Here are a few pics from yesterdays match.

Instead of the normal (200-400 yards) distances, we pulled the targets in closer thinking some or most AK drivers might be using iron sights.

The AK was doing ok (for me anyway) as long as the targets were close and there were no mandatory reloads. Once the targets got further away, the crappy trigger and short stock kinda sealed the deal for the AR...

Up on the shotgun ranges with squad 3. Close target, 90 yards. Far target, 197 yards.

Squad 3 at the VTAC wall. The target was a full size IPSC target at 140 yards. We even had a SCAR show up.

I was the only guy on squad 3 shooting a commie gun. Mine might only be a half of a commie gun seeing as how it is a 223 AK. Hard to imagine that a 223 AK could recoil as much as a 5.45 or 7.62 but they do. The slippery buttplate made the awkward positions hard because the rifle recoiled out of my shoulder with every shot.

And the man that thought up the AK vs AR Match many years ago.

Put an SKS pad on it. makes it 1" longer and it will grip better. All of the SAR-3's are over gassed. That is why your brass was at your 4 and 25' away. [Flower]

I got a little beat up from hunching that far forward, but it was a tad more stable. My long skinny neck always creeps forward looking for a charge handle...

I really like pic #1, a guy shooting a rifle and a sign that says "Shotguns only. No rifles or pistol" HAHAHA.

I had Chuck take a step back when he was RO-ing just to be sure I got that sign in the pic...

I am really sorry I had to miss this. I had to lead a construction party at my gun club and there simply wasn't anyone else to pawn the job off on. I never got the pleasure of meeting Eddie, but I have a sneaky suspicion we would have gotten along well. I'll try my best to honor him in every pull of the rifle trigger, every pump of the shotty and every 45 round I reload. Cheers!

Looks like a great time, thanks for sharing the pics.

I like the first pic, on the left you have a guy with a rifle, and on the right a sight that reads 'Shotguns only NO rifles or handguns'

We got special permission from the PWSA Board to shoot rifles up there when we run matches. A few members that are not aware of it blow a gasket, then relax when I explain things.

Next month is the last rifle match of 2012.
