  4. Well I wanted to get into long range shooting/hunting about a year ago. I had a very knowlegable shooter (CWT member Speedygross) help me build a rifle. I picked up a 300 win mag Remington 700 5R Rifling. He then bedded the gun, timney trigger, 20 moa 1 peice ring, seekins precision rings, and Vortex scope. Then I realized how much more there was to long range shooting as such as building a round that my gun would like. WOW that was a long process. I had a guest bedroom in my house that was used once a year for guest so I turned it into a reloading room, (wife was pissed). I finally made a round that worked for me. (210 berger, re-22, norma brass). Then a buddy of me told me about the app for my phone called SHOOTER. Now saying I am impressed is an understatement. I plugged in all my info that I had for this app, here is a few( velocity, temp, round, gun, elevation, barometric pressure, etc....) The app then tells you how many MOA or clicks to your target. So yesterday was the first real day of long range. I took my kids out and we zero the gun at 100.....I then pulled up the app on my phone and dialed in 400. I am shooting at a small steel gong which in 12 inches wide and 20 inches long. At 400 yds whic is the furthes I have ever shot before I hit dead center up and down and left and right and there is that wonderful noise (BING!!!!!) My kids and i look at each other like WOW> lets go to 600.....At 600 that 12 inch steel is very small....We put in the info again and set the scope to what it told me. FIRE-- and BING!!!!!! Holy cow nailed it again and dead center. Now I'm blown away. So then my kids say dad lets just try it. The big 1000 yards. We set up and get our MOA and set the gun up... This 12 inch steel pipe you cant even see anymore. Set the scope to 20 power and Shoot......CRAP MISS.....Elevation looked good so i set back up again and take my time for a perfect still shot. Shoot and BING!!!!!!!!!! It was such a feel of accomplishment. Took about a year to do, but I have a new goal now of 1 mile (1780 I believe). I will continue to practice all yardage but it felt good hearing that BING at 1000 and pass my first goal.. Thought I would share

  12. My son is just too big for this now. Great starter gun for small kids. Both my kids used and killed animals with. Has its normal wear but nice gun. Would like to trade for a 270 in good shape as he is getting bigger. I think that would be a good step up. Shoot me a pm if interested. Thx Semper Fi

    Forest service officer shooting

    Authorities have identified the man who was shot and killed by a U.S. Forest Service officer near Payson on Friday. MOREAdditional Links The Coconino County Sheriff's Office said 66-year-old Courtney James VanRiper, also spelled Van Ripper, was shot after attacking the officer in the Blue Ridge area. VanRiper's last known address was Oklahoma City, OK, and authorities believe at some point he lived in Wyoming. Detectives have not been able to reach his family. The U.S. Forest Service said the officer contacted VanRiper who was camping in the forest near the junction of Highway 260 and State Route 87 off of Forest Service Road 616. VanRiper sprayed bear repellant in the officer's face and while the officer had impaired vision, he fired multiple rounds at VanRiper, striking him twice, Coconino County Sheriff's Office said. VanRiper was taken to Payson Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. The Forest Service said their officer, 34-year-old Douglas Pederson, was not hurt. Pederson has worked with the Forest Service for 15 years and has been a U.S. Forest Service Law Enforcement Officer for the last two years. Detectives said VanRiper has an outstanding felony warrant for a probation violation out of the Yavapai County Superior Court. The vehicle VanRiper had was reported stolen out of Flagstaff and he also had a stolen handgun, according to the Coconino County Sheriff's Office. The Coconino County Sheriff's Office and the FBI are both investigating the shooting
