Tips for medium and long range revolver shooting?

That's right! Here in Minot we have a 50 yard pistol pit, 25 yard pistol bay, 200 yard general shooting area, and a 700 (that's right...I said 700 yard!) rifle range. And a brand spanking new indoor range with classrooms for Hunter's Safety and Gun Safety classes. It's really an awesome range for a smaller area!

We no longer shoot, IHMSA, however. They still have some rams and such, but I believe most have been damaged or destroyed by idiots during the week. We do ICORE, IPSC, and 3 gun though.

I would really like to try out some silhouette shooting. I wouldnt be competitive, but just knocking a few down would be a lot of fun. That would be done with my Single Six, which i am better with. i'm thinking about making a small set of my own, maybe one of each, and just hang them intead of knocking them down. shooting is a lot more fun when you hear that DING, or sorry, .22, "ping."

and why isnt this a picture thread?? i seem to recal a thread about posting you long range weapon/handgun but maybe i'm wrong. I'm eagerly waiting for the Freedom Arm's pictures from sombody....

What a beautiful facility! Y'all should be proud of your organization and achievements!! I left the club in '83 due to some problems with the club's president at that time. He was a thief and there were frictions. I'm truly happy that the club moved out of that old trailer and has prospered.

One of my sons, born at Minot, lives at Grand Forks and is a member of their rifle/pistol club. I mailed him a Ruger Redhawk for Christmas because. . .he wants to learn long-range handgunning. . . .

what kind of sights does one use for long range shooting/competition?

I used the factory sights on my Blackhawk, but I have a hooded ramp with fiberoptic bead front and peep rear on my 10" bull MKII. I use the aperture when sighting in off the bench (I also have a self-storing quick detach bipod I made on it), and remove it and use it as a ghost ring in the field. I also once silver soldered a bead to the factory sight of a Super Single Six, and made a replacement peep blade for the rear factory sight which worked real well.
