    The week from hell

    Just finishing the week from hell. Long story I wont go into.

    I think a touch of tension release is very much needed.

    I think I will take the .223 out of storage and spend a time getting it sighted in.

    Then I think I will casually walk the gentle hills around my place.

    I'll commune with nature, admire the scenery and wonder at all the fauna.

    I think then i will KILL IT ALL.

    TENSION RELEASE

    Thumbs up Question for anyone

    Has any one of you ever organised a shooting competition?

    I'm thinking of talking to my local farmer and trying to arrange a long distance rifle shoot. Up to 1000 meters.

    He has already given me permission for myself an another mate to hunt his land and to shoot down the valley, 1500 meters.

    As you all may have guessed, I am into 19th century firearms.

    What I am thinking of is getting some of the cowboy and black powder shooters I know together and staging a Black Powder Cartridge Rifle shoot at distances from 300 meters to 1000 meters, with a single final shot at 1500 meters.

    I'm going to sites in the US that deal with this sport and get a few ideas.

    Probably only looking at 10-15 shooters.

    It would be fun as at the cowboy competitions we have a side match for these rifles but the longest we really get to shoot is about 380 meters.

    These rifles are capable of reaching out and giving MOA groups at 1000 yards. Thats 10 shots in a 10 inch circle at 1000 yards.


    As to the organisation of this event I am a completer novice. The only thing I have ever really organised before was a visit to the ballet by 30 Kiwis and Aussies in London one year.

    Any advice on organisation would be much appreciated. Not just shooting related.

    Have you read the last issue of NZ Guns? Harry Hoover has set a range up in Hamilton for 1000m shooting and it looks like fun!
    Quite a lot of steel is required though...

    A mate (who is into his rotten-egg powder guns) shoots with Antique Arms Assn. and they have swinging targets at various distances. I think this is the easiest way to proceed. A metal frame in the ground and hang a metal dick from 2 chains so it can swing freely when hit and also give a good sound that also confirms a hit.
    This makes scoring faster by not having to travel vast distances to patch out, etc...

    I've only run a brief rifle action match on a 100m range. Most shooters only want to turn up and shoot, but not assist with luggung heavy weights up and down the range...

    a bit of a giggle I know... but check this out

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1y5mLpxF_U&NR=1

    If the thing coming out the front is doing average pistol speed (whatever the hell that is...) what velocity is the ejected case doing? Fuckin' thing would be shooting passers by as well...

    Here's some of the ones I was looking at. Pretty cool.

    Cant get youtube at work. Pistol ammunition velocity is between 1000fps and 1500 fps, some are faster and some slower but in general it is within that range.

    Yeah, I think their animation was a bit on the optimistic side, considering where they had the projectile when the casing erupted forth - compare with the slo-mo of the semi-auto shotgun.

    All good. It was an animated semi-auto pistol shot... super slow mo showing the projectile, shock waves and case ejection. Problem is the projectile's only about 50mm out of the barrel when the case is (rapidly) leaving the chamber.

    The action on the slide was pretty aggressive, too - it came back with spring-shattering alacrity.
