys. Joe really turned it on for a couple stages. Good shooting Joe.

Looking forward to the next Intimidator and that long range steel getting hung!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah now I'm going to have to look at building a 280ai or something to that extent so I can keep playing at longer ranges

...... It has truely become an addiction.

I'm sure the NC boys found out this weekend about the extensive knowledge at TVP. You guys have helped me greatly and as always everyone appreciates Tom's help/advise.

Now I need to find time to get up there a few more times this year before I get in the woods and try to tag my limit this year.

Thanks,
Merritt

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

I have not been able to make it to TVP this year. I am very curious about the ultra long range hits with a 22 lr. How many minutes did you need to come up?

 

[apache308]

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

Hey Tom - Just wanted to say thanks for puttin' up with us on Sunday. The "chrono" lesson was priceless as was your assistance in getting me ringing the 1 mile steel. I'm still grinnin' about that. I'm making load and glass changes on my 300 right now. We'll be back and will have our shit together next time. It was good meeting Wayde, Gary, Mike and all the other guys and thanks for the help. I'll be back. Steve Roe

[fw707]

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

I found the distances for the combo shoot on the schedule, but can you give me an idea of the format, especially when to switch from a little gun to a big gun?

I hope the Saturday combo isn't filled up.

 

[Breeze260]

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

The combo is the same format as above with 3 more positions. the first 2 are "little gun" and half of the 4th. Its not difficult we have people do it all the time, including myself.
See ya Saturday

Is this your "big or little" guns that your partner was talking about?

<span style="font-weight: bold">Ring</span>
no there is not a time bonus on the short course which is the course use in the AR shoot

But you do have 8 minutes to shoot the stage

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

I read somewhere, that you did not want 30cal. Mag.
used for short shots.
Just wondering if thet applies for 7WSM.
If so, at what distancefor the 300WM and 7WSM?


LOBO 151

 

[Breeze260]

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

7wsm is fine, we try to keep the 30cal mags out passed 300yds but if that's all you have bring it and we'll figure out the rest even if you have to shoot one of my rifles... See ya Saturday

 

[LOBO151]

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

Thank you!

I will just shoot my .260.
Thanks for the offer though!

Are the distances listed measured strait to target or are those ballistic distances that are already corrected for shooting angle ?

no angle is greater then 10^ that i saw there,,,, anything under 10^ has no effect on the distance

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

[CaptainH]

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

Based on past experience, about what time is shooting completed?

 

[Breeze260]

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

It always depends on the # of shooters that show up.... being its the combo lets say between 3 and 5

 

[LibertyArms]

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

Got out with tom today for a traning and get know the courses better. Lookign forward to meeting you all as soon as i can get back out there. Got to try the head hunter, and what a blast. Everyone who can try to get out there should as you will learn a lot.

Sorry most already know this, but was excited to get out that far to shoot. never have before. See ya there

 

[tacshooter223]

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

Great time today as always at tvp. Almost started raining (got maybe 20 drops) but great weather too. The wind got to me and triceratops3 with the .223s. Learned a lot and met some great guys today.

Thanks for a great day Tom and Wayde. Plan on heading back the first and second of October.

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

Another good weekend at Thunder Valley and the place looked great, Thanks Tom

Meet some new shooters, that I'm sure we'll see again, and some I hadn't seen for a while. Good to see everyone out enjoying this great sport.

A few pics from the weekend

This is position 2 of the Head Hunter.... The bush was removed for safety reasons, now you have to shoot off the log.

Target 2, Position 4, on the Intimidator.....you'll need to compensate just a bit for the angle.

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

I had a fantastic time again on Saturday for the Combo shoot. It was a great learning experience. I hit some targets that I thought I wouldn't be able to, but also didn't hit some targets that I thought I should have. I can't wait to go back and try again.

I was wondering about the party too. Maybe we could talk Tom into having the party in Kentucky. I was thinking near Rockcastle Resort. Maybe at this place called Appleby's. I hear they just got the rest of the food we ordered in. The Guiness truck just made the delivery too. The manager was real sorry too. So very sorry. We could then shift the party back to the resort,pay for some ice,and drink beer on patio (since we were not allowed to have a full beer in the glass if the guy sitting next had one too,at Appleby's). The whole time listening to the sweet sounds coming from the Cadillac Escalade parked in front of us.

Sounds like fun...Better yet,Thunder Valley would be alot better.
