baldie Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 There was plenty of prone in the mud on century though ! No mats are used in CSR......its for mesters..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Looks like MASSIVE fun... no wonder I couldn't find you on Century!!! What is that you are shooting? Not much brass pickup by the looks of it..... must find out when the next one is and have a 'scavenge'!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Thats a .223 AR Dave. No, not much picking up due to the mud. My cases were on their last legs anyway, so they went in the bin. Most use milsurp for the CQB and short range stuff, as its accurate enough. I reload 77 grain SMK,s and shoot them at everything. Works for me. I won the practical class this match. Practical/csr is immense fun, and i have always thought, it was "proper" shooting. There is a huge amount of skill involved. No rests, physical exertion, very fast, snap shooting etc. Having been a gallery rifle shot for some time helps enormously, as you are used to freehand shooting. One of the COF,s was designed to simulate the drill for pistol shooting at body armour...ie 2 rounds in the chest scoring area, then one in the face. Try that in 5 seconds to include reloading !

Davy Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 That was Siberia! What have they done to the place, I know it has been a few weeks since I last went but it was mostly nice grass last time... looks like great fun BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybrock Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 That does look good fun, but a little too much running for my liking! In days gone bye would that have been a semi auto rifle you would have been using for that discipline Dave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John MH Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Yes, but surprisingly straight pulls can generally keep up with the semi's and whilst match timings are sometimes adjusted for manually operated rifles they don't always need to be.

brown dog Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mO238u1YanI Just watched that - I'm stunned at how fast that is despite not being semi-auto! The reload stroke looks like something on a 22 biathlon rifle - wow. Is that rifle typical? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John MH Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Yes, with practice and a good position and hold they can be shot as fast and accurately and a semi can be shot fast and 'Accurately'. They obviously will never be as fast as a semi but from what I hav seen can shoot just as, if not more, accurately than a semi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Dave, Looks like a good day out, BTW was that Bisley or have you all borrowed the set off War Horse? T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted January 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 You should have seen it a couple of days before Terry. The nra have installed a bank of turning targets, smack in the middle of the entire butt. Rumour has it , thats its for police use mainly, but obviously will get used by us. Short siberia is a swamp at the best of times, and new drainage was put in on the shotgun range last year. I hope they have put some more in whilst this lot was on. They scraped a foot of mud off the firing points, and gravelled the hard earth underneath. It will be fine come the spring i reckon, and a great addition to a fine range. Now they need to understand that people like to sleep in rat free, mouse that which promotes growth and vigour free, undraughty, non boer war type accomodation. Then we will be making real progress.

JonC Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 That looks like good fun, will have to go along for a look at some point. Very impressed with rate of fire, and Ive shot a few straight pull rifles in the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradders Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 The 4 gun is gonna be a blinder Mark. You stopping over in the Canada ? I'm staying at St George's, but will be partaking in all the festivities. Didn't know you were coming, good lad. Andy Brock, your comment about too much running is rather sad, if 3x25yd is a bit too much running, then there/ no hope for any of us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6.5shooter Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 What sort of scope is on youre AR Dave? Regards Garry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Its a bushnell 6500 tactical Garry. 2.8 -16 x 42, cracking scope . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6.5shooter Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 How does it track Dave? Does it have paralax adjustment? Im after a scope for my .22lr. Dont laugh! A few members of our club want to try making our own comp for shooting out to a couple of hundres metres or further if its a success and I need a reliable scope that tracks well without going mad on price!

baldie Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 It tracks 100%. I have one on my gallery rifle i use for TP1 and multi target That has been dialled up and down, thousands of times, and never missed a beat. The one on the AR is just the same...faultless Side parallax corrector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
