JohnLTD Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 "Is there a place in our sport for rifle shots beyond 60 yards?" Yes there is. Is there a place for 600 yard rifle shots? Yes there is!. Striking a balance between close range, practical range, and long range is the key. Does shooting paper at 25 yards or closer make much sense for a rifle, I don't think so. But neither does pushing extreme distances in a action sport. So I would think the majority of rifle shooting should be between 75 and 400 yards. Short of that let the pistols and shotguns play and past that let the DM types play. All that said I love RM3G and wouldn't spend that much travel money to go anywhere that didn't have some LR!!!!

jrswanson1 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Matches could be held anywhere with pistol bays. Good rifle steel is expensive and consumable, pistol steel last very much longer. Pistol and PCC with the greatly reduced power and range presents less risk. Easy targets mean shorter time spent shooting, shorter stage times, more shooters through per hour, more participants can be accommodated in the match, better economically for the match. People already do this. It's called Cowboy Action Shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkycatcher Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Having just shot Fallen Brethern where the longest shot was 600 (and I hit it on the first shot, I placed way above my normal on that stage). I have to say that yes, 60+ yard targets should be the norm. I think a good rifle target starts at 150 and just moves out from there. I love running and gunning so I won't say close (contact to 20 yards) shouldn't exist, but to me that's the realm of the pistol and shotgun. Though shooting clays quickly at 25-50 yards is really really really entertaining. I think if you aren't pushing the rifle out past 300 yards at least once in a match you're doing a disservice to the platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HCH Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 The rifle is the most versatile gun we use, so why limit it to close shots? I like going from targets off the end of the barrel to 500 yards with a rifle in the same stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
