Shooters!

This coming Sunday, 31-Mar will be the bi-annual Safari Rifle (Big Bore!) shoot at Phoenix Rod & Gun Club! (Yeah, I heard there is some holiday that day too, can you think of a better way to celebrate it?)

I am planning a course of fire with five stages totalling 20 shots ranging from reduced-size plains game & cats to full-sized Elephant and charging cape buffalo! Most shots are less than 50 yds actual distance, but on the reduced target that emulates a longer distance. Except for the leopard blind, all shots will be taken standing, sticks are welcome for some stages. You can shoot the same gun for all stages or have fun shooting different guns! Of course the gun should be appropriate to the game you are pretending to shoot. Scoring is hit/wound/miss, and of course if you wound or use an underpowered gun you get extra penalty points for getting trampled or eaten! Winner gets a pith helmet! But if you won in the past you MUST wear your helmet to every future shoot! Everyone who has ever shot this says they had a great time!

We will start setting up and signing up before 8 and try to start shooting by 9AM. We should be done early afternoon.

PRGC is in south phoenix where 7th AVENUE meets south mountain. http://www.phoenixrodandgun.org/

We'll start on the smallbore range - shoot will be held on smallbore, practical and high power.

Hope you all can make it!

I will do some set up Saturday afternoon if anyone is there and wants to help.

Bill,
It was nice to meet you at the range. I wish I could have stayed to shoot the match, it looks like a blast. My son Matt was able to make it and hadva great time. Thank you for making us welcome.
