Being the 1st annual we are trying to ensure all t are crossed and i dotted before officially posting.
In addition the cold bow just kicked off so it's taken priority in the near term, since June 3rd is still out a month.

I'll try to get the rules posted by mid May so everyone has plenty of time to get ready.

I made the 3 hour drive to my shooting spot yesterday to start setting targets. Nine set so far and a bunch more to go. It's going to be an awesome place to shoot.

It’s not a matter of getting a target. It’s a matter of getting permission to set up a target at a specific distance, on a controlled range.

There are multiple ranges in NC and VA that go beyond 1K and have daily rates. Call them up and tell them what you want to do, worst they can do is say no. I’ve shot at all of these and I can almost guarantee you they have 10” steel.
VA
Pigg River Precision
Bang Steel Shooting School
NC
Colemans Creek
Griffin Group
Frontline Defense

Coleman’s creek has bays with like a billion plates so it’s pretty likely they have one extremely close to the number you’re looking for.

Check out today's Tipsy Tuesday Rokcast
where I'm joined by @Justin Crossley to discuss the 1st annual Cold Bore Challenge, including the available prizes.

I’m in. Sounds fun

Understand there may not be different divisions like the Bow Challenge rules state but any options similar to trad and compound to double the odds? Maybe small bore big bore/Centerfire and muzzy?

This would be a cool way for people with non-long range rifles to get an extra entry, open sighted rifles or open sighted muzzle loaders would be a cool addition. Quite a few members in the muzzleloader loader forum would probably enjoy this, maybe it could be another challenge later?

 

[PurpleDriver]

What about rimfire at 100yds minimum? Wind drift and drop have many similarities to center fire at 600yds. Would that be permissible to allow more to participate in the Cold Bore Challenge?

Listen to the podcast folks. This is the long range sub forum, not the I can't shoot long range but wish I could forum. The point is to use your hunting rifle in a real world scenario.

I listened to the podcast last night but didn't hear how you limit it to 100 people. Is it the first 100 who post up their target?

I haven't shot much lately and this is a good excuse to do so. The morning of June 2nd I'll be shootin.

Thanks Rokslide for the opportunity for the giveaway.

Limiting the playing field to 100? That changes things for me - my schedule doesn't allow the beginning of June.

Having the goodies limited to being drawn out of a hat of 100 folks, maybe 50 doing 600+ yds, so 1 in 150 chance for the goodies aint shabby.

Y'all have fun and good luck with the drawings!!!!

So is it the first 100 to comment? Or the first 100 to post up their first shot?

I'd say to post up the shot pics or video - talk is cheap.
