Bailey, CO BCGC 2 Gun Match 09/15/19

[DenverGP]

Sure, right now I suspect I'll be the only one on the range on wednesday. Shoot me a PM if you decide to go up on wednesday or to the match itself on sunday.

Non-members need to sign up/pay for range access thru the online form (not for the match, just for private range use on weekdays). Cost was $25 for the day.

If you are planning to use google map to get in and out, make sure you download the maps for offline access, no network access once you get off 285.

Weather looks good for Sunday and we have a bunch of people signed up. Should be good times. . :-)

[ChickNorris]

I get why. . . but still a bit steep for a guest fee.

Thanks for the heads up.


As for the notion, I'm out.

I get why. . . but still a bit steep for a guest fee.

Yeah, I'm going to look into becoming a member, it's a bit of a drive for me, but it's my closest option if I want to shoot more than 100 yards.

Just need to figure out if I'll get there enough to make it worth the membership fee.

[DenverGP]

the match is only $10, no extra range fees, it's a good time.

[Hoser]

Having a good zero sure does help out.. :-)

That is an advanced technique.

[ChickNorris]

Well, I had already signed up when I first posted.


I can sort what I need down here. Probably.

If I change my mind I'll be sure to withdrawal on practiscore.

Last year I went into the match with a rifle that had an "approximate" 100 yard zero. Ended up hitting 9/10 600 yards, 10/10 at 500 yards and 8/10 in 5 ring + 2/10 in 4 ring at 300 yards. Hopefully I won't find it out it was just beginners luck this year.

A shooting mat for the 600 yard line is good to have, and a quick-release bipod is useful to get the bipod off once we get done with the prone portion.

There is a decent length sight-in period at 600 yards that'll let you get zeroed pretty good, and then just use some standard come-downs to know how far to adjust down for 500yds, then down to 300yds, and down to 200 yards.

A nice ballistic calculator that I found:

If you input the distance of your current zero, and tell it to chart every 100 yards out to 600 yards, you'll be able to see the approximate total adjustment to get from your current zero to a 600 yard zero. Then the sight-in period will get that zeroed out the rest of the way. And if you re-do the calculator with a 600 yard zero, and chart every 100 yards out to 500, you'll be able find how far to adjust down to get to 500, 300, 200. Those should be at least decent starting values.

Here are some "default" come ups/downs I was given. They are supposed to be enough to get you on paper at each distance.
100 to 200: 2 MOA
200 to 300: 3 MOA
300 to 500: 7 MOA
500 to 600: 4 MOA

Those are not too far off the values the calculator gave me

I'll probably pm a few folks about building a pack up & or what to not include above & beyond the list provided. Less anyone wants to volunteer the additional information here for everyone to see.

This will be my first match with this flavor & style unless it's something not dissimilar to the prs follies match that I shot last December @ Cheyenne Mountain.

[ChickNorris]

See about borrowing a bipod.

Im not so fancy as all that as my optic is what it is.

Expect I'll learn quite a lot & I'm looking forward to it.
