Always learn more by shooting competition than just range time. I have to figure out why monopoding off the mag is jamming up my bolt. I had a few flashbacks of running disfunction ally back in the day during the match.
Proof EVERYONE that stayed home got beat by a girl. Hang your head in shame.

Now if I could just learn to shoot offhand!

Close-range stage, note the target sitting just beneath the bush.

CLANG!
Every time a steel target rings, an angel locks and loads.

This stage involved a little bit of movement.

I love it when you get a photo with the brass still in the air.

Testing out the new OP MOD II from Optics Planet. It's a fairly neat piece of kit, and despite being sub-optimal for long range shots, did pretty well. (The rifle it's mounted to, on the other hand...)

Yeah, we did a bit of offhand shooting. Not so easy with the EoTech.

RUN!

A few pics from last Sundays match. I spent too much time on the timer and not enough time taking pics.
Dont be scared, even girls shoot this match. Staying at home wont help you get any better. Get out there and shoot.
Again this year these matches would not happen without everyones support and help. I could not and would not do it without everyone chipping in and helping. Special thanks to Justin for being my Assistant Match Director and doing a great job with setting things up on the shotgun berms. He designed some excellent stages this year.
See you guys next year.
Some tough offhand shooting on the shotgun berms.

Another great match Hoser. Thank you again.
Challenging fun match this month. Here's a position I had never shot in, was surprisingly stable.

Here is what today was about. Surrounded by Friends and Family, the 425 yard range that Eddie spent so much time on was dedicated to him.
We all shared some Eddie stories and got some rifle shooting in.

Thanks Hoser. It was a great match.
How does a rookie get into these matches
Show up. Knee pads are a good idea, a couple magazine pouches (or stuff magazines in your pockets) and a couple hundred rounds of ammo.Quote:

Fun times. Here's the stage where I didn't go all crosseyed and burn 75 rounds.
Man i miss this match. Out of all of the matches this is a fun one.
Sent using Awesome Sauce with some Hate Dust sprinkled on top.
Great match Hoser. Diabolical wind and some tough stages made for a fun day! I have plenty to work on before next year's season starts.
Most pleased to get a few battle scars on my new AR!
By far my favorite club match. Always good to shoot rifles like rifles.
Fun time seeing old friends and meeting new people on a dusty windy spring day in the high desert.
Told you I was going to bring the ugly.

That was a fun and challenging match, glad I made it out for this one!
Enjoyed the match today, tons of fun and nice shooting with a forum members there!
Thanks Hoser and Justin for running it!
Good shooting with everyone yesterday. Turns out you get a little rusty when you havent shot a match since 2011...
Heres a couple vids I took on my go pro. Now you can listen to heavy breathing sounds and watch me miss a bunch of times in HD. Enjoy!

Kenny can flat out SHOOT.
Every marine a rifleman indeed.
Thanks for putting doing this match series. Its been fun.
I did go home and figured out that a Strike Fire really does need a fifty yard zero as the instructions say.
That was a damn good time. I appreciate you folks putting on the match and look forward to coming back out regularly!

That was a LOT of fun, the Texas star is always a blast!
Still can't suss whats's up with my rifle to cause that jam, stripped it down inspected all the parts. Aside from what looks like chipping at the end of the buffer tube (which I tightened maybe 1/16 of a turn) could it be the buffer spring itself? Or a whole new set of springs to be safe?
First time shooting a Tactical rifle match. Wow that was fun!! I'll be back!
I got busy with life and then I saw a squirrel.Quote:

Yesterday was great fun. I can't say often enough how much I appreciate Justin and Hoser's work at running this match. I've learned so much so far.
But if Sean beats me again with his junk AR, I'm gonna .... [handbags]
AWESOME!!! Thanks so much, Hoser!
I know we all REALLY appreciate all the work you and the team that help run this match do!!
See you next month!'
Are these every month? Looking to do a couple in the late winter or spring when I should have a scoped AR and red dot AR ready to go.
These as in the AK vs AR match? Nope. That is a once a year match. The match as a whole runs March thru Oct. Below is from post #1 in this thread.Quote:

Thanks Hoser and Justin and everyone else that makes these happen. Can’t wait for March 25, 2018.
Thanks for coming down. Things went really smooth yesterday. It is almost like after 17-18 years of this its all coming together.Quote:

Fun match yesterday! Thank you Hoser and Justin!
Was an awesome match! My daughter and I had a blast! Can't wait till next year.
It was a blast to shoot this match again. I need to make it down there more than once a year for this match.
I couldn't agree with Zach O more! It is a great match! It definitely help me get ready for Red October!
Thank you SO much Justin and Hoser for all you do!!
See you all in March when I'm shooting Heavy and getting warmed up for He-Man Nationals!
