They are having a 1000yd qualifier at Tac Pro shooting range in Mingus this Sunday. Must be with a member and only cost 25.00 to shoot. Myself and two other buddies are going so if anyone is intersted it would be cool to meet some other THF members out there. I know its fathers day but the shoot will be from 10:00-12:00 so you will still have plenty of time to be with the family later that evening .

here is my rig im taking

Sounds like fun Kobeer, what are the specs on your rig?

its a Savage 10 FCP .308 24" barrel with 1:10 twist with a vortex 6.5-20x44 30mm tube with EGW 20moa base shooting 168gr Hornady super performance A-MAX Match 2850fps

How do you like that scope? Thats the same one i have on my rock river AR
I Love it!

It's the target dot reticle,and I love the fact that it has enough moa to take it out to a 1000yds with out the 20moa base

I've never shot at a range than 100y or taken game at more than 150y. I doubt I could hit anything at 1000y, but it would be fun to try.

You shoot off a bench not prone right (man I hate shooting prone).

You can shoot either

Can you still qualify if you don't have a clue on 1000y dope?

It's going to be a show all tell all type qualifier. If you give me the specs on what round you are shooting I can get you a dope chart. I don't know the dope on mine unless I take my cards with me.

Print off the chart laminate and tape it to the stock. That way you always have the dope for that rifle with it.

Kobeer, are you a member out there??

Basically, how many guest's can you bring??

I have been wanting to try 1K for a while now.

Approximately how many rounds would someone need to bring (50 or so)?

Better get something heavier than 168 grain bullets to keep them supersonic at 1000 yards. Suggest 175 or 178

The 168gr Hornady super performance are about 200 fps faster than the federal Gold metal match and seem to be a good round for a 1000yds but I do have some 175 gr that I can use as well

I'm going with 2 of my buddies who are members so if you wanna go you can be one of there guests.

Unless the wind is bad, I will plan on going.

About how much is a membership and what are the rules to be 1000 yard qualified?

Membership is 150.00 and you must be a member or with a member to qualify at 1000yds

How big is the target you are shooting

The 168s may be faster outta the gate but they won't hold velocity beyond the 1/2 mile mark. Go with the 175 FGGM if you're not running hand loads. The drop will be between 9.5 and 11.0 MILs. Depending on DA. Lately its been up around 2000 to 2800 so you should be closer to the10 MIL range.

To qualify all you have to be able to do is hit a 4x4 gong

They will stay super sonic long enough

Alright then. I've seen lots of people get very frustrated with 168s at the 1000 line. Due to poor BC which equates to low velocity and suceptibility in the wind.

Just trying to help.

As in 4 foot x 4 foot (48" x 48") gong

Good way to spend fathers....wish I could join the fun.....post up some results when you guys get back for those of us that cant make it.
