Land Run Long Range pictures?

[Diamond Jake]

Does anyone have pics of the long range side match at Land Run?  I looked through pics from a few past matches and didn't see any.

 

I'm considering bringing my Sharps to this year's Land Run, but with all that's going on I may just stick with Cowboy.  But any pics of the facility of the silhouette range might help me decide.

Bring your Sharps.  The shooting line is slightly elevated, covered with good shooting benches.  The targets at 200-yds fall when hit and are reset remotely.  I don't remember the 300-yd targets.  If you skip the event, you will regret it.

It's a fantastic range!

Not a great pic, but they have these shooting station built in or you can choose to sit on a stool or prone.

 

[Diamond Jake]

Are cross sticks provided?

 

Can you show up to shoot your classes anytime between 9 and 2?  I signed up for a warmup match 10:30 t0 12:30, so I'd have to either skip the warmup or really hustle between the ranges.

 

At our monthly and state matches we only have a 200 yard range, but I'm getting pretty good at them.  I'll have to find a place to practice 300 meters.

Just getting into it so not sure what the setup is. Our local range is 200 yards or 400 with scopes. I need to get my new rifle setup and sighted in. This is all new to me.

No pics but you will be shooting Pigs at 300 meters. Bench or prone. The facility is excellent. Bank of 10 targets. You have to knock the pig over. They have a  pneumatic reset system. Pretty cool! Two smokeless & BP. You can shoot both. 
Lever action rifles shoot Rams at 200 meters. 
 

we had a practice session this miring at our range in George West Tx. Set targets at same distances 😃

So if I am going to shoot this I need to set my rifle up for around 330 yards. How many shots to hit the 10 pigs? I see it is timed for 10 minutes so wasn't sure if you only got 10 shots or you shot until the time was up.

You get 2 sighter shots and then 10 shots only. If you miss you skip that target and go on to next one

Thanks, So the swinger target are the two sighters you are talking about. Correct?

 

Got this off there web site. So it looks like I could shoot my lever 45-70 and my single shot 45-70 if I wanted.

Yes there are two different categories - single shot and lever action, both rifle caliber.

[Diamond Jake]

I got a clarification straight from the Oklahoma Territorial Marshals.  You can shoot both Smokeless and black powder classes with the same rifle, but you can't shoot Black Powder in the smokeless class.  That might seem obvious to you, but here in the Southeast we often allow Black Powder in the Smokeless classes, just like Black Powder is allowed in the non-Frontier Cartridge cowboy categories.

 

No big deal, you just have to work up two loads and know how to change the sight settings when switching from one to another.  I plan to get to the range in the next week or two and work on some loads.  Yee-Haw!
