PS.. You don't have to be a member of ORSA to shoot club, regional or state matches. Anyone can come shoot the NRA approved matches at ORSA.

However, you do have to be able to go through a time warp to reach August.

Your right.. sorry about that! Actual dates are 9/11 - 9/13 of our Lord 2009.

For anyone even remotely interested in long range target shooting, I can't recomment Oak Ridge enough. Larry and the crew put on a great match and the range is beautiful. I wish I could get out of work this weekend. This is going to be the second year in a row I have to miss the Championship match......

ORSA is a great range with good people!

How big of a target is used at 1000 yrds? One day I'd like to try my Garand at that distance.

[Guest FroggyOne2]

Gar, it is a 1 MOA target.. so the X ring is 10 inches. So it is purdy big.. come on and have a great time.. would love to see you again!

I think Froggy is so dedicated, he doesn't consider the rest of the target board for score!! Me, I'll take a 10 anyday

The target is 6'x6', with six rings that start as X and go to 7. The entire board outside the 7 ring is worth 6 points. If I'm not mistaken, the aiming black is a 42" circle. Like Froggy said, the X ring is 10", the 10 ring is 20" and so on. For F class, the target scoring rings are half that size. A very challanging target.

Your Garand should make it supersonic with Match Grade ammo above 175gr. The lighter stuff will go subsonic and tumble around 850 yards.

I like to think .. aim small .. miss small.. I was practicing the other day.. shot 10 rounds.. shot a 99-6X .. with the palma gun.. which is what I will be shooting.

[Guest FroggyOne2]

This weekend should have great weather to boot with great shooting.. looking forward to it!
