Keep in mind that It's not always remington thunderbolt ammo. They get ammo in bulk and try to use it up as they get it. Some weeks we use better ammo than other weeks. Also, I compete with a CZ and a Ruger 10/22. My 10/22 likes the Rem. Thunderbolt better than my CZ.

Going over soon to check it out..

the weather looks good for this Friday. Hope to see some of you guys there.

They doing scopes ONLY or are open sights OK?

Can I BYOammo? or only what is supplied?

Scopes only. And, everyone shoots their ammo.

I had a lot of fun! great to meet some of you guys.

The hunt club is nice, the food is good, the other shooters are GREAT, and the club range is nice too!

Attached is my best target which is 4.5" across the outside ring.
This was not good enough, there were 3 better shots than this in this one round. Didja get that? That was my best shot, and there were 3 better shots than mine in just that one round! And Abby wasn't even there! But her Dad was, and he is a great shot too.

Now I know what I need to work on, and will hopefully do better next time!

A highly recommended outing!

Hope to see more VAGT members there this Friday. It's a blast!!!

Jack
I did not see your PM's till yesterday - not on here that much.
My friend Terry and myself hope to be their this Friday if he is feeling well. We will be viewing only this week just to check out the action ( never been to this type of shoot or have the right gun to be competitive ). Looking forward to it

Sounds good. See you there. If you decide to shoot, you can use one of my guns. I usually bring 2 or 3.

Hope to see some members out there this Friday !!! If anyone needs directions, PM me.

Very nice find. I hope to be there in a couple of weeks. From the looks of it I dont think I will be winning any prizes but I am sure I will love it. I think you guys said the kids were around 9 years old. Any younger children? My son is 7 and my daughter 5.

There is one guy that comes sometimes with some younger kids (5 - 7 years old). hope to see you there soon.

I've been getting my Marlin 60 ready. I sighted in the scope last week.

Nice. Is that a Boyds stock?

Well Boyd's probably made it for Marlin, but it came original on a gun from Marlin, not from Boyd's. But not this gun. This one came with the green laminate stock.

Actually I will probably not use this Marlin 60. I've recently put new scopes on my 795, and my 980S. The 980S is the one I shot last time I went to this shoot. I'll focus on that one.

Hey DC... hope to see you there this week.

As always, it's all about the scratch and time.

I had neither this week.

I have been preparing and am looking forward to it, just need to get my ducks in a row.

Any word from anyone who went this week? Let us live thru your experiences!

It was hot and humid last night but no rain. I think there were 9 or 10 shooters and we were finished by about 9:30pm. The club switched to match ammo which should be interesting over the next few events. I didn't win any rounds but still had a great time, just a super group of people.

Any chance in the future to maybe have another match(another $45 entty fee) where targets are 50+ yards (100-200yrds would be cool) away I seen the thread and thought a 22 shoot would be cool but then was turned off by the 20yard shooting distance

I don't think they have the distance/land for that. The targets are tiny, like 4" across. That's like shooting a regular target at 100 yds.

A scope with adjustable objective down to 15-20 yards is a damn good idea at this event.

I just became an Associate member there a few weeks ago. During last month’s meeting, there was talk about building a 50 and 100 yard range this fall.

I’ll tell you this regarding the current 22 yard matches there… it’s not as easy as it sounds. The bulls-eye is smaller than a pencil eraser (almost the same diameter as the .22 round). DCinDC will tell you, it’s pretty competitive there. We would like to see more people come try it out. Hope to see some of you there. The weather looks good for tonight.

If anyone wants more information or directions, feel free to give me a call… (540)295-0809

My 10-22T will shoot under 1/2" at 50 yards but I don't win very often at 22 yards, it's a HECK of a lot harder than one would assume...

The weather will be perfect this Friday. Let's see some members out there this week!!!
