Tiff Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 What is the max range we are shooting out to on the day? And what shale our rifles be zeroed for? Cheers Aaron The course of fire is still be finalised, but certainly nothing beyond 700 yards (probably 640), with the vast majority of other targets from 40 to 500 yards. Zero distance is entirely your call - 100m/y works for most. There will naturally be a fair bit of positional shooting, as well as some movement and knowing your drops (or having them easily to hand on printed laminated cards etc.) will really help - especially on the paper stages! Apart from one (maybe two) target recognition stages, all targets will be at known distances. Equally a full section of targets will be displayed during the morning briefing, so everyone is clear on what they are shooting at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6.5Grendel Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 one thing I forgot to ask.............. Are moderators mandatory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiff Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Sound moderators make it a bit more comfortable/sociable on and around the point, so are preferred, but not mandatory & muzzle bakes are allowed… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangbangman Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Are 5 rnd mags OK or do I need something with 10rnds? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiff Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Are 5 rnd mags OK or do I need something with 10rnds? Thanks. You could do it with a 5 rd mag (even possible single loading with practice), but a 10rd mag will make your life easier on a couple of timed and positional stages.

Swamp Donkey Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I've just bought two more, so now have 3x5 round mags. Just wondering if it's worth bringing the air rifle as back up as it's all a bit closer this time lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jungle_re Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Dog toffee, not happening for me bar being sacked or the ship sinking both of which I'm not going to pray for I'm sadly now out :-( Peeved but that's life, have to wait till he next one or practice day Tiff in the summer.

Hopefully see you guys at another shoot in the summer Cheers Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jungle_re Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Well hopefully see you at the next one fella, though I'm trying to move to,zummerset for may so not too far to come and have a butchers. TIff is the summer totally booked out no chance of a private practice day sometime in late my early June? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiff Posted March 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 TIff is the summer totally booked out no chance of a private practice day sometime in late May early June? Hey Will, sorry about the delay in replying, I've been at the roundhouse repairing the target areas after all this rain...cheaper, harder but definatley more scenic than the gym! Also sorry to hear you can't make it and to be honest your entry deposit has already gone out on the shoot lease / expenses for the year, but will happily offer you a free place at the next one. I'll try and organise a pratice day in June, but the place is currently fairly booked with none shoooting related groups staying up there (DofE etc.). A more general announcement is that PCal unfortunately now has service commitments and can no longer help run/rco this shoot.... Therefore entry for Saturday is now closed, but there are still a few places remaining for Sundays practice shoot. Saturdays COF and shoot infrastructure is evolving well and I'm please to announce the new multi-positional barricades are now nearly complete and more steels are being made this week. The weather has caused a few issues (namely the river overtopping its banks repeatedly for the past three months, making movement almost impossible), but it has dropped significantly in the last week to allow work to start again. Hopefully if the dry weather mostly continues, there should be several new short/mid range target areas in operation for this shoot, providing plenty of challenging stages to keep everyone on their toes...

jungle_re Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 No problem Tiff I look forward to getting down to he next one ship willing. A more general announcement is that PCal unfortunately now has service commitments and can no longer help run/rco this shoot.... Tiff Fantastic news I'm glad things worked out in the end please pass on my regards. Cheers Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCal Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Thank you Will, however the date for the next phase of my training has been changed so, I can now help TIff to run the shoot on Saturday. Therefore the original capacity of 32 people for the Saturday still stands therefore there are 8 places still available for the shoot on Saturday. We are finalising the COF at the moment and will be emailed to confirmed entrants within the next 2 weeks. All I can say is that I wish I was shooting it!

PCal Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Tiff and I are currently finalised the COF. It will be published this weekend and will be emailed to all confirmed entrants. Some recommendations: Bring lightweight shooting aids that would be practical to use in the field. i.e. Lightweight rear bags, shooting sticks, slings, light bipods such as Harris or Atlas. Do not bring big F-Class style front rests. Keep weight down to a minimum. You will have carry all the gear that you will need for shooting through out the day, covering up to 1.5 mile. Have paper copies of your drop charts with only the most relevant information. Ideally laminate a quick reference chart and attach to your rifle / scope. You won't have time to use ballistic apps on iPhones etc whilst on the firing point. Bring at least 2 pens for noting down scores, a copy of the COF and bringing a notepad is advisable. And finally don't forget to bring a good sense of humour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanF Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Ooops - forgot to express interest in the Sunday practice session - also likely to be able to bring a couple extra shooters along. Are there still places? Not available for the Saturday . Rgds Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shooter79 Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Just preparing some groups for the gathering at the end of the month. 10 thou of the lands seems to work well with 44.1 grains of Ramshot Tac. Group size just over half inch (0.580) at 100 yards. Black circle is 1.5cm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
