The great buffalo hunt

[Trap]

 
  The KVC will host the GBH on Oct. 6, 7, 8. 30 rounds will be needed for score. 60 lb. buff. targets will need to be knocked down to count as a kill. Rifles must be single shot rifles or loaded 1 at a time. No sight ins or range finders allowed. Period camping available (a portable toilet will be available). Shooting will be in 2 segments of 15 shots each. There will be a chuck wagon on site to purchase reasonably priced meals. So that the cook may have enough food on hand please let us know if you plan on taking advantage of this service. There will also be a .22 buffalo shoot, need not shoot the big guns to enter. 

  This is a blanket shoot, so for each category you shoot you must bring a prize.
  you may shoot Black or smokeless, Not both. Again if you are shooting the .22 match you must have a separate prize.

Big bore match $20 + blanket prize,  .22 $5 if entered in Big bore or $10 if it is the only match you are shooting + blanket prize

Oh, wish I could come to this match. But alas, my travel budget does have its limits.

[Tascosa Joe]

I too would like to attend, but too damn many Dr. Appts in early Oct.

[Howell Jackson]

for the rifle, can a 1894 winchester 30-30 be used loading one at a time?

[Trap]

Sorry, too small to knock down the targets at a velocity that would not damage our targets.

45-120?

[Wooly Dan]

Will every thing be from a standing position, and are will.shooting sticks allowed?  I will be coming with Col Diamond and Poker Anne  for Saturday only.

[Howell Jackson]

So Marlin 1895 in 45-70, loading one at at time will work?

[Books OToole]

Bring a bucket of .45-70 rounds and I'll let you shoot my (Jerry Barnes') Sharps.

Sorry I won't be able to make it . I put on 2 similar buffalo shoots a year and my advice
is to use 525-540 gr bullets over real black. I had a new guy call and insisted on using
smokeless (you know that new stuff) and a 405 gr bullet. He hit the same buff 12 times
and it laughed at him. I keep track of calibers that are used and 45/90 is usually the most
common at the top of the leader board, although 45/70 will do alright.  Have fun

  45/120 fine
  The '95......Since we gave the truck away in may, Since it is a blanket shoot, If no one that is coming Objects by Thur at noon I will ok it. If someone wants to object PM or email me and no one will know who objects.   jt

  Howell , I have an objection on the '95 sorry. Objection: it is not period correct to the buffalo hunting era, I seem to remember you had an offer of a sharps if you bring your 45/70 ammo.     jt

[Howell Jackson]

Thanks for checking.

[Wooly Dan]

What shooting positions will be allowed?  Can I shoot from a chair with shooting sticks? .??

When the skinners went to work, In the big bore match Dennis Ryan had killed the most with a  97% kill rate followed closely by Dave Birk and Jack Bursovsky. In the rimfire match John Torrence lead with an 80% kill rate followed very closely by Anne Estrada and Dan Carder.    jt
