    Thunder Valley precision

    Tom is building new targets out to 2500 yds along with a new shooting pavilion. The new targets are not ready quite yet but the new pavilion is built. The other berms for open range have steel and orange clays. Hitting an orange clay at 1,000 yds or beyond is quite fun...

    Custom 22x47 rifle

    We're hoping for 1500 rounds for barrel life but time will tell. I only have 200 rounds through it so far. The max I shoot is five rounds before allowing the barrel to cool. And I keep the barrel very very clean. Extra barrels aren't a problem. ?

    Custom 22x47 rifle

    I recently took delivery of a wildcat cartridged rifle in 22x47. The brass started life as 6.5x47 Lapua and took considerable time to resize and turn the necks of 500 pieces. This gun shoots a .224 SMK 95gr bullet at around 3200fps. The correction at 1000 yds is 5.9 mils. This past week...

    Range Report 1st season of 1000yd Benchrest Comp

    I competed in ten 1000 yd BR matches this year at Thunder Valley Precision in Kimbolton, Ohio. I shot high score and tightest group on four different occasions. My tightest group was 6.667 inch group and my high score was 49. I used a stock RPR in 6.5 Creedmoor and my own handloads.

    No need to call anyone a bitch, we're all on the same side here. You're right about the excitement of hitting clays at 1000 yd and a mile.

    Range Report 1,000 yd BR match at Thunder Valley Precision

    Training Courses Precision Data Class Thunder Valley Precision

    I took my second Precision Data Class yesterday from Tom Sarver at Thunder Valley Precision in Ohio. We shot from 100 yards out to the mile target. Gathered a lot of data and the wind was a real challenge all day long. We shot from several different positions and dozens of targets. Tom is a...
