New .22 Rifle Game
jakub:
I'm wondering how often you can hit a taget out to 200-300yrds? Out of ten shots how many would hit? The reason I ask is I've read that when the bullet goes subsonic the shock throws it of course. I've tried some shots that far and had a difficult time hitting a door size object. I assumed the subsonic thing was true but maybe I had to many holes in the target from bullets that could hit that far. Also how big are the targets?

Well, once I had my sights adjusted I was able to hit the 300 yard target pretty much every shot. That's with a tang sight, shooting prone from cross sticks.
I forget how big the targets are though...I think the 300 was 3' x 3'. Wildgoose could tell us if he stops by.
Dark Helmet:
sooo, what time will this start and do we need to be Ikes Members?
bkoenig:
I'm not sure on the September match, I know we're still trying to work out some of the details. I won't be able to make that one since I'm going to attend the GI appleseed.

It will start around 12:30 or so after the gong match is over. You dont have to be Ikes members to join in. Cost will be ten bucks. Last time we ran into problems getting on target for some as they did not have sight settings for the 300 yd (24"x24") and with the heavy wind that day we could not see where they were hitting to make corrections. This next time around we will try and see if we can deal with this better. I plan on at least getting everyone on target before we start the shoot. If any one cant get on target for what ever reason the match fee will be refunded. Hopefully this can be dealt with. For those like myself once on target hitting is very doable if you can keep up with the wind and light.
