Long range competitions in Georgia

mr renwick · February 4, 2011, 05:55 PM

I am looking into some georgia longe range comps and wanted to see if there was anyone activily shooting them. I would like to run out to one to learn the ropes before I shoot one.

The only place I know of for sure is Ft Benning.

Do you or have you shot any of their matches

Jim Watson · February 4, 2011, 07:03 PM

I have shot F-class (alongside conventional prone and Palma shooters) there on several occasions. Not a lot, because it is a long drive for me and I have normally gone only for the two-day matches.

As Jim said, Fort Benning should do you. I have shot XTC matches there and the matches are run well. Its a pain getting on base, so go early, check out this website: Ft Benning

You could try Appleseed. They shoot at 25 yards BUT the targets are small to simulate 100-500 yards.

The appleseed classes just aren't the same to me. I found 600yd match i am going to try to make in the next month or two. I figure I will get the hang of how they run matches there then I will venture out to ft benning. I just picked up some .75" steel plates to use for my LR targets. I am going to run out to my buddies property to get a little bit more practice in before we hit the match.

We shoot long range at Ft Gordon as well once a month, but most of them get cancelled due to lack of interest. Bring some friends along and we may revive them. You can shoot irons or optics (we have F class targets).

I would like to but that is a bit further than i would like to drive often. Thats a 3.5hr drive for me. FT Benning is about 2hrs which is really about as far as i like to go. I may venture out one of these days though.

Riverbend Gun Club in Dawsonville, GA (www.rbgc.org) has across the course matches on the second saturday and 3x600 the next day.

Where in Georgia are you located?

2 hrs from Benning tells me you may be in middle Georgia.
