MISSOURI: NEW RANGE! 1100 Yards. Steel Tactical Match 7 & 14 June

[seanhagerty]

We are on the eve of this shoot! I am looking forward to seeing what you guys can bring.

Buzz has generously donated a 1987 Dime for the high scoring shooter of the day.

 

[5Rsniper]

I was so close to walking away with that 1987 Dime but I'm happy with second place. It was a great time and thanks for all of the hospitality!

Glad you could make it out. It was good seeing you again. I think Buzz never did pay out on that prize.

 

[shakezoola]

Hey, I forgot to pickup my winnings. Is someone going to drop that dime in the mail?

Thanks for putting on the match! Had a great time hanging out with everyone. I hope you do it again soon.

 

[29aholic]

Well how did it go? Any pics?

 

[Lofty]

Shakezoola came in and stole the show. Someone is gonna have to get this guy under control....damn ringer. Pro's shoot in the Precision Rifle Series sir....NOT LOCAL AMATEUR MATCHES!!!

On a serious note it was a fun match and some really great people showed up. Buzz and the guys run a fun, light hearted match and the owner and his wife were awesome and very welcoming.....especially those great tacos for lunch, thank you.

Anyone in the area needs to check this place out.....very nice facility......I look forward to the next one.

 

[shakezoola]

I wish I was good enough to call myself a Pro.

I usually get my ass kicked at the PRS matches, so I know my place. Just need to keep practicing.

Besides, if anyone there was considered pro, that would be Lofty.

 

[seanhagerty]

It was great meeting you all. I look forward to getting a chance to shoot with you in an upcoming match.

I second that! How many entered? What was the flavor (ie caliber, glass, etc) of the day? What was the winner's build? Details please!

Orange is my favorite color.

 

[shakezoola]

The orange is awesome. I have plenty of rifles in black and OD green. I saw the orange one in the shop and couldn't pass it up. I shot in a match earlier this year with Todd Reynolds (owner of Rock Solid Stocks) and he said that he has only made 3 this color and his son has one of them. So there is another orange one floating around out there.

 

[Lofty]

 

[shakezoola]

I can definitely see your point. I wouldn't want to get beat by an orange rifle either. Probably stings a bit more since I was driving it.

 

[CADDump]

Nice looking rifle and thank you for sharing! In the future I think I see a bet between you two where loser has to paint their rifle in pink or rainbow colors.

If you two clowns want to come back down, we can arrange a little head to head comp for you.

 

[5Rsniper]

It's not orange but here is what I took second place with. It is a LaRue OBR that I switched over to a 6.5 Creedmoor and the optic is a Schmidt & Bender with a Horus H37 reticle. The setup works well for multiple target engagement at varying ranges. I think it's a good competition setup, I just wish I could run it better.

Dont worry your pretty little head about it.......I am taking steps to even the playing field.














I am going to bend your barrel.

Hey, I just found a 1987 dime in my pocket!

We probably ought to put it to good use. If Brian hasn't changed his mind, we had discussed having another Public Match on Saturday, August 9th. I will talk to Brian and confirm the date and make a new posting early next month.

I am thinking that Hagerty and I can open a can of whoop-ass on shakezoola and Lofty without even breaking a sweat....are you guys up to the challenge? Considering Hagerty is a Navy guy, its kinda like having one hand tied behind my back.... but it ought to be a piece of cake against two city boys from KC.

Hope to see lots of you guys there.

Cheers,

Buzz


p.s. great shooting, jimmy, zach, jeff and others

 

[seanhagerty]

I need a new shooting partner.

 

[Lofty]

Sounds great Buzz but I don't know how well Jimmy will handle things if I can't throw the match for him.

Looks like I will be doing all the heavy lifting.

It seems as though you did ok last weekend.

 

[seanhagerty]

I talked to Justin yesterday. He was at the range and was kind enough to share his photo's of the shoot.

Here is a link https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ve8bn9tus3lqw9m/AAAvk4QkUYjO1tHecDy4ySr4a#/

There are some pretty cool pictures on here.

He was also shooting past 100yds for the first time last night. We had him smacking steel out to 600 yds with his 308. I think he is hooked.

Those are really cool pictures. Thanks for sharing. Now I'm really mad I didn't make that one.....

 

[29aholic]

Thanks for the link I am going to try for August

 

[5Rsniper]

The pictures are great! I now have a new screen saver.

Amazing pictures! Great (camera) shooting!

 

[killercactus]

Sean you ruined me for sure, all I could think about today at work was getting back out and shooting! Thanks for all the help.
Also thanks for posting those photos for me Sean. And glad everybody likes them.
I guess I should also say hey to snipers hide, being this is my first post.
Justin

 

[seanhagerty]

It was all my pleasure Justin. I was pretty impressed by your steel smacking abilities.

I wont be able to make it back out there until late next week, but I will let you know once I figure out a date.
