Long range (600 yard) shooting, 3 Feb 2013 Rashoop range, Brits
Hi all.
A couple of guys are going to Rashoop shooting range on 3 Feb 2013 for some long range fun.
If you always wanted to know if you and your rifle can hit anything at the range, now's your chance.
The range where we will shoot from is 600 yards. The old military range (Rashoop) is calibrated in yards. We can however move some of the target frames closer is you want.
The only targets I can offer on the range are three metal disks measuring about 30cm diameter. If you want to shoot some paper targets, then you are welcome to bring them along.
The Rashoop range is located just outside of Brits, and the GPs co-ords are as follows:
S25°31'57.28"
E027°46'20.01"
Please bring your own shade and refreshments (non alcoholic) as it can get rather hot on the range.
Range fees would be R50 per shooter.
I will most likely bring along all my long guns (except my .22lr's) for some action. I will also bring a spotting scope.
Hope to see you guys there.
Mic

Re: Long range (600 yard) shooting, 3 Feb 2013 Rashoop range, Brits
I think we should start reasonably early. I will try to be on the range @ about 8am. Rashoop can get extremely hot, so I would try to set up my gazebo by about 8am. Guys coming from Pretoria and Jhb, this is a bit early, so for the rest, let's try to be on the range at about 9am. Time is not a real problem.
As of 13/01/2013, looks like we are about six guys who is going to have a blast!

Are there target frames there to mount paper targets, or should I bring my own ?

Target frames ares available, but I do not have paper targets for that range.
We also have three swingers (30cm diameter metal disks)
Some old military metal plates are also available.
I will try to bring a bunch of A3 blank paper, so we can cover thewhole backside of the target frame with blank paper.

I think those thin cardboard sheets at CNA are A3. If so, I'll bring a few.
