Toolguy Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Trigger 2 pounds for Open and Metallic. Pride Fowler makes a good quality tombstone style red dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm iprod Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Call Riley Gilmore. He may have a shroud or two kicking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Not sure how important the Tombstone Reticle is anymore. With the big black dot in the center of the target I think a lot of people are just using a regular dot. A mover base from Toolguy takes care of the moving target leads, or you can dial in for the mover. I have a Caspian shroud on my gun. Not sure if they have them in stock.

Action Pistolero Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 The Gilmore shroud is the way to go. It looks like you are from Canada. If you know Russell Bryan, he may be able to help you out with the tombstone. He has a few of the old Holo sights with tombstone reticles. It's been about 15 years since they were made. The majority of us use a tube red dot and a Stick Shift mover base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmbeckwith Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I use a Gilmore shroud an Warren Moore (ToolGuy) mover base and a aimpoint with a 2 min. dot. My two guns are accurailed and I am pleased with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philproulx Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 thanks for all the info i'll start with a metallic gun first and build an open in a nearby future i have made some aggrement with my shooting federation up here to start action pistol they give me financial support and publicity my main concern is the mover there's no way with all the restriction we havein shooting imposed by our governement , that i can have the mover we cannot move past the line of fire .....i know that stupid but we are still allowed to shoot we gonna make the speed reload event 7.17 in the rule book instead i guess it's a challenging event too philippe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfieldshooter Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 How do you mean "you cannot move past the line of fire". You are not shooting on the move, the target is moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm iprod Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Are you sure? I have had some pretty iffy scores lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philproulx Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 no i mean we can shoot on the move but only lateral movement is allowed we cannot run downrange that why we cannot do the mover due to our brillant law maker/politician Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan550 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 You don't understand the course of fire on the NRA Mover. You fire from stationary points at 10,15, 20 and 25 yards. The shooter doesn't move out of the 3'X3' shooting boxes at those distances while firing. The target moves from right to left on the first pass and from left to right on the next. You fire 6 shots on each pass at the 10 & 15 yard lines for 12 shots at each distance. The fire 3 shots on each of 4 passes at the 20 & 25 yard lines. No reloading on the clock is needed. You start each pass in the "surrender" position, wrists at shoulder height. I stress again, the SHOOTER DOESN'T MOVE OUT OF THE BOX.

philproulx Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 our ranges are builded that there is only one place you can shoot ----the legal firing line we cannot back off or go foward so the thing with the boxes backing 10-15-20-25 yards i legally cannot do it if i do so my good governement with all it's wisdom will shut down my range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Pistolero Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 What is the distance between the firing line and the backstop? If there is 25 yards or more, there is a way. Install the 2 ends of the mover on rails that run perpendicular to the backstop. After the shooter has finished the runs at 10 yards, move the 2 ends 5 yards down range. Run the 15 yard line and move the ends 5 more yards. Shoot the 20 yard line and move it 5 more yards for the 25. Each rail would have to be 45ft long. It certainly wouldn't be the ideal way to do things but if there is a will there is a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have separate ranges for each distance of the Practical, Plates, and Barricade? (That would be a lot of ranges!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm iprod Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 For the mover, if you do not have a moving target system, use a stationary target and turn to the target from a point (put stick in ground) that is 30feet left and right of the stationary target. Mover the target and teh sticks back from the shooting line to simulate the required distances and timings. That way you remain at the same shooting point and the targets is retreating from you position as required for each course of fire. If you build a moving target system, the entire rail (my preferred method) and or string system will have to be mobile, to move away from your fixed firing point, that I can see being somewhat costly. I believe in Germany fort he World Shoot the firing points were fixed and the targets moved to the appropriate range as required. Kevin may be able to verify this.

Toolguy Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 In Germany the targets were a fixed distance and the shooters moved, just as we do here in the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
