SASS sanctioned long range buffalo shoots
I see the Cowboy club is having these as a side match at the state championship... this seems more up my alley than the speed shooting... I tried looking both on the club's website, as well as the SASS website & found very little info actually...
so... some of you guys seem to have all the answers my Martini's are not legal, as they have no external hammer ??? both my Remington & Navy Arms rolling blocks are legal ( 32-40 in the Remington, 40-65 in the Navy ) ??? my Unertl scope ( currently mounted on my Remington ) is not legal because of the micrometer adjustments on the scope ??? would my Russian double rifle in 45-70 be legal ( though not a long range gun ) ( it has exposed hammers )??? are my Thompson Contenders legal ??? ( sans scopes & such... not the 375 Winchester, but the 45-70 ) if all of that is true, looks like my 40-65 is my only rifle, unless the Contender is legal ??? ( 40-65 wears globe sights ) any idea how far they call long range ??? anyone ever shot one & can offer some detail of the shoot you went to would be great

Hello Wheel Man,
Try this site www.BPCR.net they have a ton of info on reloading shooting etc. On the links page is a bunch of sites and if I remember there is a club in WI that shoots 800 900 1000 yard long range matches. I hope this helps. oilcan72 |

"Long range" is going to be dictated by the parameters of the range. 125 yards is probably all the room they have there. I've not shot them, but I've been to shoots that there were targets at 300+. YMMV.
