50yrd Rimfire Benchrest Match, Interest?

[sgreen3]

Was kind of wanting to gauge to see if there would be any interest if I were to hold a 50yrd benchrest match. Might be kind of fun before it turns nasty weather. Would be shot from the bench at official 50yrd benchrest targets and scored accordingly and limited to 22lr rifles to kind of keep things on a somewhat even playing field. If there would be enough interest may try and set a date and go from there. If its something you think you'd be interested in post up a date that may work best for you (would have to be a Saturday) or send me a PM.

None at all?

What range would you be using ?

 

[Glock]

I would be interested and I have a friend that would be too.

It would be held at my private range. Here in Scottsburg.

Ok great, what would be a good Saturday date that would be good. I guess that would be the next thing would be to hash out a good date.

It may work for me, it will depend on if I'm at the weekend place and what my son has going on... Thanks

 

[sgreen3]

Sounds good. If I can gauge enough interest Ill try and get some dates thrown out there to see who may be able to attend.

I got another person interested for a total of 3 on my end. October 10th would work really well for me. Pretty much any weekend after that would work too.

Iron sights, or are scopes allowed?

Scopes will be allowed. (I know ill be using one )

Ok fellas looks like Id be able to hold this shoot on October 17th or the 24th. Let me know if this would work, so I can gauge how many would be attending.

 

[Glock]

17th is a no go for us but 24th would be open.

i havent shot for several years due to my health but depending on weather i might be interested. ihave a few questions, tho. 1. is electricity within 100 ft. of benches, i am on oxygen 24/7 and need to plug my oxygen concentrator in. 2. what targets do you have, i have some usbr and psl targets i could bring. 3. what style of rifle due you use, i have a bolt gun and a 10/22 that i shoot. 4. do you need extra benches, i have one i built on wheels that i shoot of of. 4, rests allowed? sorry so long and the 24th would work too.

You don't have a portable O2 tank? How do you ever leave the house?

I would LOVE to drag my kids out to this (and me shoot too), but we just can't catch a break these days when it comes to weekends.

 

[AA&E]

I am located a bit to the west of you, but I'd be interested in attending.

yes i do, but they generally only last 2-3 hrs and cost me $12 ea. for a long day of shooting it wouldnt be practical.

No bud Im sorry I don't have power out there, My range is out back in my woods so its back away from the house. We will be using official IBS 50yrd benchrest targets. Ill be using a heavy barrel Savage bolt action. I appreciate the offer, but the benches on the range are permanently attached and are the only ones that will be shot from due to the firing lane size.
