There seems to be some shooters here, so I'll post this. Here's a chance to bust out your Deer Rifle and knock the dust off from it and have some fun at the same time. The Saving Private Ryan Scope Shot. A scope will be placed on the Turkey post at 385 meters (427 yards).
Where: Rio Salado Sportsmans Club, 3960 N. Usery Pass Rd. Mesa, Az 85207. This will be held at the High Power Range by the Clubhouse.
When: Sunday Feb 19th, 2012. After the High Power Silhouette match. Approx. noon.
Th Nitty Gritty: The cost is one dollar a shot. At the start you will give the director a dollar and then you will be given a ticket with a number on it, the other half of the ticket will be placed in a can and a drawing will be held to see who is shooting first, second, ect. then you will be called to the line and you will be given 1 minute to shoot. No shooting will be done from the bench position. Either standing, sitting, kneeling or prone. Which ever position you shoot from, no artificial rest will be allowed. If you are a shooter of known ability you will have to shoot offhand. Nobody will be allowed to shoot more than one shot at a time. Half of the pot will go to the shooter who wins and half will go to the Silhouette Division. The scope is a Bushnell Sportview with a 45mm objective. To win you must bust the glass with a bullet. In other words your bullet can hit the post knock the scope off from the post and bust the glass, that doesn't count, the bullet has to break the glass. Keep your Elephant rifles at home with your .50 cal rifles.
