here is a long range shoot much like what i did at the Sportsman's Challenge here in eastern wa, but this will be held at Killgore Adentures on the Salmon river just outside of White bird, ID.
This shoot will be held Labor day weekend the 1st,2nd and 3rd of September
There is a campground on the shore of the Salmon river that has some full RV hookups and then dry camping spots for tents and/or campers. on the campground there is showers and restroom facilities. Killgore has a motel just 2 miles down the road, also in the area there is hotels and other lodging facilities in the area with Riggins, Grangeville and White bird being the closest to the event.
The shoot will be have two courses (big and small game). For the small game course you will have 20-25 minutes to shoot all the targets. The big game course will be split up in half with the amount of targets so barrels can cool and to keep the weather changes fair for the majority, so if there are 14 big game targets we will shoot the first 7 and run the whole list of shooters through and then once the list is complete we will start them all over again shooting the next 7 targets. this will also keep people more involved with less waiting time in between shooting times. On the big game course time will vary depending on how many people will be shooting, but most likely there will be about 15 minutes to shoot your 7 targets. if there is a large amount of people who show up to shoot we may have two people on the firing line shooting at a time, but with some space between them. At the beginning of the shoot there will be an allotted time so that everyone will be able to range and sketch the targets, helping you when you get up to the firing line.
small game: big game:
all steel wood frames w/ steel vitals
Ranges 150-550 yards 500-1000 yards
- You will be able to have a partner with you while you are on the line to help with ranging and calling out drop information
- small game calibers .308 caliber and smaller excluding all magnum cartridges.

the match will be held saturday with sunday holding some fun shooting. looking at having a target at maybe 1200, one at 1400 and then have one target set rite at a mile so guys who would like to try a shot at those distances can. probably do a 5$ per shooter fee that day and will split that up trhough those shoots and maybe have some gift certificates from different manufacturers for people that make first round hits.
looking like this event will be a lot of fun with 1st place prizes of possibly a nightforce scope for big game and then a kel tec .22 magnum pistol or something for a small game first place.
there is going to be some bbq available for dinner, some lunches and lots of good people to bs with.

you should she will have other wives to watch shoot and maybe in courage her to want to try a few shots. my buddy brought his wife and daughter to my small game shoot last month and now his wife is hooked and his daughter took third beating her brother and two others.
feanix,
i don't know why you wouldn't bring the 270 and try for the scope. that thing sounds like its doing well. the small game shouldn't go to much further that your water bottle(shouldn't is relative).
the sportsman's challenge in may the farthest small game target was a coyote at about 590 yards
