Big Bore Dangerous Game Rifle Shoot 31-Oct-10 Phoenix AZ
      #167977 - 18/09/10 03:47 PM

Big Bore Shooters!

Phoenix Rod & Gun Club (PRGC) in Phoenix, Arizona is running its first Big Bore Rifle Shoot for African Dangerous Game Style rifles!

So, if you’re the guy who bought that .458 Win Mag cuz it looked so cool, here’s your chance to shoot it!

Full details are at: http://arizona-rifleshooting.com/BIG-BORE-rifle-shoot-PRGC.html

We have a full sized elephant that fits in an NRA style High Power frame!


We have a full sized Charging Cape Buffalo (mounts on a cart!)


In addition to snap shooting at the elephant and the charging cape buffalo, we’ll have a timed course of fire with 5 firing points at reduced size Big-5 game targets as well as stationary shots at bullseye and animal targets. Expect 15 shots for record, plus an opportunity to use up the other 5 rounds in your box as practice or extra shots. Hit/Miss/Wound scoring. Any African style big bore rifle may be used, you define what you think an African Big bore caliber is.

The shoot will be Sunday 31-Oct-2010 starting around 9AM on the smallbore/practical range until early afternoon! Arrive early for set up, bring ear & eye protection & water!

Fee $20, (discount for PRGC members), Reduced rate for 2nd gun or refire. Limit 20 shooters, email Arizona@rifleshooting.org to pre-register or for questions.

More info: Rifleshooting.org or http://arizona-rifleshooting.com/BIG-BORE-rifle-shoot-PRGC.html

PRGC is a member run club at the end of 7th Avenue at South Mountain (915 W. Olney Dr.) in Phoenix, Arizona. http://www.phoenixrodandgun.org/

Big Bore Shooters!

The Big (Bore) Date is approaching!

31-Oct (there is some holiday that day isn't there?) is the African Dangerous Game Rifle shoot at
Phoenix Rod & Gun Club!

I painted up another elephant! (shoot the one with the tusks!) and the front half of an incredibly ugly full sized

Cape Buffalo. We'll also have a full sized charging cape buffalo and a bunch of small sized animal targets too!

So grab that .458 Win Mag, .375 H&H, .416 Rigby or what have you!

PM or email me so I know who's coming!

Poole

The Big 5 (reduced size) targets are ready!

we'll have 3 shots on a bullseye, 3 shots on a full sized standing Buff, from a rest or sticks

then a "run and gun" shoot on the big 5 targets against the clock!

then the charging Cape Buff

then the elephants

15 shots total

Score is hit or miss and if you miss a charging dangerous animal your client gets trampled or eaten.

Any rifle*, but if you don't meet power factor, your client gets trampled and eaten!

score will be hit points minus run time minus number of clients eaten or trampled. There will be a safari-themed prize!

SHOOT ON SUNDAY 30-OCT 2010!!!

see you all at PRGC!

It's the tuskless cow that will try to kill you.

That is a very cool shoot you have planned there Bill. I am sure it will be a lot of fun!

I like it!

The frontal elephant needs to flip around to full frontal at 10 yards distance, and the shooter only have 3 seconds max to shoot it!




I like the idea of how you have done the targets and it is food for thought.

we will mount the elephants in NRA-style High Power (you might call it fullbore) target frames and they can be run up and down from the pits at random. at first only partial exposures, until finally they pop up all the way, either bull or cow, shooter doesn't know when it will occur and only has seconds like you say to shoot. Penalty for shooting the tuskless. Penalty points if you miss or wound (client gets trampled)

Sorry we missed you, 17 shooters!

it was an absolute blast, 5 stages, bullseye, full-sized buff, charging buff, big-5 run, bobbing elephants - if you wound or miss dangerous game, your client gets eaten!

Looked like a great shoot.
What were some of the cartridges used by some of the shooters?

Cool Videos!

That looks like a blast - IPSC with a big game rifle! Love it.

Yeah! I ran part of our match on our club's practical range, borrowed their plastic barrels and walls as props and their timer!

Its not exactly IPSC, for it to be IPSC we would have required red-dot sights, an open frame quick draw "holster" for the .458 and a bunch magazine holders on the belt and brightly colored shirts advertizing various gun makers. Nor was it exactly IDPA, in that case, every shooter would have to wear a 511 vest
