mortman Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Just curious. Looked at the stage diagrams, but no dimensions given. What was the range (shooter to target) of the farthest target? Sighting in new rifle and looking for a baseline. Thanks, M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boggus Deal Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Winter Range rifle targets were too few and too close. Sight in for 15 yards and you’ll be fine anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortman Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 That's disappointing. One of my criticisms of CAS: a rifle is a rifle and should be used as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUSTY BODDAMS Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Mortman, travel to Texas or Oklahoma where the rifle targets are a minimum of 25 yards and could be out to 50. Dusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood James Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 They are also smaller! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood James Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 It is my understanding that Serenity and Legendary Lawman have a request to use the frontiersman Rifle targets next year at WR. This will get them further out than this past year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Frank Norfleet Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I wasn't at Winter Range so I can't speak to those distances. It has been a frustration of mine that we shoot rifle targets at pistol distances. Move them out so it is no longer a game of how fast you can lever the rifle but can you hit the target!

VICIOUS Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Hi Gang. I keep my rifle sighted to 75 yards so as to shoot silhouettes to 100 yards. Far out, could work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildOkDee Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I can understand that, but who can see/hear hits or misses at farther than twenty five yards consistently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood James Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Your not shooting cowboy. The power factor solves a lot of problems. You will never see the requirement of rifle not last!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 With WB power loads, I can be essentially 100% sure of hits out to 50-60 yards, even edgers. The rings and target movement are a lot stronger with the extra power. MOST 100 yard hits I can see. Most folks will not hear the ring at 100 yards, though. I train sometimes shooting my .45 Colt rifle at 200 yard targets - man sized, and can hold it on those at least 75% of shots. Teaches you to wait until the bullet arrives before you decide the outcome. And that's with just 20-20 vision. Of course, that's not so common among SASS crowd, either. All this says, I would not be afraid of a match with 20" targets set at 50 yards. They could be scored pretty accurately. Good luck, GJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
