Re: Forsyth Long Range Match
Is the Montana 1000 cancelled as well? Looks like similar weather and fire conditions.

Re: Forsyth Long Range Match
Not that I know of . just decided to cancel the local match to lesson the risk so the 1000 doesnt get cancelled. Probably not enough grass to burn anymoremike herth wrote: ↑Thu Jul 01, 2021 7:40 am Is the Montana 1000 cancelled as well? Looks like similar weather and fire conditions.

Re: Forsyth Long Range Match
Couldn't ask for a nicer day. Mike wanted me to make sure everyone knew we were shooting in 30-40 mph winds. but they never materialized.
Glad I could finally get to shoot a match again. Dave had the hot hand today. Wes brought his 40-70 BN and was all over the place so He's scratched that off his match list.
Dave was shooting GG bullets over BH 209 and I was shooting PP bullets over Swiss 1.5 so it really came down to the shooter today.

Re: Forsyth Long Range Match
First time using these bore pigs at a match.
I was pretty happy with the results.
Was pretty warm and sunny with little humidity.
Shot the 900 and 1000 back to back without stopping.
Barrel got pretty hot. But never missed a beat.
Used pure water and a dry patch behind the pig.

Don’t ever let that rifle go! All the variables are in sync.

Re: Forsyth Long Range Match
The day started out a cool 20 deg and ended up in the mid 60's. Perfect day for shooting a long range match !!!
All went well until the 1000 yd target. Being the gentlemen we are, our relay let the other relay shoot first, with the stipulation they leave us a clean target !! Then we laughed and laughed and laughed when they actually obliged us . The laughing didn't last much longer when we started to shoot, altho I'm pretty sure I would have heard a few snickers coming from that other group if I wasn't so deaf.
In the end, it was Gene Gamble's 3 hits on the 1000 yd target that earned him the win.
Fun was had by all and I'm sure we will be back for another lesson in humility in a month.
And if you think the 1000 yd target was bad, you shoulda seen the 1200 yd buffalo !!
