Long range precision shoot in Sask.

Most people use their rifle scope, that's plenty to see the red marker. A shooting mat is nice, or any piece of tarp, old
Blanket or nothing at all will work too. I imagine a cheap sleeping bag pad would work, or a yoga mat if you're into that. It's good to get something under your bipod feet, because otherwise they dig into the gravel every shot and you have to reposition the rifle everytime. The floor mat out of your truck works pretty good. A clipboard is handy, since there are scorecards to deal with, and plotting sheets if you want.

I'm quoting this as its good info.

Basically, if you think you might need or want something there, bring it. If for whatever reason you don't need it or can't use it, it just stays in your vehicle.
 
Can I bring a highly trained midget to shoot in my place? If i don't need him I can leave him in truck with the windows down a bit.

Might be the only way I hit something! :redface:

The targets are huge; you'll hit them somewhere.:) Then chase the spotter around for the next ten.

It's mean to leave your (or any other) midget locked up. Besides; they can use the help in the target pits.
 
Question, The pros that shoot this 800-1000 what are they usually scoring for a match like this? 4-5 points each round?

Looks like the weather is going to be nice so far... 22 with no rain that I can see yet...

Loaded up 73 rounds the other day. Still want to shoot a few more to get an idea for those ranges.

I loaded over 100 lol. I'd like to shoot the short range as well though.
 
One of these days I'm going to throw my inhibitions away and show up at one of these events with my hunting rifle. I'd like to find somewhere closer to home to try 500-600m before jumping out to 1000 with my .300
 
6x45 is a 6mm in a 223 case right?

Ive never shot beside someone that shot a boomer with a muzzle brake on before. Will ear plugs be sufficient?

I think Im almost more excited to shoot my 223 during the day then the big boomer shoot later on.
 
Better use muffs. Muffs and plugs together are better. Even then you will feel a shockwave go through your body. 90 some grains of powder run through a loudener is going to make its presence known.��

My guess is that after the first 800, there will likely be some shooters who will want to move onto the grass beside the mound. lol I shot a drillers match beside one guy using a 338LM bullpup bolt rifle. It was distracting to say the least.
