Shiloh 44-77 Hartford

[Eric Johanen]

It's a fun steel match. Due to the range orientation Iron sight shooter's start around 11:30 or so. Scope users can give it a go earlier. Range faces east and the sun has to be well up to see the pesky critters thru the irons. 40 shot match 200 to 500 yards. 300 yard triangle and 500 yard diamond are really wicked. I've run the barrel sights well out to 400 yards on the larger targets. No success on the 500 yard bank yet and hoped to change that. I stick with the larger targets, and do not shoot for score. The small ones are just to tough to get a sight on as the target is the width of the front blade or a bit smaller and it's just too difficult to center with no windage adjustment. Kentucky windage is what you got to work with. I do like to see what the barrel sights are capable of at ranges beyond 200 yards. With confirmed zero's and practice I do think pretty good work can be done with those sights.
