Good afternoon, and welcome to the Garand owners assembly, or, the future Garand owners group. The CMP will send it to your door via Fedex, I believe. Adult signature is required. When you get it, you should come to our monthly Garand/Vintage rifle matches. We shoot almost every month at the...
Good job!! You should come to the Southern Indiana Rifle & Pistol Club near Borden, IN. Membership is not required to participate in the matches. We shoot the Garand matches, the CMP Sniper Matches, and Carbine matches, as well as the NRA High Power Rifle matches. We have a High Power rifle...
Load 77 grain Sierras or Noslers and load to magazine length. 24 grains of IMR 4895 is capable of winning the match. Concentrate on your position and offhand. Everything else gets better with offhand practice. The guys at CIHPRS are fine folks. They will treat you well. You are also welcome to...
Long Range means a lot of different things to different people. I shoot 1000 yards with iron sights using my AR15 match rifle. There is an organized group that shoots real long distance at Camp Atterbury. The Southern Indiana Rifle & Pistol Club has an F-Class Clinic coming up that will deal...
My main ride is a 1992 Dodge D350 with 414,000 miles, and a 1985 Jeep CJ7 that I rebuilt from a clean spot in the floor in 1995. My newest ride is a 2006 Kia Sorento. What kind of average is that? DennyMac
Greetings. I want to let you nice folks know that the IN and KY State Championship HP Rifle matches are scheduled for this Saturday at the Southern Indiana Rifle & Pistol Club. The matches were rained out on 2 separate occasions, but this weekend looks to be good. For more information, please...
Good afternoon. If you have not yet had your FSB pinned, I can do something like that.
What I do is to tap the base from both sides and mill flats on the barrel. That allows you to 'tilt' the front sight to get your rear sight mechanically centered. I can do this while you wait. Take the front...
Greetings, and salutations. I thought that I would mention that the State High Power Rifle matches for Kentucky and Indiana are scheduled for Saturday September 17 at the Southern Indiana Rifle & Pistol Club. I am the match director for the event. Anyone wishing to participate should contact me...
It is a 6-shot, with 5 in the magazine and one in the chamber. The 'full length magazine tube' refers to the fact that the rifles are available with a shorter magazine tube. Best of luck, and have a great day DennyMac
Spotting Scope Stands
Good afternoon. If I may toot my own horn, I believe that I have one of the finest Spotting Scope Stands on the market. Lifetime warranty. Locally made and assembled. In use all over the world by professional and sanctioned shooters. Take a look and see for yourself. Super...
The last time that I traveled on an airline with rifles, they had to be in a lockable case. You had to declare them at the counter and show them to the agent. The case was then locked. The lock HAD to be a TSA lock. My case was reopened after it left my possession, and the rifles were...
You asked about central Indiana, but maybe a little drive will be worth the time. We at the Southern Indiana Rifle & Pistol Club have berms at 200, 300, and 500 yards. We also hold open to the public long range practice days. The next one is Sunday May 3. $5 per shooter. Range open from 8:00...
You are using the OAL gage correctly. What you are seeing is the overall length of a cartridge loaded WITH THAT PARTICULAR BULLET that touches the lands in YOUR rifle. The factory OAL listed at 2.800 is the length that will go in EVERYONE'S rifle magazine.
Try a Scenar bullet, and see how long...
New toy
Good morning. You are welcome to bring your new toy and try it out with us. We shoot squadded practice from the 500 yard line on Sundays scattered throughout the year. There are also morning and afternoon F-Class practices during the week. The Club is the Southern Indiana Rifle & Pistol...
Greetings. I, too, would like to have an optic sight mounted to my Springfield 1911A1. I have some hesitation about having holes drilled and tapped into the frame of the pistol. I am just funny that way. I am liking the mount on the gun in the above post. Could any of you fine folks suggest a...
Well, if you made the match at Atterbury on September 27, you were not the only one there with a gas gun.
I was on target 2, with a match prepped AR15, and IRON SIGHTS and a sling. I shot a 12 for the first string, 180 for the second string, and 187 for the last one. How did you do overall...
Good morning. Unless you are loading your own ammo, there is nothing available commercially that will shoot 1000 yards in a .270 and stay supersonic to 1000 yards. Even if you are loading your own, that is still a big step. Hunt closer to home, and shoot closer than 1000 yards. Irresponsible...
Camp Atterbury and the Central Indiana High Power Rifle Shooters hold a competition that they call 'the longest shot'. The range there has berms going out to 2000 yards. You should look them up. There is a 1000 yard match there this weekend. KY State and Indiana State Championship matches...
The best thing that you can do it to waste his time to the point that he will leave you alone. Talk to him, make an appointment to have him come out, and when he comes, leave him sitting in your office and go to lunch, or anywhere else.
I had a roofing company hound me, and I finally let them...
Energy increases with the square of the velocity. Simply put, a faster bullet hurts more than a slower bullet of the same weight. I can paint the inside of a 10 foot square room from 100 yards away using a V8 sized can of paint and a .22-250. Combine 55 grains of bullet with 3800 feet per...
