Looks like the 10K is completely sold out. One time frame left for the 5K, though.

Yeah, probably going to be out on this one. But we're more than likely going to the Farrell one in Meridian at the end of March.

Well fuck. I bought the last sunday ticket. I'll be there first thing in the morning to try and run early.
Got my M203 leaf sight today. No quadrant sight for me. Looking forward to dumping some M781's for score. |

Sweet! I just signed up for the 5k (10am-12pm) block. It's still right at 2 hours away, but it's a bit closer than Dilley. I wish it was about 45 min away, I could sleep later.

Running Saturday at noon. Haven't done an OED race before, but they look pretty good. I'm excited to get on the course!

Good chance you'll be able to pull something off the prize table. Hope to see you there. Start hydrating a few days prior. |

I decided yesterday after a 2 mile run with it on that I'll do all the 5k's for OED's races in it. Now I have to order another 40mm pouch.

I just built an 18" that is H E A V Y. I don't think I'm going to bring it to the next RNG, but it might make an appearance at some point in the future. |

I will say, a max distance of 300 was a bit surprising. Was expecting something a little more salty, but I'm not going to complain too loudly. I'm just glad to have an excuse to run around in the woods with guns.

The max distance for each match will depend on the terrain at a given venue. At Bandera we saw something like 5-600 yards or so because the terrain was very permissive for such things.
The good news about the 300 yard max distance is it keeps it within range of my M-203 and I may try for that. lol. |

Don't get too excited about the 300yd max distance. In my experience, that's code for "tiny, partially obscured targets".

I'm running Sunday in group 3 at 1pm, which means I can stay for the prize table (for once). I'm also flying solo, my wife wants me to pull out because I'm on day 5 of COVID but I had the last batch of monoclonal antibodies (apparently) and I should be right as rain by then. I plan on jogging/running as much as possible. I'll be using the same guns and gear as I did at Stillwater's. I'd wanted to build up a new pistol but haven't had time. I hope I get to see the 203 in action.

Nice. Did you not have the plates on long enough to warm up? We did a night shoot a couple months ago when it was down in the low 40's and I had my pc on for 4-5 hours. When I took it off I realized how cold it was since the plates had warmed up and were keeping me warm.

The reality is the vast majority of competitors aren't running lights on their guns though. Even when I finish my dedicated run and gun rifle sometime late this year, I'll still have a light though. Because weapon lights are just one of those things to me. I have one on my hunting/PRS rifle, lol. |

Better safe than limited. |

Not bad shootin. No light needed on the shoot house, but I agree it would be easy to make it where you would need one. I also run a light on my 18" SPR.

Not too worried about the cold. Only thing that's gonna make that a big issue is a creek crossing or something along those lines. That's gonna suck.
That said, RO'ing would be a lot colder than running. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You're the guy who left that rifle on the table in the RO room during awards. Everyone was eyeballing it. How did the chalk(?) work out? How much does that cost per shot? Can you find actual explosive rounds and pay a tax stamp on each one? If so, how much? Yeah, that was mine. Got good effects on stage 5 on those rifle targets in the draw with one round. The second one hit a branch and ruptured. So had to hit those with the rifle. I'm not nearly rich enough to be able to afford the infrastructure to store and transport actual HE. Or to afford the quality of rounds that would be necessary for a manufacturer to bother dealing with me. It's about 17 bucks per chalk round though. Posted results for the 5k in the OP. |

Quoted: Glad I'm in shorts and a Hawaiian shirt. Chaser Quoted: 10/10. Lots of thorns. Wear pants. My legs are shredded pretty good. Probably could have seen that coming. ~~~~~~~~~~ Super fun event - had a blast. Wind was a bit much but targets were all close, so can't blame the wind for shooting issues. Need to run faster. Very pleased with all my gear except my medical - fell off my belt twice, so that's getting replaced. Thanks to everyone who made it happen. Can't wait til the next one. |

I can't make that because of Twilight up in Oklahoma. Even with a shoothouse, it's hard to pass on night vision events since there are so few of them. |
