I would have placed 3rd among those that shot today except I dropped one round on the final string. (80 shots and 2 sighters per stage and I managed to put one round on the neighbors target.)
Had a good time anyway, and this was my first time out at Ben Lomand, seems like a decent place.

Good for you. They run a pretty good reduced match. If your getting serious about highpower let me know, I have some gear I am selling. White oak upper, spare barrel, scope stand, 22lr SR upper. Lots of stuff.
Very nice. How long you bee competing, rifle used , etc ?
I just realized that I missed an X when I added the score its 694 - 6X and I would have broke 700 if I had not improved the score of the shooter next to me.
I might be interested in the .22 upper but do not currently have the funds available. I had been looking at a .22 upper (Service rifle copy) from Keystone Accuracy that I discovered via this board http://www.usrifleteams.com/forums/Quote:

I need more than anything else to purchase a decent spotting scope but I am the type of individual that goes without until I can "buy once cry once" and not settle for something less than I want and I want good glass when I buy one. Rifle used was an Armalite National Match with Nosler Custom 77gr HPBT factory ammunition. (It was on close out at Sportsman's Warehouse so I bought 200 rounds.)Quote:

I know all about those misses.. Went out today at WCFW and shot my best score. However had a miss in offhand when I took up the first stage of the trigger and started coming down and BOOM! Put one into the berm over the target... Oops!
Anyways. Shot a 744-14X today. If I hadn't made that miss and put it in the 8 ring, I would have made Master class.
Scores were:
offhand: 172 with a miss
sitting: 190
prone: 188
slow prone 194
Total: 744- 14X
Here's my 600 reduced target... Wish I didn't have that one flyer 8 at 11o'clock...

What is the distance you fellas are shooting at?
I was shooting at 200yards with the 300 and 600 yard stages shot with reduced size targets.
I suspect the OP was too with the 600 yard reduced target he posted.
Damn impressive, especially with irons. I can't see 50yds with out a map & laser pointer.
In both Weld County and Ben Lomand's case the matches are at 200 yards with the "reduced" targets changed for each string to mimic the 300 and 600 yard shooting. So while you do not have to fiddle with elevation you are shooting at progressively smaller targets. Colorado Rifle club actually shoots to 600 in these matches.Quote:
