Safari Rifle Shoot - PRGC Phoenix AZ 17Apr11 1PM
      #178795 - 11/04/11 02:44 PM

Shooters, Hunters and Dreamers!

The Spring Safari Rifle Shoot at PRGC will be held on the afternoon of Sunday 17-Apr-2011 at 1PM set up 12PM or so.

Formerly called a Big Bore or Dangerous Game shoot, this month's shoot will be a somewhat improved version of the prior events. I am adding a "Plains Game" stage, shooting at those small sized Safari Press targets at up to 50 yds, you can use the same big bore rifle or a smaller rifle. We'll still have the full sized Elephants, the full sized charging Cape Buffalo, some miniature targets of the big 5 animals. Scoring is points per hit with penalties for time, miss/wound or underpowered rifle.

and of course, a PITH HELMET awarded to the winner!

Held at PRGC in Phoenix, AZ (end of 7th AVENUE up against the mountain) we'll meet at the smallbore range and after set up, split into groups and shoot the 5 stages. Expect 5 shots on plains game and 11 to 14 shots with your big bore rifle(s). Should be done 4 or 5 PM or so. $20 fee. Spectators welcome!

I'm dreaming, but it would be nice to get together a bunch of Aussies and come over to show you how us colonials 'do it'.

Bill

What do you use to power the charging buffalo target with again?

Looks like it works quite well.

The numbered elephant targets, do they pop up or is it one target per shooter?

Like the green high grass on the shooting stand too. Adds extra fun and realism.

The charging buff is a cart with a rope, Shooter shoots the stationary target, then steps out into the open to reload and 2 seconds later another guy pulls the rope and starts running. I also have a bear target for our north-american hunting shoots.

The elephants are 6' square mounted in standard NRA/CMP high power (that would be "Fullbore" to you guys) rifle target carriers. I sent several shooters to the pits and several on the line and the guys in the pits run the targets up and down and move the tusks around at random so you never know what's going to come up where.

miniature targets came from safari press, full size ones from a can of spray paint.

shoot good!
