NRA Black Powder Long Range Target Match - September 2013, Central PA

[Nuclearcricket]

I am glad to here you had a decent turn out. It was most certainly a wonderful day for that kind of shoot. I am also glad to hear that Read is now very active. As far as I know ( and that ain't all that far) Read wasn't all that active for quite some time. Glad to hear that it is busy, it would be a shame to loose any range, and especially one where you can shoot to 1000 yds. If you keep this site informed of the upcoming dates I will do my best to keep an eye out for the announcement and at a minimum stop over and do a meet and greet.
At this point I don't know when I might have all I need to be able to compete but hopefully some day things will fall together. Right now I don't think that my 45-70 will crank out enough speed to meet the minimum but there is a 44-77 in the works and that should make the grade. Hopefully it will, with the right loads shoot well enough that I don't embarrass my self with misses and berm shots.
The only down side to Read being that busy is it would make it pretty hard to get over there on a weekend to do some practice and get sight settings. But where there is a will I am sure that there is a way to work around that little problem.
