Sad part was that was the original windshield and didn?t have any cracks or chips.
I priced one today and that sucker is $350.
For comparison, a windshield for my truck is $180.
I need to check my insurance coverage and see how or if they cover glass.
Tell about the match. Stages? Distances? Challenges? Best lesson?Quote:

Correction, that may have been the 2nd stage.Quote:

They are charging you more for your policy though, one way or another. If it's still cheaper than other policies, then probably not a big deal.Quote:

I did pretty well my first time out to this flavor of match. Really enjoyed the course. Seemed pretty special to me & I wonder just how many places there are like it. Not many I imagine, but I wouldn't know. Makes all the difference when your data is gtg, which mine was golden after my class the previous weekend with Colorado Precision Rifle @ BSR. Brian Whalen really helped me put the bits of info I had together & build up more from there... anyhoo... its Virginia count on the clock so your best guess is the only one you get. Trigger time & good data records are next. Im @ 430 rds on my first bolt gun so Im pretty dang pleased I could shoot 36 points when the match was won with 51 points with only 60 possible. I can do better. Its really hard & it also kind of wasn't -- might be my thing & ill just have to see how it goes.
good deal and nice shooting .Quote:

Nice, glad you had fun. Sounds like you're roped into long range for sure now.
Pretty much doomed.Quote:

Very cool. You have been thoughtful and smart with your money and it is paying off.Quote:

Yeah, about that... there are quite a few things on my wish list, nothing too extravagant though. 10" Arca rail, shorter atlas bipod, 55" pelican hardcase, accuracy first scope level, Hawkins rings, a pollok shooting mat, a kestrel with ab/link & the largest bulk lot of 6.5cm ammo I can afford in a single purchase.Quote:

Mellencamp or Springsteen.
Todd Snider would have the best version.
Sounds like you need a few sponsors ;)Quote:

Can't say enough about how kind the shooting community is, truly.
Ill see your Todd Snider & raise you a Mojo NixonQuote:

Unfortunately, there's no extra shots allowed on the course, even after its all done, so I might never know for certain. I'll spend the time & rounds to double check my data for those distances later this week just to verify its good. Expect Ill learn something from that too.Quote:

That's even more nifty.
That sounds nasty Ray.Quote:
