RESULTS (80 entries) Rayners August 2012 LR Match

[Topstrap]

Time again for another Rayners 1000 yard steel plate match. Dates are Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th. Signup starts at 9:00AM. Usually 60 to 70 shooters will shoot over two days with targets from 234 yards out to 1000 yards of various sizes and values. Three classes, rifles with optics, rifles with metallic sights and Handguns.

Short clip on Youtube showing the targets we shoot at. A couple have been changed since this video was made and some stations have smaller higher valued targets along with the normal ones you see on the video. Shooters call the target and are scored accordingly.

Benches at each location and also room to shoot prone. Cost is $20.00 with 36 rounds needed for the match. The match only takes one day to shoot but is offered on both days to get more shooters thru. Nothing over 338Lapua allowed. They also got in another batch of their LR match T-shirts in various colors and sizes.

Don't keep putting off trying out the long range steel, bring what ya got and you'll be surprised how much help will be available if needed. Spectators also welcome but remember to bring hearing protection.

will there be a chance to confirm dope before the match, at 600 and 1k?

Re: Rayners August 2012 Long Range Match

Not unless you get there thru the week before the match. You can go up on the hill at the 200 yard range and get your zero for 100, 200 or whatever but not on the match targets. If you know your velocity, bullet and other specifics a JBM printout will get you on all the targets.

A bunch of us are going down tomorrow (wednesday) to tweak and take some new shooters that have never been there before. We'll be there around 10AM if you wish to join us. You can call Tom and see if it'd be OK to go down before the match and get zeros for all the targets.

We need all the help we can get, these guns with the long barrels and things up against our shoulders are all new to us. We need the practice.

Re: Rayners August 2012 Long Range Match

Hello, we are thinking about coming down for the first time. Is there a list of target yardages so we can make up a dope sheet before we get there, or is it a UKD course?

We've been shooting at TVP for a few years now and thinking about trying something new.
Thanks

Re: Rayners August 2012 Long Range Match

Had a great turnout for the August Long Range match, EIGHTY (80) shooters came to challenge the long steel in what looked like perfect conditions. You'd see the windflag blowing one direction at the target but you'd need exactly the opposite correction for a hit and even then by the time you chambered another round it'd either drop to zero or change direction. Made for some interesting shots and lots of frustration, way more to reading wind and setting up your first shot than watching a distant flag.

Some great scores were shot including a 390 by Jim Elk, that 400 milestone is so close. Also had quite a few new shooters show up and the ones I got to chat with found it quite challenging. Tom's assortment of smaller high value targets at some stages are sometimes too much to resist which leads to a lot of ZERO scores after center punching a larger one beside it. Personally I had a great time as usual even with all my misses, another big THANKS to Tom, Carolyn and the crew for a great place to shoot, great food at lunch time and just being great folks to be around.

Re: Rayners August 2012 Long Range Match

Dennis,
I had a blast shooting with you guys again yesterday!
Thanks for posting the scores up so quick, and thanks again for the good info and assistance. I hope we can get a range day scheduled before too long.
