When ya'll reckon these here "shooter's" is gunna come in and knock us off of the fence row?...

Jay · 05-20-2003, 09:23 PM

I don't know, but I bet whoever it is won't be using a stock rifle with peep sights.

I think we ought to have a little friendly match using only rifles as
they came from the factory. I realize that includes the Anschutz, and Kimbers, and Coopers, but it would still be fun.

By the way, what's the plural of Anschutz

Jay

Smokin Guns · 05-20-2003, 09:40 PM

Im'a thinkin' it's Ahhnshit'z...

Jay · 05-20-2003, 09:45 PM

I came close to buying an Anschutz, but I got the M12 instead. I know what the M12's can do, but I would've been seriously upset if the Anschutz gave me problems.

So what do you think about the "factory" match?

05-21-2003, 08:36 AM

I got to get off my butt and go shoot.

pickenup · 05-21-2003, 10:16 AM

Me too.

Smokin Guns · 05-21-2003, 07:49 PM

Ya'll is'a skeered of my shootin' skills...Just call me "Deadeye"...

z537z · 05-21-2003, 08:30 PM

Not a terrible idea.

Only I've got the scope on there pretty well and I'd be hesitant to take it off.

But then what fun would it be to use those tangent leaves, eh?

I'll go for it next time I have the gun out. Maybe give the long range critters a little better chance

.

I think peep sight Jay will school me with my 3-dots, though.

Jay · 05-21-2003, 08:55 PM

I feel like whatever type of iron sights you're used to will work best. At my age, the peep sights allow me to shoot without my glasses. The pinhole effect works wonders.

Hey Z......iff you're still looking for a Redfield peep sight, try this.......it's for an M12, but you can see why I jumped on the M12 with the Palma sights.

I'd like to propose a "just for fun" iron sights match....honor system, post the best target out of three...one five-shot group per target.

z537z · 05-21-2003, 09:07 PM

Do I have the right idea that we're starting up another postal match?

I think I'll grab a box of Rem targets, click in the scope, do some groups, grab the best one and submit it.

Then I'll go ahead and do up the iron sight thing. I sure am looking forward to banging in that dovetail tangent leaf sight. With the spring under it. With a hammer. ARG!

I like my sight a lot, so I'll see what I can do with it.

Are we doin 50 yard targets or what with these iron sights Jay?

I can only get out weekends, and it looks like this one will be pretty crappy, but I'll do what I can.

Smokin Guns · 05-21-2003, 09:21 PM

I'll hang with ya'll...don't know about the "postal match"( chances a'me mailin' t-gets somewhere's is kind'a slim)...still prefer the web pic postin' thing myself...Z, re-scopin' the Marlin right now...Look out!...

...

Jay · 05-21-2003, 09:29 PM

I know nothing about postal matches, other than I've heard of them.

How's this......iron sights, peeps, or notch and post...

best of three targets....at 25 yds....and at 50 yards...five shot groups...post the pics here.

Prize will be getting to share the fun of shooting with each other, as well as bragging rights 'till a better target shows up.

somebody will have to tell me what diameter the bull is supposed to be for 25/50 yards.

Jay · 05-21-2003, 09:33 PM

I'll be in the chat room for around ten minutes. Lets see if we can set this thing up.

Smokin Guns · 05-21-2003, 09:36 PM

Yepper's ya got it down...It's all about havin' fun...and a'course havin' fun with the "storyteller's"...

Smokin Guns · 05-21-2003, 09:42 PM

It's a sad kind'a thing...but, I can't get into the "Chat" room...people's won't let me in there anymore...don't know why?...Well!...maybe I do!...

Jay · 05-21-2003, 09:48 PM

Ok, not a problem....what are the diameters of the bulls at 25/50 yards?

OOPS......just found the dimensions on the other thread.

Let me alone......I'm old

Smokin Guns · 05-21-2003, 10:02 PM

1"...

Jay · 05-21-2003, 11:42 PM

1" works for me.

It appears we're off and shooting...................

tuckerd1 · 05-22-2003, 08:05 AM

I would like to make a recommendation here on targets. Midway, USA has free downloads for rifle and pistol targets. Save them to your pc and print them out on 8 1/2x11 sheets and use them. Everyone then will be using the same targets.

Click on the links and save from Adobe Acrobat to your pc.

Rifle Target

Pistol Target

z537z · 05-22-2003, 02:53 PM

anybody else in?

Like I said it'll take me a while to get out, it's crappy weather and I got no time with work.

_z

Jay · 05-22-2003, 06:17 PM

Thanks tuckerd1, that's an outstanding idea. Guns....Z....pick which target you want to download and let me know. The brown truck came today, and I'm busy makin' sumpin purty.

z537z · 05-22-2003, 07:24 PM

We'll just use the rifle target for both 25 and 50 yds.

Dangit Jay send some of those guns my way! You've got too many for your own good!

Hopefully the weatherman is wrong and Memorial Day I can enjoy a day off shootin!

_z

Smokin Guns · 05-22-2003, 07:41 PM

I'm in...downloaded both and memorial day week-end might be a guud un!...Thanks Tuckerd1...Hey Ya'll...Let's roll!...

I could be convinced to do that, but I don't even GIVE guns to my wife. Ifn ya get my drift

I'll get the targets downloaded tonight, now that the new arrival is clean and content.

Whoops, I think that's the second time my wife asked me if I was listening to her.

see y'all.

z537z · 05-22-2003, 08:11 PM

But Jay, this isn't just a partner for life, it's Z's motorcycle, tuition and gun fund! I'm representing like the red cross over here.

I mean jeez get rid of a few guns, maybe you'd pay more attention to the wife and improve your marriage! I'm here to help, buddy!

Haha, keep those targets comin
