evilroy Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 We will have a long range bolt action side match this year. Allowed Rifles per the rules: Must be an original caliber bolt action rifle issued by any country to its military forces through the end of WW ll. It must be "as issued" with original iron battle sights and no external modifications. Faithful reproductions are also allowed. Don't show up with anything which does not meet the rules. There will be no exceptions. For this match you can shoot fmj ammo. I am bringing targets which will withstand the hits. There will be a men's and women's category. We will pay 3 deep in both. First run for score. A smaller separate trophy will be given for the fastest time for any run even if you run it 100 times. We will have real trophies. Each run will cost $5 to help pay for them. We will have loaner rifles and ammo for shooters with no rifle. $10 per run with them to offset ammo cost. Targets will be 12x14 inch ovals set at 100, 125 and 150 yards. Each shooter will shoot two five round Nevada Sweep runs. Reload off the clock. Score will be the total time of both runs. Most hits wins with time being the tie breaker. You can shoot off sticks or off any table or bales on the stage. Gun starts with bolt open, magazine loaded. There could be small changes such as small adjustment on range but this is what we plan now. We need volunteers to help with the side matches and we are still looking for some more sponsors to offset cost. Sign up for the match. We want to overwhelm them with shooters.

evilroy Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 What Joe said. I talked to Zak last night and talked about giving us enough time so everyone can shoot all the side events. Discussed Sunday or only Monday and decided we need to have two days to be sure we have enough time. We have to get out of the way of the CAS set up by Tuesday afternoon but we have several options we are talking about. Looks like we will try to do the Long Range Rifle and pistol as well as the shotgun Wobble event Monday after the match stages and then do the Speed events Tuesday as that will give us some flexibility Tuesday as all we need are short bays and not much steel. Also the clean up after the Wobble Trap may take some time so Monday should give us time to do so. If you have not signed up for Winter Range might be good to do so. It is coming up fast. Also need any interested in the RO class. I will get with the instructor and decide on a date very soon. I need some help in running some of the side events so contact me if you are interested.

evilroy Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 It looks like the Long Range Rifle and Pistol will both be held on Monday after the Main match stages. So far I have Serenity and Legendary Lawman to run the event. I need some help for them to spot and record. I also need some help in the speed events on Tuesday. Goatneck Clem will be running the Wobble Trap event on Monday and I believe he may need some help as well. He can comment here about that.

evilroy Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Garrison Joe, Thanks for the offer to help. How about working the speed events on Tuesday? We will figure out which one later.

Kid Rich Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I probably wasn't detailed enough on type of ammo. These are milsurp 147g copper clad steel bullets. I think they are OK on some steel as long as its out there a ways but I wouldn't want to put dents or holes in targets. What will the distance(s) be at WRWB? kR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goody Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Reference Evil Roy's statement from the original post. "For this match you can shoot fmj ammo. I am bringing targets which will withstand the hits." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Rich Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I read what he wrote. However there is a difference between fmj ammo and the Russian milspec which is copper clad steel. I just want to make sure I will not damage the targets. kR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUSTY BODDAMS Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 KR, maybe ER or GOATNECK will chime in but I think if a magnet attracts they probably will not allow it. As evil Roy said fmjs are fine on his targets steel core I would think not so much. Dusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilroy Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 We shot Russian surplus ammo at them at 85 yards at EOT without damage. I will go out and check but I do believe they were steel core. I will check. These targets are Action armor plate set at 45 degrees. We will shoot them at 100, 125 and 150 yards. I would prefer they were not steel core but again I will check. The targets are pretty tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilroy Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 My Russian ammo did not hurt the angles Action Targets. The are armor plate and angles 45 degrees. I am pretty sure it is bi metal bullets. They are the only ammo I could find for the rifle in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garand Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Sign me up, I'll just use the same ammo I'm planning on using for the Bucky O'Neill match before the main practice match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilroy Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Ken Griner our gunsmith checked some of the ammo I had given him which we had used at EOT. It does attract a magnet so it is steel core. We had no problem with the ammo as far as the Action angled targets we used so they will be allowed. It is what I will be bring for loaner ammo for the loaner Nagant. I will try to get Sunshine to do an Email blast on what we are doing so it gets to all signs ups. Call me if you have a question. 970 903-8044. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
