    Keen, but haven't shot anything over 200 yards. Have 308 set up for long-range, drop chart, hand loads ect. Room for someone relatively new to distance shooting?

    I'm going along to try my hand at the dark art, so you won't be the only greenhorn at this long distance stuff.

    yeah 223 is absolutely fine .The day or two depending what people want to stay over or not is a place to stretch your legs and try different stuff -its a learning day but under a little pressure .We will help anyone one there and show you how to help each other .Little things like spotting that you may take for granted -learn to call the shot properly so you can direct a shooter onto the target .
    Come and have a great day !

    Haven't looked at the roster yet but I'll just take the day off anyway. So yeah myself plus one other will be there. Fairly new to any long range stuff and both only have .308s
