Shooters,

round up a partner and come out to our Team Steel Shoot Aug 23rd. Cost is $30 per person. 4 positions 16 targets 1 bonus target 51 rounds needed minimum. Winners receive entry fee back.
We will be having a YEAR END shoot planned and hopefully some kind of get together for all to attend.

I should have a partner, but would be happy to shoot twice to help out if needed

I/We can figure out the partners once you get there if needed.
So far, under this format, I've put hunting buddies together first.
Experienced shooters second.

Tom,
Thank-you for a great season.
This has shown me precision on a whole new level.
Semi-pro archery has sponsers.
People still bitch when you take out their knock!

Year end shoot?
Smells like Fall Classic!

You guys are lucky to have a range in your lo-cal. Thunder Valley offers the oppertunity to get off a square range and ranges other than 100 yard increments (field condition). It's a 7 hr drive for me. If I lived closer I would have to have an allotment taken out!

Tom, I'll be back in the spring.

One of the most beautiful pictures you have taking Glen....I love the sky around TVP it's always so full of ever changing scenes. If I would have only taken half the pictures I could have....Thanks.

Wow....guys thanks for a truly great day! It was AWESOME.
I had a great time and I needed the break....which it TRULY was a break. I know most people would say "man i would love to have this range in my back yard". Today felt like fun..not work. I appreciate you guys supporting us. It made me feel good to shoot with you guys. Lots of fun I had today I hope you guys had half the fun I did.
Good to see you again Karl, Rodent and Sheldon and all others. I hope our new guy Josh enjoyed himself as well.

Tom-
Great time as usual.Its been a long time to even handle my rifles.I'm surprized I still knew how to shoot them.Some of the mistakes I made were stupid,You probably heard me acknowledge some of them.I'm glad you opened up your back yard for all of to play in it.Can't wait for the next match.I'll be better prepared.

TCA4570-HeeHaw...That brought back the memories of being a kid on saturday night in the 70s.My question is...What ever happened to the HeeHaw girls?I think one of them married Kenny Rogers.Not Sure.Most of them looked pretty good.

Josh-Did you become a member?I forgot to tell you about an Armalite AR10T I have for sale.Its a .308.Let me know if you are interested.Or contact Tom,he will let me know.I'm kind of happy you did well with my.308.Its been a good rifle.You also got to see while shooting the .223 to 1000 yards,the wind and gravity owns the bullet.It is a fun rifle,and cheap to shoot too.

Rodent,
Bring that boy a rifle next time so he can shoot with us.
Good kid you got there. .223 is all he needs. He could use Karls I'm sure.
Nice having you back. Now if you can get that "HILLBILLY JEW"
to come we could have some real entertainment.
Our end of the year shoot should be a blast. I will have a date soon.

Rodent-

Tyler can certainly use my .223. It will do 1100 easy with very slight recoil.I'll bring plenty of ammo too.That way Tyler can shoot it before hand.Let me know.I can email you a drop chart for the distances at Thunder Valley.That way there he can get used to twisting the knobs on your rifle.

I think my son is coming out to shoot the next match.He has been wanting to shoot the steel targets.Its been awhile since he has been there.I hope he can make it.The girlfriends are getting in the way for him.

Hey Tom,
I gotta say the team format with a time limit definately adds a new level of excitement to this game. That was a good time except for the fact I shot like crap when it came to hitting targets
blush.gif
. Looking back it seems I let the thought of the timer running get in the way of setting up the shot and follow-through. That was a huge lesson learned. Thanks for that!! Can't wait to do it again.

Re: TVP Team Match Aug 23rd 10:00 a.m.

As always it is a good match. Just wish I would quit having gun issues - endcap loosening on the supressor thus destroying accuracy and not resetting sight settings correctly for non supressor use. I hate showing up and looking the old fool that I am! I believe that I am a good shot but I guess that I am trying to hide that fact from everyone. S..t F..k!


Tom: lets have more matches besides the year ender - I need more chances to embarras myself!

Re: TVP Team Match Aug 23rd 10:00 a.m.

Looks like you guys had a good turn out! Maybe next time always seems like something comes up oh well guess thats what I get for having 3 girls.. Who all is going to be at Rayners range on the 30th for there Long Range Rifle Match? I know some guys were talking about going.

Re: TVP Team Match Aug 23rd 10:00 a.m.

Van, I thought Hee Haw was fitting after the way we shot!
They're probably in your pics!
Time limit keeps me from writing data.
Past did not work.

How can we improve?

I'll try to get the pics up tomorrow.
Just added tags to a couple vids.
Should be five from Sunday.

Sheldon, could you check my tube?

Re: TVP Team Match Aug 23rd 10:00 a.m.

Scores were down because of the added pressure of the time element & the wind. If we could talk the wind into being perfectly still, talk the sun into either staying behind the clouds or out in the open we'd have it made.

Communication between shooting partners comes with team shooting experience. If you constantly switch partners, you'll be at a disadvantage. I've already talked to my shooting partner about what we need to change and how we can be more productive at each station at the next team match. We missed some of the "easier" shots that most count on hitting. If you miss three targets, theres 30 points.

The time element really plays on the mind ..... in a good way.

TCA4570-

Your camera takes pretty good pictures.I'm impressed.It can also take pictures that make me look 130 pounds heavier.I'll keep on telling myself,"Its trick photography...Glen got a special lens to do that...Damn."

You're correct I did say 10 MOA down.Thats what I understood as the blue and orange ribbons.They were about 3 +/- feet apart.But they were down from the dirt.Below the upsidedown "T".I followed the tracks down.If you listen to one of the videos,I asked,"2100 yards?".Tom replied,"2400".

Makes sense.




Communication counts.In a big way.

Practice counts.

Knowing what the rifle is capable of counts.

Knowing the load that you are shooting counts too.

I am not mentioning the other variables with the surroundings.



I don't know if anybody noticed--I got Josh my .308 from my truck to use.

What did he do with it?
How did he do?

Josh shot steel.He did well.

What was MY mistake?



I should have been using my .308 all day long.I should have been using a load I know,with a rifle I know.Stages 3 and 4 I switched to another load.I started scoring from there.I could go on with my mistakes,but why bore anybody with that.I only hope I remember them the next time I am shooting with all of you.I'm going to start working on the practice.

Practice for Sunday.

Shooters,
We will be having a meeting next match. A meeting to improve things here at TVP.

My work is picking up and I need to spread out some duties for those who want to help out. Glen has been a great help as well as others. I have a plan.
I'm working on the next date now.

Re: TVP Team Match Aug 23rd 10:00 a.m.

I also need to add.

That right there,was a problem.I would have probably shot better in that stage had I not been messing around with my cell phone.I should have paying attention to the changing conditions instead of what was on the screen.Did anybody else notice the change?

Sorry Tom-I had my head in my ass.
