Summerland Long Range Fun Shoot - CANCELED, Sorry guys

[Curt]

I can also bring some clays and my chrono. Same rule applies as the other fella. The fella who shoots my chrono, buys my chrono, no discounts

Was gonna look for some more scuba tanks i can spray orange if u think will be a hit again. let me know.

Thanks but no thanks. we will have plenty of gongs to hammer and the tanks do leave a bit of shrapnel (or maybe it was from other stuff we were shooting).

Also concerned abour the round shape allowing for deflections. Let's just stick to flat gong, clays and stumps.

Everyone get your menu items chosen and to confirm you will be attending dinner. If you are bringing a guest(s), let me know so we can adjust the seating in the restaurant.

The weather is warming up, the snow is melting and the ground will dry up quickly. Should be nice and dry by the weekend.

Also, book whatever hotel/motel you need.

I'm fairly new and not sure how many rounds to bring.
How many are some of you guys taking with you???

 

[Max Owner]

Bring as much as possible. You don't have to shoot it all.

But you'll have it if you want it.

 

[Fixit]

i was going to load up a few tracer rounds if no one minds?

 

[Mystic Precision]

Please no tracers or anything flammable. Steel cored bullets no go either.

Thanks,

Jerry

 

[knockturnal]

water filled milk jugs or ballons???

 

[Mystic Precision]

Again, I am going to say no. The container breaks up nicely, but the bits and pieces of plastic get littered and left.

Steel gongs and clays are the only targets this year!

There is lots of foot and horse traffic in the area. The last thing I want is complaints that might limit our use due to garbage left on site.

I have updated the menu choices. Please review and let me know if there are errors or omissions. See post #39.

IF you have not made a choice, please do so ASAP.

If you would like to bring extra guests, just let me know.

For saturday ya

 

[Katana]

I've only got about 150 and have no more brass to load up

 

[moosehunter]

Got me down for steak? Anything under 12oz. I consider a sandwich.

 

[Mystic Precision]

Well, looks like the snow has finally melted and the area is drying up fast.

The dinner has been booked. Meal choices are listed on page 4 post #39

Arrival is 5:30pm on Saturday night at the Sumac Ridge Golf Course Restaurant. Head north on the highway like you are going to Kelowna. About 1.5km from the last light (end of the long flat), you will see signs for the Sumac ridge winery and golf course on your RHS.

Take the middle road once you turn off the highway.

You have gone too far if the highway bends to the left and heads downhill.

See you all next weekend and have a fantastic Easter.

So far still looking good.

gongs

So, i went into work yesterday and made 4 more 10" gongs as well as the mounting hardware for them. So, now all we need is some 2x4s to set them up with. I have a bunch at work but they are nailed together. We will see what kind of shape the original 6 will be in at the end of the shoot on sunday and people can stake claims to them if they would like. I made those other 4 for people to take home with them if they want. As well as some brackets for the frames too. Maybe give it to someone as a prize in a little mini shootoff or something. The brackets are made from 16ga Galvanized so you never have to worry about them rusting. Same with the aircraft cable on the gongs. The last picture is jsut a condensed version of one setup. i couldnt find a longer 2x4 at the house.

My Savage is in it's new stock, it shoots great! 400 rounds are loaded.

 

[moosehunter]

I did the math and figured out that with 20moa in the rings and 25moa in the base I should be 16" high at 100yds on bottom with 80moa elevation to play with. Tested this actual shooting and Im "0" at 100yds 7moa up from bottom. Go figure eh? Why'd I even bother with math class when I could have taken cooking where all the girls were.
Ive got 100rds loaded and from a 300WM that should about do me.
I for one sure do appreciate the work others are doing making these reactive targets because once my little car is loaded with shooting and camping gear theres no room left. Figure on getting to Summerland about 3ish Friday then bug Jerry to run me and my gear up to ground zero.

 

[thebigbully]

Getting ready for the road move. Packet brief will be issued Friday morning. Will marshal vehicles shortly after. No requirement for tac signs or halt points.

(getting pretty excited!!!)

Convoy will NOT be cruising at 70 KMH!!!

My only triple R's will be Really long pee breaks. Really big snacks and Rolling hard and fast to BC.
