EZ3,

If you are talking about the full size Applseed silhouettes I have more than enough for the event. We will be doing it differently this year.  We will have a fixed target line and we will move between firing lines. Should work better and faster than last year.

See you soon.

Corvette

Sorry, I forgot to specify "steel" silhouettes (I have more than three of the paper ones).  Never crossed my mind that you wouldn't have it covered, Corvette!    ;)

I am currently working in Illinois.  I will not be able to get back to Ohio for the first KD event this year due to vacation and schedule conflicts with my supervisor.  I am bummed about it because I have been working on learning my rifle's characteristics at long ranges.

May I change my registration to the next event in November?  This would allow someone else to take my spot in June.

I broke six ribs in a motorcyle accident 2 weeks ago but I am on the mend and still plan to attend in June. I want that patch bad. I will be slinging up and dry firing no later than this weekend. I was close with a 37 last year , but we ran out of time.  :snipersmi
Unfortunately I am not healed enough to sling and get in position quickly (way too painful, still). I sent an email on the scheduling page about transfering to the november shoot. Have fun without me.
So I recieved a cancellation email for the June shoot but nothing about being registered for the November shoot. Does anyone Know what the status is?
   Am I registered for November?

Unforgiven1203,

I will make sure the transfer to Nov happens.

Corvette,
How many rounds (approximately) to bring?

I think we went thru about 220 rounds last year.

We are taking a different approach this year which I hope will give everybody more rounds down range. I would bring 500 rounds to be safe.  That should be plenty.

Though I am not able to attend this great event, I have several friends that are. If they are camping, what time should/could they arrive Friday?  I will also tell them to bring 500 rounds of ammo.

Corvette

Tell them it's ok to get there when ever it is convienient. Tell them to set up on top of the hill next to the trap house. That will be our focal point for campers.  Looking forward to the event. Not sure I will be as ready as I want but it will be a great event in any case.

Sounds great. 500 rounds is no problem. Really looking forward to it.

Question:

Will we be doing some work at 25 meters the first day to help establish a good zero?

I had some issues with the rifle that I was going to bring that I was not able to resolve. I moved the optic to another rifle but have not fully sighted it in yet.

Hello shooters,

The New Philly full distance event is almost here.  I will be emailing DonDs course of fire and KD information to everybody tonight. Print it out and bring it with you. I can't do the job presenting all this but we will all work to try and gain some knowledge from it.  If anybody has any last minute questions, let me know.

Would someone mind printing me up a spare? I will not have access to a printer.
thanks!

Corvette,

Is it the same material as last year?
We still have our copies.

Since I started the new job I don't have the kind of access I used to have to printers. They monitor almost everything here.

Is it possible someone can print an extra copy for me too?

I hate to ask but...

Wish I'd seen this earlier. I have my copy from last year, but won't be at work tomorrow. I could have printed. Sorry.
