Sabot Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Dang it...I really want to shoot my 308 this year, but I have ZERO range time with it! I will be slinging #6 shot this year. Don't trust the 7.5 stuff on stars after last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken hebert Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I took down the star with 7.5' late in the first day with the wind blowing so hard it was taking the birds from the flippers and carrying them back over the firing line. light mod. saw many shooters with cylinder not even phasing the plates...

Don't trust the 7.5 stuff on stars after last year. +1 on the stubborn star plates! Last weekend at the WHIDPA 3Gun match hosted at Cawthon saw very "sticky" star plates on Freq Q's shotgun extravaganza of death! My SLP with I/C shooting 7-1/2 3 dram loads took them off fine, but I would go no lower! It's gonna be great! Can't wait! Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle I didn't have any problems with the star either and I was shooting cheap wally world 7.5's. There were quite a few folks there that were having a HELL of a time knocking the star plates off...I'm not sure what they were using for ammo...but I know some had cylinder bore shot guns...

BigLucky Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I was using 8 shot with I/C and didn't even phase the plates on the star with my SLP. I hit the one plate 5 times and just kinda watched it flap before I gave up and showed clear.... I am going to be bringing a couple boxes of my FIOCCI Golden Pheasant 3" 4 shot if there is a star set up anything like that at the Larue match...

ken hebert Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 You gave up at the star on that stage?! WTH? There were 3 poppers with 3 birds/flippers, 3 slug gongs, 4 rifle paper, and 7 or 8 rifle flashers after that! Dude, WTH?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he was talking about the WHIDPA match that was held last weekend out at Cawthorn Cartridge Club, where the LaRue match will be this year. The shotgun stage ended with a Texas Star that had to be shot from low prone. I saw a lot of people have trouble with it, but all 5 dropped for me with 5 shots of 7.5.

Pretty sure that star is THE star for the LT3G...have you guys ever seen the crazy ass star with the no shoots spinning around behind it? called the "Oregon star" or the "Evil" Texas star...

If that's the case, it might be a little easier come May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgShooter Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Pretty sure that star is THE star for the LT3G... Don't know about that...it's the WHIPDA star, which is based out of Monaville around Hempstead. Greg will prolly have one of his own that's even harder...

I heard Fred talking about it...I guess it was just the setup...not the actual building of it...oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgShooter Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 By far, most of the steel was built by Fred for the Cawthon Range. However, the star is WHIPDA's and was bought. The stars are INCREDIBLY hard to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGDM Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 I did not have any issues with the MGM Star and I calibrated it with an 1100 using a full choke and 00 Buck. Hmmmm, what about slugs on the Star... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAMUJeep Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 http://www.vikingtactics.com/targets.html Those are some pretty cool targets...and the price isn't bad either...might have to get a few to play around with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskapopo Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Quick question again. What range can I expect slug targets to be at. Need to get a good Idea of where to zero my shotgun. I use a 50 yard zero on it now. What was the furthest slug shot last year? Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabot Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Last year I believe the longest was about 50 yards. May have been more like 35-40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskapopo Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Cool thanks. I have a bunch of reduced recoil Federal slugs that do fine to 50 yards but at 100 yards they do not group as well as Breneke. I only have a few Breneke slugs left. So you saved me some money.
