Worst case is I miss all my shots, look like a fool, and waste a bunch of ammo. It's still a day at the range.

true sounds like a ton of fun. i'm more worried about sending a bullet out of the range.... and i don't think my scope goes to 900 meters.

Just a heads up: The match is filling up pretty quick, but I will open up the 3 reserve slots (taking the total number to 15) for Brian, Thomas, and Robert, if necessary.
I found out via email that I have 4 actual PRS members expected to sign up, so there will be some seasoned shooters on the line to help out the newbies. Assuming this goes well, I hope to make this an annual thing, and as I gain experience with running formal matches, it will become bigger and better with more competitor slots in coming years.

Ok, I just signed up. Now I need to get some dope out to 900 meters...maybe if I can get a break from playing farmer this weekend.

Oh, this is going to be such a bad idea...
...all right, going to go register now.
Just remember---I don't know anything about long distances, and I've never even fired a rifle past a distance of 600 yards. Matter of fact, in my entire life, I've probably fired less than 200 rounds at targets farther than 300 yards.
This should be----amusing. To everyone else. [sigh]
I'm thinking that I need to get myself and my rifle(s) to the range, to see what I should be using, here. I'm a LOT more used to my .223, but I've got a Rem 700 in .308 that I could use, too---though I don't have any precision ammo for it. [sigh] I suppose I had better get some to test.

Uh-oh. People who actually know what they are doing?
You ARE going to have a prize for "worst shot," right? Just so I can get something for this? :)
JTH:
Any particular type of laser range finder that people really like for this kind of thing?
Thanks, you've given me an excuse to get one!
