Thread: Would you come along to...

Sorry Neckshot, i have a date and a location. I don't have a list of things to have attendees do on the day, so i don't know how long it will take so i don't know how many people will be a good idea to have there.

November will prob rule me out mate but I fully support this Initiative.......is this how you spell this word? two tee's? help a brother out here.

I would be keen gillie hopefully I may have new a centerfire by then

I would be keen but need location and dates to be 100%, and yes if im travelling then wind hopefully will be covered a little bit. I think 10 people would be max unless you have a couple of 'instructors'

yep you spelled it right Neckshot

Well, I don't think I am a good enough shooter in the wind to confidently try and demonstrate it or to try and teach someone else about calling wind.

Sighting in is pretty simple for most people to sort out. Chronographing is useful but confirming the actual drop data at various distances is going to overrule whatever my cheap ass chronograph is going to tell someone. Generating drop data is easily done using something like JBM Ballistics online. Effective use of the recticle would be useful as it is something I do not see a lot of people do well. Ideally people would sort out their recticle before turning up and then we could just test and confirm what works with their set up.

This being the case I might just set up a medium range (100-600m), steel target, field course and allow attendees to have a go at the targets without any time pressure. I could allow shooters to fire a few shots at each target so they can use the day to validate drop data they turn up on the day with. I could supply some range cards for each stage that will allow the shooter to record their point of aim or their scope adjustments (along with other relevant data) so they can then take that information away with them.

Basically focus on the data validation side of things. Given the course layout it is extremely likely shooters will get to experience varying degrees of wind.
