There ya go. Nothing personal guys, but I hate being at the night match and hearing the bolt close on an AR back behind me somwhere... Like it is OK to finger-fuck your rifle at the night match but people wouldn't do it at a match in the day light. edit: just to clarify the above statement, the night match is very safe and well run. I didn't want to give the impression that it isn't. "nothing personal guys" was directed at new shooters who may have wanted to come to the night match as their first taste of PR, not at the event organizers. I highlighted those portions in red to indicate that I support the policy that new shooters are not allowed to come to their first PR match at a night shoot and there are no breaks given to late comers. To me, those policies are mature decisions that might not be popular but are a reflection of the hard work and dedication to safety that goes into organizing those night matches. |
So do you think we will need a standard case for December PR or can we use a case that we can store a take down rifle in? Like do you think there will be a stage where we uncase and load and then shoot as part of the stage? or will it mostly be at the point of the RO telling us to uncase and load and make ready? Lemme know so i don't bring the wrong case.. I like the take down case cuz it's COO OOlz

Snapshot time: Gunkata shoot around the barrel:  Gunkata gets down in the mud (rare shot of the bolt pausing in the rear position):  You put your hand in that?  Westside takes on the long range targets:  Using a knife to clear a double feed:  Moving on to the next position:  Emerald lake:  Can you see the targets?  They are small:  NoAim takes aim:  NoAim aim:  NoAim run, feet in air:  New kid shoots in his first Practical Rifle match:  The rest are mostly duplicates, so that's it for this time.

A big “thank you” to Terry for stepping into the match director’s shoes and putting on a great PR match. Stages were challenging, it ran smoothly, and it finished at a reasonable time. I’ve been told that scores can be found here: spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pXhlxHwKFGef8jKmGno7vJg Also, “thank you” to the new participants for jumping through the hoops required to participate – we hope you enjoyed yourselves and we hope you’ll return. ac |
Spray and pray? Actually I finally learned how to do well at PR. Don't miss. I really concentrate harder on actually hitting my targets than being fast. And it usually works. Well, except for the stages where I can out run the old men down the course.
