Event: Monthly Meet – Over The Log – Chunk Gun Shoot
February 25, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Chunk Gun Event
This is a unique event as the firearms traditionally used are quite unique. The “Chunk Guns” can weigh between 30 to 60 lbs. So, the shooting format or posture is to lie “prone”. But, if you’re more comfortable shooting yours benched, that’s fine too. To participate, you may bring any muzzle-loading rifle you wish – does not have to weigh a ton.
THE PARTICULARS:
For those of you who do not like to get up and down from the ground, we will have two classifications, prone and bench. Bench will include offhand, supported – standing with a shooting stick, using the cover support like a tree, sitting, kneeling, all other. You do not have to have any special equipment like a “chunk gun”. So basically any gun, any sights, any caliber and shoot with us. So if you have a new rifle, new load, new anything and want to test it out, this is a great match for that.
Remember to bring your favorite 50 yard sight in target for your warmup practice shots. You will be walking some as you change the target each shot and it is 50 out and 50 back a few times.
GUESTS:
Guests are always welcome who just want to watch, learn and meet folks. Bring a chair and we got two picnic tables to sit at as well.
