Long Range shooting at Arena in Blakely GA

[palmettomoon]

…I’m going to be at annual training….



I got 3 long range rifles ready to go too. Farthest I’ve taken them is only 400 yards.

If you haven't been to Arena, it's worth the trip. I'm going with another group in April or I'd sign up for this one.

Recommend that you pair up individuals coming alone, a shooter WILL need a spotter at distances not covered by remote cameras (in the tower).

Thanks for that info. AK74U and I will probably spot for each other. Going to see if my other buddy who can’t make it will let me borrow their spotting scope.

High end scopes as a secondary shooter *should* be good enough to spot shots. 25x and up with quality glass.

Bigger is better. I use a 100mm objective lens 20-60 variable spotting scope and it's adequate to 1,200 yards (dry conditions where you can see splashes) , but no use beyond that other than reading wind.

Eddy at arena is a great guy. The range is super nice. take plenty of food and drink. Also take some dryer sheet to put in your hat to keep the nats away. I've shot and helped work a few matches there, next one on schedule is 11/-5-6. The little houses are nice. Yawl will have a great time,

I'll bring Kestrel and Sig Kilo 3000BDX. Might see if I can grab a spotting scope with Tactacam to grab footage of impacts and spotting purposes.
