Jesse Tischauser Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Having never shot the RM3G before I am curious as to what type of targets are used for the long range rifle. I heard in the past that we will Be shooting out to 400, 500, and even 600. Just curious to know how hard I need to be training my scope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbmd Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Jesse....I didn't know you actually trained. I figure it was just great talent! Targets are usually 10" MGM Flashers out to 450 yards then they will use full size IPSC targets. I have seen smaller 12" tall micro poppers up to 100 yards. All I can say is you better start running now as they usually have some runs that cover some distance like 100 - 150 yards and I don't mean flat ground! Oh yea, don't forget it is at 6500ft above sea level. Another thing, the wind blows hard especially later in the afternoon so figure that too. Almost forgot, one year the 600 yard target was 400 feet above where you were shooting from. Welcome to the Rocky Mountains! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard in the past that we will Be shooting out to 400, 500, and even 600. Just curious to know how hard I need to be training my scope. Last year's long rifle shots were 525 and 600 yards on e-type steel targets. 10" metalman flash targets on most everything from 150 to 400 yards. They had slugs on steel at about 110 yards last year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 E-Type targets?!?! You mean Rocky Mountain 3 Gun recognizes the importance of the E Zone? I wish USPSA would add it to their cardboard too! Seriously though what's an E-Type target? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had slugs on steel at about 110 yards last year as well. Actually the real long range stage last year had R&R flash targets out to around 400 and an IPSC Metric size steel type (which I think MGM calls and E type) out at 600 yards with electronic flash attached. See you all out there in a few weeks. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggerJJ Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 We try to use 12inch on everything over 300, under 450. The really long ones are ipsc gongs, maybe an ABC if its not so long but longer than the 12s can handle. shotgun long stuff is 14x20, maybe a 12incher or few for the closer shots... Pistol long stuff is ABC, and closer is 10 inch. I set everything up with an iron sight eye, so everything is visible, to me using a scope is kinda cheating... can't guarantee shadows, and I have been known to put stuff in places that is in shadows all day... .jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiggerJJ Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) Trust me, if you are a iron shooter, white is the last color you want the long rifle targets to be. We use black targets backed with bright yellow backers. JJ Edited July 17, 2011 by RiggerJJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you shoot 2 on each, that's 200 rounds... this ain't your first rodeo, but if I were traveling I would bring 2x that (400) to any match. .jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Mr Lambert will be reciving around 400 rifle of various weights, over 300 pistol, and 50 slugs. Shotshells, another friend is going to bring me some. Maybe I'd better pack a few more rounds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex That's just plain rude hot... yeah it was, and still is. and the white plates at 225 just blended right in with the berm... fire in the general area and managed to hit 2 out of 3 (with irons) but could see the 500yd against the berm and nailed em all. go figure. edit: what i meant to add was the contrasting backers at RM3G are much appreciated.

bpowe Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 The 109 at the Texas Limited didn't seem all that bad... It hasn't rained in Breckenridge in months! It rained on Liberty Hill this morning before the match so the 103 temp was matched with at least 103 humidity! It was serious sukage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M ammo Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 If anyone needs a place to stay! I have a Cabin, it sleeps 10 we have, 4 or 5, and the more people the Less $$$ for all of us. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 It's not really that hot in Raton. Tops out in the 90s, and lows in the 50s at night. Much lower humidity too. I hate heat and Raton is not bad at all. It is actually passed the peak (usually in June) and on the way back down now. See you all there...

tgibson Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 E-Type targets?!?! You mean Rocky Mountain 3 Gun recognizes the importance of the E Zone? I wish USPSA would add it to their cardboard too! Seriously though what's an E-Type target? This is an E Type...MGM E Type But this is what I really think we were shooting at...

MGM IPSC Complete Adios, TG Travis is right on the money! You'll be seeing at least two of these MGM targets with the Flash Targets (Strobes) that MGM now sells. They're a nice, big, sturdy target for those time when distances...well, get distancy! See you soon! Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
