Re: FUN SHOOT AT RAYS IN VA
Ray, did you get with the land owner in the mid range property?
I would like to try a mile with my EDGE if you did.
Might want to think about posting up about parking when you set up this event because I feel that there will be a few more folks at this one (depending on the weather / frozen precip.) because those of us that attended the first one had such a good time.

Re: FUN SHOOT AT RAYS IN VA
I haven't been on the Hide in a while to post much but I can't wait to come back up there to give you all some more leasons on long range shooting. I will have another 338 XTREME to smack that 2444yd with SOMEMORE after it gets back from a show in Germany. I hope this one shoots as good as the one I shot the 2444yd plate with last fall. I also shot a goat at 2222yds during deer season this year with that same 338 XTREME rifle/
I hope to have some ammo for everyone to try a shot or two with the 338 XTREME thanks to Bob at XTREME MACHINING. I should have a couple Barrett 50's and a AR50 if someone has some ammo laying around bring it and you can shoot it up if its good ammo. I don't mind to let you use my rifles.
We will have some steel set at around 1 mile for you 338 LAPUA shooters by the next match if the weather will let up a little. I hope to help Ray set some more steel on the property if it ever warms up a little. May get to set some out this weekend.
Bring lots of ammo and a smile on you face and we will see ya at the next shoot.

Re: FUN SHOOT AT RAYS IN VA
Hey Clark, do they have a "Goat" season that coincides with the Deer season over there in "West By God"?
How many points did it have?
I'm glad that y'all got permission to set out steel on the property in the middle.
Now I can play at a measley little old mile with my 338.
Now all we need to do is get the weather to co-operate OR get a Dealer that would like to demo a couple of those ARGO's and bring them over to Ray's so that we can shuttle up the hill and back.
Might need to clear off more space up top for more prone shooting since you're gunna bring all that artillery.

I am guessing that he wears his knee high rubber boots during that season.
Used properly, they keep the target from running off/away (that's what I read in outdoor life).

Re: FUN SHOOT AT RAYS IN VA
Hey Mike, there are "No Spots".
Just show up.
Shoot targets, bullshit with other like minded folks, get a bite to eat. Head up the hill and shoot a LONG WAYS OFF. BS some more. Head down the hill. Load up your stuff and head home.
They way this one's headed, the only thing I see having a kink in it is the parking arrangement but Ray will smooth all that out beforehand.
Ray & Clark and their Wives really made the last one a good one and it can only get better.
Hope to see you and "little man" there.
Just be sure to bring all of your COOL TOYS.
