I'm planning on making this one. Hope to shoot some of the longer stuff if possible.

During the last match back in march, my cousin ran my .223 sdm clone rifle with no problems. That day the furthest target in the match was 770yds, and he was making first round hits.
However if this months course of fire includes longer shots, the 223 wouldn't be my first choice. Spotting impacts on steel and misses becomes very tough.

It was fun! But I guess best friends don't get married every day. They're talking about making it quarterly since the turnout hasn't been great. Only 6 guys this time. Of course if you had come and brought your friends again it would have made 9-10. I'm gonna really push some more people to come out. I think we'll have an easier time getting folks out once they finish the range and get it flipped around.

Re: Long Range Rifle and Sniper matches in Blakely,GA
The roads are still flooded here and there for me to get out that way, so I decided to not go. I went to their site yesterday and it said they were keeping it to .308 caliber as a max till they shift it around. That also kinda shut me down. I'm gonna make this thing yet.

Re: Long Range Rifle and Sniper matches in Blakely,GA
Last weekend at the 1000 yard F/Class shoot Stan Ellis gave us some info on the upcoming shoot on the 15th. 800 yards, 20"x40" steel. I'm not sure about the caliber restriction on this shoot, call if you have a question thatneeds to be answered. I do know that the range has not been flipped yet, so it still may be .308 max.

I can't wait til they have the range flipped and start having the long range competitions again. I've got a .300wm I'm ready to stretch out and see how it does way out there.
