Side lock only for the MLs?...and im assuming only open sights?

Original Creedmoor match was indeed sidelock ML vs Sharps & Rolling Block’s all with open sights..

I agree..

I was just curious. I love some of the "fancy" long range target oriented sidelocks.

Great will be looking forward to it.I did not get any range work done as I did not get my lock repair done and back to me until mid October .just got done a long hunting season. Now we are to get a foot of snow or more starting tomorrow .my range may not be opened. Had a great time last year as my first time at this,and all the shooters were very helpful and patience. I guess the shoot will be the same as last year 200,300,600,and1000yards.

This is a very friendly fun shoot ,you will see some fine guns and great bunch of guys.great range and club house and a very good dinner at the award presentation. A shooter of your class I am sure you cold give the best there a good challenge. I built my custom gun to take there with only a couple of weeks to shoot it.hope to see you there.

 

[Dougs136Schwartz]

I bought Joes Pedisoli Gibbs. I was very fortunate to buy a gun that has proven loads . That will be a huge help . I just do not have time right now to shoot . Its killing me. I want so bad to play with heavy lead long range. I have got to spend a fair amount of time shooting the gun . Lots to learn !I do not want to go down and embarrass myself.

 

[wildcat2]

There is no embarrassing at this shot, glad you got a gun. Just mailed back from Rick and we are shooting 200,600,and 1000yarder twice.as I understand it ,my main goal last year being a greenhorn was to hit the 1000 yard.and it did happen. I did not get time to shoot my gun loads this summer as I did not get my lock repair done until mid October, full bore hunting was on until last Saturday. Now we are going to get 18 inches of snow and my range will be closed. I will go even if I don't get range work in,you will learn a lot just being there. The 150 year creedmoor match in 2024 will be a great one.hope to be there also god willing.if I was saved enough to send pictures on this forum I would send one of my hennry custom build and the wood presentation case I made it.it was a lot of fun doing both.

Doug:
Sorry for the delay in response.
When I size down the rules and info about the match for this site - it's too small/blurry to read. I created a 'Creedmoor 150' FB page for information. Or, you can email me.

Thank u

Rick, if you save the photo, say to Postimage like I did, save them without reduction. Then you can copy that link to here and in general, it can be read.
For those using Windows, just click on the setting and more dots, and they can enlarge even these.
