Shooter can still shoot

[Springville Shooter]

Well, I've been out in California for the last week and went down to the gun club where I used to shoot 1000yds. Even though the weather didn't help with drizzling rain and winds gusting between 0-7mph, I managed to cram 5, 105 A-max bullets into just under 10inches with the 6br at 1000. Then we got a break in the wind and I managed a 3inch 5 shot at 600 that would have been a lot better without one flyer. So far I haven't found a club that is set up for this kind of shooting here in Utah, but I have been too busy anyway. Felt good to break the 2oz trigger again and enjoy some good times at the range. picture from behind shows the 600yd target as the large burm and the 1000 targets up the hill. Great stuff.-----shooter

Shooter have you looked at North Springs Shooting Range in Price Utah? I have only shot there once back in 2007 but it was nice. I beleive they had just finished it then. If I remember right they have a 1000 yard range.
Oh and if you ever make it out to North Carolina let me know cause if there is a match going on I can probably get you out on Hathcock range to get some shooting in. Anywho sound like you are still a great shot! Glad you had a good time.

Thanks Pete, I have been out to the range at Price now that you mention it, but it was a couple of years ago when I first moved out here and I don't think they had 1000yd facilities at that time. Have to check into that again though. Long range is a fun, but expensive game when shooting live stuff is not in season.-----shooter

The range down by Price (actually in Hiawatha) is great regardless of what you are wanting to shoot. In the summer they have a great 3-d archery set up as well.

I think I might be confused.... the range I went to was west of Helper up on the bluffs.....I thought that it was called the price gun club. Is there another range? where is Hiawatha?---shooter

Action is a Savage model 12 Right hand bolt/ left hand ejection port with bolt work done by cre'tan out of Colorado. Barrel is a 30in shilen with a 1-8" twist. Stock is a laminate by sharpshooter inletted and glassed. Trigger is a sharpshooter set to 2oz. Scope mounts and rings are Ken Farrel with a 20MOA base. Scope is a Nightforce 8-42 with a 50MM objective. Load is 6mmBR with 105 Hornaday A-Max bullets loaded in front of 30.3grns of varget powder for 2960 FPS. All the rich guys make fun of the Savage ......until they shoot against it. I highly recommend this action for serious varmint or target application. Ohh, and the heat shield is an old minblind with some velcro stick tabs.-------shooter
