@jcline is this a 300 meter range also?
Do you need 15' wind flags?

 

[KMcG]

Im hoping I got on the waiting list soon enough to make the cut. Lol
Dublin wil be fun!! I can’t wait to see 200+ flags all point in a different direction at the same time.

LOL..... be careful what you wish for. We have a range we shoot at up here that it's rare to ever get 2 flags pointed the same direction and the daisy wheels are all going at different speeds.WD

You will not need your 15ft flag poles. It’s pretty flat and level.

Also a couple of nice golf courses near by.

300 yards and standard height flags!

With some of us on suicide watch after the last match Jim decided to throw us a bone and shoot 300 yds. instead of meters.

Will that shy 28.084 yards make for some new barrel chambers?
First I guess some will will have to get up off the floor after being knocked over by a feather with this venue change. lol.

I wouldn’t exactly say that just yet Dave. You do know that this year we will be shooting new “Official Tack Driver” targets, right? Remember I am match director that likes to challenge his competitors. This will be one to remember for sure!

I'm looking forward to TD 7. MGGOA is 30 minutes from the house and I never knew the range was there. Does the range have plenty of dry camping spaces? I can definitely help out if they don't.

Do we have dates yet?

As a rookie shooter (have only shot club matches) here in middle Tennessee, I've adopted the "go big, or go home" mantra for next year as I plan to begin shooting the Memphis IBS matches and am in the TD VII field as well. Perhaps I'm a little nuts and this puts me in the "what the hell are you thinking" category, but I've gotta say that I'm pretty excited about all of this. Looking forward to meeting you all in Georgia!

Ain’t no big deal man. Everyone puts their pants on one leg at a time. You will be fine.

It's a fun time regardless of how you shoot! A great bunch of people

I frequently put my pants on both legs at once (confined space in the camper). I also shot very poorly this year. Maybe there is a correlation there.
My 308 for TD 7 was built specifically for 300M (don't ask why I didn't use it last year. It has something to do with contrariness and stubbornness. These are traits my wife claims I have. Maybe so) but should work at 300 yd.
As far as flags go, I feel I suffered from sensory overload. Too many flags overloaded my limited capacity available for computation. This another way of saying, I came, I saw, but I was still clueless. I'll confess to being totally baffled when a ribbon stood straight up in front of the target. I took it as a signal to fire. It wasn't. WH

I was more than humbled last year when I attended. My gear was top notch. I practiced heavily ahead of time. My gun was good enough to win and I still shit the bed. I shot about half my targets blind and that is not an exaggeration.

Bill, if your .308 was built for 300 meters I’d suggest you remove approximately .283cm from the barrel length to allow proper functioning at the shorter distance.
If you think you experienced sensory overload at TD6 wait until you see 300 yards of flags all set at the same height in front of 30 benches and all the flags are going in different directions!!
