Can't shoot ducks in April so I got the Truck axel out and shot at a new range. Burbank Rifle and Revolver club.
This was a 600 yard midrange match. The match had sling shooters with iron sights, FTR 223 and 308 on bi pods and f-open. Strings were 20 shots in 20 min on 600 yard E targets. it can be intimidating shooting midrange with a 3" x ring and 6" 10 ring. Over all i shot ok, first match in a long time but i hope to build on it. 585 20x was my score, perfect would be 600 60x.
Gun shot was the 7 RSaum Eliseo chassis with a vortex GE 15-60 power scope, 2oz jewell trigger. Its not ideal for mid range, the dasher would have out shot it at 600 but i wanted some seat time behind the big girl for the 1000 yard match next month at the same range.
If you look at the flags they are blowing 3 different directions. Left, right then left again
On a deer it would not matter but hitting a 3" circle it does
First round i screwed up pretty good. I had not shot my rifle in a year and the barrel had been cleaned and oiled. I needed more fouling shots to get it settled down. The 10 on my last sighter before going for record made me think it was good to go. I got lucky and hit a x on the first shot but the next 3 sprayed for 9s. after that it got to work and shoot good only dropping one more point.
This round was my best. I did drop 4 points but also got 9x's. The 9s to be honest were mostly me not managing my recoil well. I need to slow down too. Its hard to go slow when you pump a few x's
Last relay i kinda fell on my face. The wind had layed down but i got sloppy with my rifle and it showed.
so this shoot was good enough for a NRA master classification. 3 points shy of a High Master the highest ranking the nra has. in mid range you have to shoot in the 98th percentile for fclass. so a 588 is the goal next time
had some added pressure too! the magician that does my barrels was at the shoot. Mark Chesebro is just as talented on the range as the machine shop shooting his FTR rig to a great score. You can see the cool bipod he made for his 308.
