Re: Thunder Valley Precision (TVP) Steel Shoot 1-3
Topstrap,
I see what you are saying, the reason it's laid out the way it is, from what I understand, is to provide different vantage points from which to shoot from, with varying wind conditions, land features etc.
Summertime matches have a lot more daylight to play with so it makes it easier to get everyone thru the stages, wintertime will pose a bigger time issue.
It was setup this way to get guys off the bench, out shooting prone in the field.
In the past Tom has run a steel plate match from the bench with targets at 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 900, 1000, 1050 and 1100 yards.
I have only attended one of the Tactical Steel matches, It was a night shoot, but we shot the steel course during the day as a train up, it went smoothly, and quicker than I thought it would, I think there were 20 guys during the day and 12 at night if I recall correctly.
Eventually if everyone follows thru with their plans to attend, either multiple safe simultaneous shooting positions will have to come into play or there will have to be a limit on the number of shooters allowed to attend.
