Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Icebreaker V

Shoot dates will be: April 24th, 25th.

$25 per shooter, to help defray the cost of paint, target damage, etc. We'll serve lunch on Friday, and breakfast on Saturday morning, plus the coffee pot will be on all day.

30 shooter limit, first come, first serve.

I'm planning on staging a friendly "Hunters Comp" on Friday afternoon. The format will include a little hiking, with timed stages where the hunter is repsonsible for finding, ranging, and hitting targets at various ranges, and angles. One stage will include Mil Ranging targets(no laser rangefinders). Another stage will be shot using the reticle only. Another stage will be setting up your spotter to read the range on the target, then setting up the shot and shooting. Two shots per target, first round hits will be two points, second round hits will be scored one point. Bring the rifle you hunt big game with. You'll need a pack, shooting sticks, or whatever you use for sitting shots, binoculars/rangefinder, spotter and tripod. There will be prone shots, and a few offhand shots as well. 40 rounds of ammo will get you through the course. There will be Range Officers to score each stage. There will also be a safty meeting before the event starts as well as before the informal practice shooting of the set and known range target shooting starts, like we've had the past four years.

PM me to secure a spot. I'm away from the computer quite a bit, but I will return all PM's asap.

Sounds pretty cool Pat. Same locale?

Correct.....maybe the weather will be perfect this year.....grin!

What do you mean? It's been perfect the last four years running!



Seriously though folks, this is probably the best use of $25 and 40 rounds you'll ever make!

Anyone who just wants to shoot the targets we've always shot can do that, and not do the hunter's comp.

We'll have two, maybe three wall tents there with wood stoves.

There will be some really nice prizes for the top finishers....

I'll most likely make it, but won't be shooting the comp...

Sounds like fun!

Nice work Pat....sounds like lots of fun.

Sounds like a blast. I am consulting my schedule now.... Have to make some changes....

Hope all is well up your way.

You'll learn a bunch and have a ball....

Been to all 4, won't miss the 5th !

here are a few more pics to share.

I want to try and make this.

Tag!

This looks like too much fun! Allowing non competitors to shoot targets is a great offer for those of us wanting to get into long range shooting/hunting. Don't know if I can make it but I'll try to swing it. Can a guy camp out at the range or is there an area close by to set up a tent?

There's an area close by where you can camp. I think there's an out house and a fire pit there. But usually there will be a few of the guys stay there in campers/tents...

Yes.

If I can make it this year, stop by the wall tent.
