I hate I didn’t get hang around and watch the V2 match it’s truly a good spectator sport. I watch it a lot on UTube . I think it can add a lot of pressure knowing what the guy you’re shooting against score is. Plus the fact that it brought a lot of new to us shooter to Reese Bottom. It’s funny I shot some of my Lowe’s scores and came in last a…[Read more]

Sorry writing my match report got interrupted by Collage football, the meat of what happen during the match was I fought both the wind and my gun and they got the best of me. I hope to have the gun “fixed” by next match the wind will have to “fix” itself. Today is the lords day and HE is “fixing“ me.

After reading some of my last few match reports I got to thinking it sounded like was making excuses which I didn’t mean it that way. I’m just telling a story of random of thoughts during the match, things that I was telling my self. What I was doing wrong, what I needed to change and whether I did it or not. Asking myself is what I tried wor…[Read more]

It had me scratching my head also, I try different things to clear it up and Apparently nobody else on that relay had that problem and it was NOT a problem on the next two relays so that really has me confused. And let me say up front I am complaining or using it as an excuse. I just thought of something one day a few months back I was at the…[Read more]

Thank y’all for posting. Barry I was thinking about that, with the sun shield on theirs only 4” of barrel passed the shield. With the heavy recoil it would have to be “heavily” attached lol. You did give me something to maybe look into thanks
