two questions for you Laurence ...are tang sight/peep sights allowed in the Pistol Cal long range and...in the Buff rifle etc. long range you have numerous rifles listed , are they all shooting against each other or in separate class's (what I'm saying is do I bring a combination of all or just one for that class). I guess three questions, is wood fore-stock cut down considered "modified' (Lee Enfield) or does it have to be metal or trigger mods to disqualify.

 

[Garand]

Yes, tang sights can be used on Rifles in Pistol Caliber Long Range and yes, if you would like to shoot in all 5 different long range categories (for $20.00) you can. 5 categories, using the same targetry, winners in each category. All BAM (Bolt Action Military) Rifles are "As originally issued"(externally). Therefore the only Lee Enfield's using a shortened stock would be either the #5 Mk 1 Jungle carbine or an original EAL that was issued to the RCAF as a survival rifle. Bring lots of guns, with lead bullets! BAM matches are a regular side match at Winter Range that we are trying to make popular up here. Last match we had 11 competitors for long range, some shooting multiple categories.

PS: Yesterday we booked our hotel in Rocky Mountain House for the 24/25 June........................... now all I need is an application form!

 

[fingers284]

I will pass that on to the "trail boss" , I know she has been working on the "web site" forms lately. Looking forward to having a visit at your range & ours.

[fingers284]

Thanks. The trail boss did mention last night that it sounded like all 10 cowboy stages on Saturday and long range on sunday so now she is clear.

 

[Garand]

Years ago another match director did 7 stages on the Saturday and it dragged out for so long that people rushed to get to the evening meal. This will be the same format for the 30 Sept/01 Oct Match in the Hat, except that we will shoot Wild Bunch instead of Long Range.

And it was a very good match...everything was run on time and well organized...but I don't know if anybody mentioned it to you... your damn 300 yrd target was just toooo damn small...LOL

 

[Garand]

No it wasn't, it was the same size as the 100 & 200 yd targets!

Sounds like it would be fun to try.
