TCRC Precision Long Range .22LR Match (April 22, 2012)
- Thread starter kombayotch
- Start date
It was a good turnout again given the weather forecast. And once again, we get a drop. The wind was higher and gustier than the last match, which made things quite a bit more challenging, but that's what its all about...

Ooh this looks awesome! Plus I'm a member of TCRC so I know how to get there! I would have come this weekend but I had the small matter of being best man at my brother's wedding to attend to.
I've got a 10/22 with a BC heavy barrel, hogue stock, and a sightron SIIB MilDot scope. It's not the best grouper but it's alright, and banging the bigger 200 yd gong is dead easy. With Mildots I think I've got the up for 300 yd, but I haven't tried it yet.
Is anyone planning another practice range visit? Either way I hope I can make it for the october match!
EDIT: Quick question, can I bring a non-PAL guest who would also use my rifle? I'm guessing there are more than one group of shooters who shoot the match, but I don't know about whether not having a PAL is a problem.

First off, you need to re-think your priorities...
kidding!
That would work fine. One of the shooters shot a stock 10/22 and did quite well with it.
Yes, you can bring a guest and let them use your rifle. Normally there is a fee for guest, but at a match they just need to pay their match fee.

Thanks again for another great match Kombayotch.
Still cant beleave how well Curtis (12 years old) did with a stock Ruger 10/22.
Hey Mango I will be out with my kids practicing on Sat am.

I think I'll give it a try. What's the course of fire and costs. I thinks I saw $25 is that correct. Is pre registration required or just show up.
Are the pictures further back in the post on Sept 15th the range where this is at. Looks like a nice place.
Cheers
This is a vid of me playing last summer at 400 yards with the 22. Thought some might be interested.

My brother and I got out to TCRC today to practice for the Oct 24 match!
A view of the range.
The yellow bristol boards are the same size, they just look smaller on the bigger target backing at 300 yd.
Prone practice.
We shot at 100, 200, and 300 yds. I'm hooked! Precision shooting with a 22 is a really fun challenge, and not stressful like centerfire (noise, recoil, reloading, high cost, etc). I'm sure we won't be terribly competitive our first (or second or third) time out, but we are going to have a lot of fun at the match.
Like the original post mentions, a little assistance with come-ups would be appreciated the day of, because I could only narrow down the 300 yd come-up to within one MOA of clicks.

Slogging through the mud to post and retrieve targets was a highlight I've gotta say. Although the day was a nice one for shooting because the wind seemed pretty calm.
I can't wait for the next match; I hope there's another this year, but if not I'll be waiting for next spring. The next thing for me to work on is a careful test of the target ammo I own to see if anything shoots better than Dynapoints. And of course more prone shooting practice!

Those Dynapoints did quite well, I was very surprised by that. I believe that you can find something that gives you less vertical spread though.
I still need to compile the results. I've been swamped this week and have company coming for the weekend, so it probably won't be till next week.
Congratulations on winning the Custom Semi class agent mango. That's great for your first match.

The Dynapoints seemed to work so-so for me at 100 yd, but much better at 300 yd. In my mind there's three main things that affect score assuming a perfect shooting technique, mainly a) mechanical accuracy, b) SD of velocity, and c) wind, luck, and wind-reading skill. I think the mechanical accuracy is important at closer distances, which means the Dynapoints are only so-so in that category. The SD of velocity is of course more important at longer distances, but I wonder whether my vertical stringing wasn't instead due to some loss of concentration near the end of the match. Finally, I think I got lucky and fired my 300 yd shots (rather quickly, love a semi-auto for that) in a relatively windless window of time. Also, the semi-auto is nice because you don't lose your careful, concentrated hold of the rifle between shots (where a bolt action requires working of the bolt and thus partial loss of the careful hold).
Anyway, it'd be interesting to see how your boltgun does with Dynapoints. If nothing else, it'd make good inexpensive practice.
