Lever Action Silhouette JUBILEE Oct 29 & 30
« on: October 19, 2005, 06:50:19 AM »
Fellow lever action enthusiasts,

The 2005 Lever Action JUBILEE is set for October 29 & 30 in Ridgway, PA.

Bring your Marlins / Winchesters / Savages & numerous rounds of ammunition (jacketed or cast bullets) to Ridgway Rifle Club, located on Grant Road in Ridgway, PA for some lever action silhouette fun!

This is a fuunnn match, first and foremost. The main idea is for lever gun enthusiasts to get together in a relaxed atmosphere to talk about and shoot our favorite lever action rifles.

Bring as many rifles as you want! Some for show too!

Course of fire: NRA HIGH POWER RIFLE SILHOUETTE
chickens - 200m / pigs - 300m / turkeys - 385m / rams - 500m
40 shot match each day - 10 shots at each distance.

You can shoot as many shots at the first steel target until you hit it, then shoot 1 shot ea. at the next 9 targets.

Shooting position: freestyle (sitting, prone, etc.) slings are ok but artificial rests like cross sticks are not permitted.

- Two classes: iron sight / scope
- Use a different rifle at each distance if you want to.
- Entry fee: $5.00 per day - shoot one or both days
- Cartridges may be single loaded

Saturday, October 29
10:00 - Range open for sighting in & practice
1:00 - 1st relay to the firing line.

Sunday, October 30
8:00 - Range open for sighting in & practice
10:00 - 1st relay to the firing line

Side match each day - Tres Banditos team shoot - Fastest time on five targets @ 300 meters

The clubhouse is available Saturday night for an overnight stay. Bring your sleeping bag / cot. The Royal Inn is located within 10 minutes of the range. Phone: 814-773-3153.

The range is located on Grant Road at the west end of town. Take main street west to Grant Road and turn right. The club is located about 2 miles down the road on the left hand side. The entrance to the silhouette range is about 200 yards before the clubhouse.

Spectators welcome!

Hope to see you there!

Lever Action Jubilee

Just checking.   Is it the high power distance for both Sauturday and Sunday for the lever action jubilee?

I am asking since someone indicated that at one time they thought the jubilee was shot at either the pistol cartridge distance or normal cowboy lever distance one day and at the high power distance on the 2nd day.

No matter, what distance it is shot at sounds like a great time to be had by all.

Al,
The course of fire is the the same for both days.....the High power Silhouette range.

Cartridges that have been used in the past are .25-35, .30-30, .32 W.S. , .32-40, .357, .38-55, .40-82, .44-40, .45 Colt & .45-70.  

Last year I decided to try my .39A .22 on the 200 meter chickens. I offset them to allow them fall over from the hit.  I managed to tag a few.

Lots of fuunnn........

Hope you can make it.
