[Longshot]

Yep I'd think that would be good to go! I warn you these matches are fun. And addictive! If you shoot one it won't be your last lol.

 

[DILLIGAF]

I cant hardly wait. This will be fun. Hopefully learn a few things along the way.

BTW - for people who haven't been to the Nanaimo Military range, where would one be able to find directions to it?

No problem. Yes you can share/shoot the same rifle. We call it "hot gunning".

ugg..I guess I better get out and start shooting again
should be fun!

Oh...here comes the gaming . bm, you have probably worn out a barrel practicing to show the mainlanders how it is done on the Island.

So I have no partner for this match, but would love to come out and shoot. Any one else out there looking for a partner?
Or should I just mail in the entry and see what happens?

Send it in! See post #16.

Poor guy who gets me as a partner. Ive never shot further than 200 yards.... lol....

Oh yeah...more What rifle are you shooting? Your grandfathers surplus 308?? Nooo..

I have my 10 FCPK in a MDT Tac21 chassis,

At 600 m your bullet won't even have time to go to sleep. It can only shoot consistent groups at 1k . I think that is what Jerry at Mystic Precision said.

Entry is in the mail, looking forward to the shoot.

 

[DILLIGAF]

You are more than welcome to try it out.....

These are directions from a several years ago so may not be entirely accurate.
From Departure Bay Ferry Terminal:
Keep heading south along Stewart Avenue. It terminates and becomes Terminal Ave (The Old Island Hwy 4).
Keep heading south across the bridge into 'Downtown'
At the Comox Road Intersection...(Howard Johnson, and beer and wine store)
Make a right. Head up Comox Road (which becomes Bowen Road).-Stop at the Tim Hortons. Then keep going over the train tracks .
Make a left at Wakesiah. Drive along wakesiah until you pass the college, and continue driving along the Nanaimo Military Camp fenced boundary.
Make a right onto Nanaimo Lakes Road (4-way stop). After driving past the resevoir and RIGHT after the hydro lines Right of Way, There should be a turn off to the right into what seems like a residential road. (it may say nanaimo military range). Thats where the range is. If you are lost. the range is right beside the hydro lines rrw so. you know it'll be close by.

If you are on nanaimo lakes road and drive past the nanaimo fish and game club, you've gone too far. Or drive to the club and ask for remedial help.

What time are we suppose to be at the range?

The entry form says "0900 to 1700 hrs". I'm guessing 9:00am is first shot time? So 8am? 7am? when?

 

[DILLIGAF]

Got the rest of my parts from MDT... She's ready to take last place....

 

[Gunnerlove]

Good news, this match is still a go and it looks like I will be running things.

My plan is for first round down range at 0900 so 0800 at the range to get squaded and the targetry sorted.

 

[DILLIGAF]

anyone in Victoria want to carpool to save on gas ?
