Long range 22 LR.......

Post by hightime »

We just tried this last fall and it was great fun. I have a gong range and the grandkids were hitting the gong at 250 yds. Just estimating, but I think I should fix up some sights for the fun of it. Same thing as my Sharps 45-110 but more for little shoulders.

Have any of you done much of this? The kids are really taken with the 1 1/2 mile warning on the box.

Well we used all the 22's, but the Springfield bolt from the thirties was the most fun.

I'm a member of two clubs that shoot a reduced BPCR silhouette course, chickens at 77 meters off hand, then pigs at 100 meters, turkeys at 150 meters, rams at 200 meters , all off cross-sticks or off the bench. Lots of fun especially in a little wind. The course was designed for the guys with the Sharps buffalo rifles with .22 rimfire inserts, but both my clubs just let you shoot what you bring. Here's a 200 meter ram: Image

Long range or short range, a tiny target is a skilled shot, at a tiny target. :D

Besides smaller size steel as others have noted, I often scatter Necco wafers on the berm; On a windy day even at 100 yards can be pretty challenging.
