It will be a large time, if we can get out of Wyoming?

Getting out to head south is looking like the big challenge unless this weather does a turn

Re: Trends in BPCR Long Range Shooting
I'm going to expand my horizon.
On my way to the Desert International at Ben Avery, I'm going to stop at Oak Ridge TN to shoot my first long range muzzleloader match.
See you at Phoenix, Kenny and Don!

Good luck at Oak Ridge
Google maps says it’s only 200 miles extra if I have to take the shortcut thru Dalhart and Tucemcari to get around the blizzards

Re: Trends in BPCR Long Range Shooting
Just a plain old Pedersoli 1865 Gibbs reproduction percussion rifle, 45 caliber. Kind of a bottom-of-the-line starter long range muzzle loader. I bought it used, and it turned out to have some issues which I have been working on rectifying. This will be the trial run at 1000 yards.
We'll see how it goes. Planning on going to the World Championship long range muzzle loader match in Hungary this fall.

Re: Trends in BPCR Long Range Shooting
Interesting. I have 1 of those rifles and have contemplated on going to the Oak Ridge match but the dates are always conflicting with other things. I’m well aware of the Hungary match. Keep me posted of your results with the Gibbs.Aviator wrote: ↑Mon Mar 06, 2023 7:16 pm Just a plain old Pedersoli 1865 Gibbs reproduction percussion rifle, 45 caliber.

Kenny and Don -
Sitting on the back patio drinking morning coffee about 30 miles south of the range. Supposed to be low 80s coming up for nearly a week - you will make it! Have faith in WYDOT - they will blaze a path through the snow for you.
Looking forward to seeing you guys down here and shooting the match.

Re: Trends in BPCR Long Range Shooting
Getting close to launch time, winter still has considerable grip on Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. We are hopeful to thread the needle Friday and head Down to Phoenix. With a Saturday night or Sunday morning arrival.
