groundhog shoot- irish valley (near shamokin)

[deth502]

here's the info i got:

sunday september 14th at 10:30 am. classes rimfire, cowboy, varmint, big game and military. rimfire and cowboy at 50 and 100 yards. the other classes at 100 and 200 yards. 5 shots at each distance. 7 minutes at short distance and 10 minutes at longest distance. you may enter up to 3 guns. adults are $7.00 1st gun $6.00 2nd and $5.00 3rd. youth 12-17 is $3.00 per gun. under 12 shoot free. adults-allowed to use a sling. youth a sling and front free standing rest. under 12 may use any rest.

not 100% up on this.

since there's a time limit, im guessing these are "simulated" groundhogs ??

hope to be there myself, especially since i wont be making the sniper shoot this mth.

Is this at the keystone fish and game range?

[deth502]

wow, yeah, guess i forgot to mention that.

my bad.

thought it was in there somewhere, guess not.

yup keystone fish and game club.

ok good, that's not too far for me, I would really love to get out there sometime for their sniper shoot.

how much ammo should I bring? 20, 50, 100, 200 round?

[deth502]

ALL i know about it was posted int he quote.

it says 2 distances, 5 shots at each distance, so id think it to be a 10 shot course. personally, id bring more anyway, jic

i called the number i found regarding that shoot through another forum i google searched. The individual that answered was able to answer most of my questions but he sounded either A. Drunk, B. Tired, or C. All of the above. Are you going to be participating in this shoot Deth502? I'm gonna be loading some of my more fancier rounds tonight for it.

[deth502]

wasnt going to, but i go too the sniper shoot every month, and i cant go this month due to being at the bloom fair, so i plan on using this as my "day out shoting" this month.

i dont plan on bringing anything "fancy" though. doubt ill do very well, but its more about getting out and testing myself for me than trying to win (but that IS a big plus!!)

fwiw, this is the offical web site for keystone, but there's not much info there either.

sounds good, i just loaded up some hornady A-max 168 grain .308's, gonna test shoot tommorrow. hopefully they group just as well as the hornady interlock 165 grain did.

are these events rain or shine? I don't wanna drive two hours to have it rained out.
