Sorry to say, that I have not shot any BPCR competitions here in Missouri. I shoot at a private range that doesn't hold such events, and the private property I shoot on is out of the question. Let me suggest you check out the Shiloh Rifle Forum. Best of luck to you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leroy Luck Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Depending on what part of Missouri you are in there is a club in Kansas that shoots out to 500yds. It isn’t a BPCR club specifically, but they do a long range rifle shoot.

Shawnee Hills Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 The Illowa Irregulars typically have a shoot or two per year. Their range is located west of Milan IL. Not sure how far that would be for you but is an option. Club Calendar – Illowa Irregulars Cowboy Action Shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d also like to attend the January Iron Man shoot. Cullie, we hope you can make it. Check our website the day prior to make sure it's still a go - www.illowairregulars.com. While it's a near certainty to go off as planned, given the vagaries of the weather there's always a possibility it could be cancelled. it's not so much the cold than it would be due to ice that would preclude us from getting gack there. Again, unlikely, but . . . We'd announce a cancellation the day before. PK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cullie Halfcock Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Anyone find it alarming that I’m at 36 MOA for my 100 yard zero? Read a lot of posts about other folks “come ups” seems a lot of the 45/70 guys are in the 20’s on the staff for 100 yd. I realize the sight and rifle combo makes a lot of difference.

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 All depends on your front sight height. 36 ain't bad.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Callie, not sure if the drive is too far for you, but check these folks out. An awesome bunch that shoots long range every month. https://freestaterangers.com/rifle-range-information/ Also, the Butterfield Gulch Gang are having their annual match the first weekend of May. There’s a great long range match included. https://butterfieldgulch.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
