Having put a couple dozen rounds on target over the course of my life, I can and do respect anyone that can do it well. There are no royal means to marksmanship. Daddy can't buy it for ya. You gotta earn it.

Thanks Shlomo, I dont know if I was shooting next to you or you were just Stat Office stalking me but it does feel good to be appreciated. What I really like about that placement is that I built that rifle myself, all within the rules set forth for the as issued matches. Drill rifle reactivated with a critereon barrel in a keystone C stock. A friend showed me a few tricks to make em shoot and, well it will. I would have done a lot better but I threw a 6 and a 8 in offhand. I learned a few things in that match that I will change in regards to my handload and position and will come back next year with the win.
I also made the ar15 air rifle challenge shootoff, and finished 9th overall ( beating ty cooper by a point was the high point of that event.) Now for the bad news, I missed getting my final leg by 5 pts, because I blew offhand due to nerves, and missed making the presidents 100 by 4 pts. Next year.......

Nah, I wasn't there this year, but the least I could do is scan the stats for "family", and post anything studly.
You and the others definitely qualified. |
