It was a really good day for shooting Mr. Richard. Best I remember the most I held off was the ‘0’ of the ten on the right side. The last relay I shot as fast as I could, the wind really laid down for that one.

Couple of things on this match. My third target was shot at 80, I could ‘see’ this one better than the first two. The 20 I shot were shorter than the first two targets after sorting (.090-.095 vs .095-.100).
I’ll tune again before the next one like Bill says above. I took my barrel off after the match and checked my chamber, it’s moved about .…[Read more]

.308 and yes to v2

Keep posting and making us think Mr. Richard. We all appreciate it.

Mr. Richard,
I noticed something interesting looking at scores from November compared to February. The winners in November would not have even placed this weekend in either division. That tells me we all have to really work to keep up. I also appreciate all the help given. I try to learn something new every time and appreciate the wealth of…[Read more]

It seemed I had more time to watch the conditions. I enjoyed the pair faire and would do it again. No issue from me shooting an entire match using this format.

I have a kowa with the long eye relief lens and like it. I cranked my scope to 80 then left it and could see ok. I also tried to focus a little short and that seemed to help. 1,000 will be different for sure. I seemed to be able to shoot and see a little better when there was a little bit of wind.

My eyes get out of focus every now and then, I usually have to stop and take a break.
I did adjust my parallax between the second and third relay to focus what I thought was ‘short’ of the target. That seemed to help me see conditions better.

I think we shot second and y’all were 3rd and 4th.
There was something different each time, not a lot going on most of the day but no string was the same for me, I had to change my hold each time to be where I wanted to be.

I liked to see the flags moving Saturday. I watched the second flag most of the day. It seemed like I could see better with a little bit of wind. I left my scope on 80 all day. I did watch the mirage when I committed to my shot to make sure the flags were telling the truth…
I had a couple of shots go exactly where I aimed on the right edge of t…[Read more]

And don’t ever quit being you, Mr. Richard. Very few people could shoot a pistol as well as you.
