I believe it was Corey who first asked about off season practice and I had been thinking about doing this for a while and figured it would be great practice, low cost, fun, and of course would require heckling on the part of everyone involved. Here's how it goes, and right after I describe how it will work don't reply or anything until you see my next post on this same subject so give me just a couple minutes. Here are the rules and they are on the honor system!
Every 2 weeks a new shot will be posted. This weeks is from the bench at 300 yards. I used a Harris bi-pod on the front and a sandbag at the rear. Now if you don't have a bi-pod, sandbags front and rear are fine for this 1st shot in the series. This will continue until hunting season comes in late September.
1. One cold bore shot (you can take as many rifles as you want, but one shot for score from each)
2. No getting your rifle all sighted in & shooting it a bunch before you take your shot on the target. This is for fun and for realistic practice. I last shot my 30-06 a couple weeks ago & it was last fall for my son's Ruger MKII 6mm & my Ruger #1B 6mm.
3. Any rifle is allowed as any practice is good practice, and any kind of sight or scope is allowed. This is for fun and we don't get to warm up before we take that shot at the nice bull elk in our crosshairs.
4. You can do this as many times as you want for each shot. This is the 1st shot, but if you want to do it again next week or tomorrow with the same rifle or with others, that is what this is all about. Just post your results in the correct shot number such as this one is 300 yards from the bench.
5. You can sing your buddies praises when they make a good one, but it's mandatory to heckle them if they do not! This is for practice and for fun and to motivate us to stay sharp on our shooting.
6. This isn't going to cost anyone here a ton of money and my experience with rifles and with bows shows that 10 good well thought out shots is many times more beneficial than 40 average shots.
7. In two weeks I'll put something else up, maybe a 200 yard shot laying down using my Blacks Creek pack as the rest! Most of this will be in 100 yard ranges from 100-300 as not all of us have longer ranges. I'll try to include some 25 & 50 yard stuff as well. If I cannot make it for the next shot, 2nd shot, I'll let you know and someone else can think of one. As this goes along as I stated, we can come back and do any or all of these again. Just remember, first shot out of a cold bore!
