Wanted to drop in and introduce myself, I'm James and I've been invloved in shooting now for as long as my dad thought it was safe for me to have a firearm. I'm just getting invloved in pistols mainly Kimbers 1911 and I've been a member of the IBS (International Benchrest Shooters) where I use to shoot 600 and 1000 benchrest yard competitions.  If you wish to learn more you can Google 22 Dasher and then look for TN Tack Driver.

Welcome James. That is very impressive shooting. Say what you will about the equipment, but it is useless if it's not in the hands of a marksman that has the skills to make it perform. You obviously have those skills.

Well done, I'm sure you will be a good source of information for the members of TGO.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcomes.

 

 Dave we may know one another? Your screen name sounds very familiar. Thanks for the compliments as well. I've been out of the long range competition now for around 5 years. I got invloved in running matches in Oak Ridge and I did that for 2 yrs and then the IBS wanted to impose more rules and waivers for shooters to sign at each match that it just got to be too much. So I decided to take a break. I made a believer out of a lot of the 1000 yard BR guys shooting a 22 caliber bullet. That Dasher was pushing an 80 grain bullet over 3500 fps with ES of only 5 fps with a case full of H 4350. In some sense I renewed the Dasher line cartridge in the 600 yard game, as there are now many variants of this cartridge being used mainly in the 6mm range for 600 yard competition.

Klamb5: Bell Buckle has one of the best diners to eat at that I know of  within 200 miles of us.

 

Here's to wishing each of you and your families a Very Safe Holiday Season and Merry Christmas to you all.
