Test shooters needed - steel targets

Postby Sigfan220 on Tue Apr 17, 2012 5:58 pm

I am looking for a crew of guys that love shooting. What I need is a group of guys to come out to the range with me to help test new products(steel targets and stands). Currently Forcefed and I have been doing the bulk of the testing. It is a blast but more guns are needed to test my steel targets at the range. Send me a PM if you are interested with your email and phone number. We can go over a bit more of the details.

I think Forcefed would agree that we have a blast at the range. Nothing beat blasting steel for 3-4 hours non stop!!

Details:
You need to be able to hit the broad side of a barn – say a 5” steel at 100yds with a rifle and a 10” at 10yds with a handgun. I can guarantee you will get better too, it is great practice.
No pay but there will be some perks
I bring all of the gear, targets, hangers and stands
No ammo or guns can be provided
Anything and everything is used, centerfire and rimfire in both rifles and pistols.
Two primary ranges are used Gopher Campfire and Rainbow Sportsmans, state land used once in a while
A typical day of testing is 200-500 rounds of various calibers, but you can shoot till your fingers are sore and barrels glowing hot :D

I would do this in a heart beat if I had the time. Once the wife beats this cancer stuff I will contacting you for sure. Just a thought, I would bet if you brought them to a steel shoot. You could get a few people to hang around after Man v Man.

"No ammo or guns can be provided"
Does this mean provided by you, or provided by the attendees?

Either way i'm PMing for more details :)

Can I bring my 50BMG's ???

This sounds like fun, good way to burn up some 40S&W, 9mm, 44RemMag, 357Mag, 223, 308, 30-06, 25-06, 280,. etc.

Next thing you know someone will be asking for guys to stop by and taste-test the beer they're brewing.

What's the purpose of the testing? Are you looking for someone to bring steel core to test the resiliency of the plates?

This was going to be my question. I've got 440 rounds that I can't shoot at any of the public ranges.
