Think X-Ring said this one is just $10 since its a practice match.

Have not found the "magic load" yet....so its a good thing.. :lol3:


F-TR class for me

This is about as good a time as any to get that nice hunting rifle out and come give the new FPR class a whirl

One of our forum members wrote a handy registration, score keeping program for the Match Directors to use this year.

Looking forward to some improvement this year

We had our largest ever turnout today, 32 shooters. Last season our largest turnouts were 31 shooters in August and 30 in October. A pretty impressive turnout for a practice match. We had a lot of the regulars and probably around 8 or so new shooters. I hope everyone had a good time and decides to come back each month.

I agree Jimbo, a very good turnout. Match went really smooth considering we had that many new shooters. The wind made it a very interesting afternoon. It was good to see everyone back out. I think we will have a great season this year, we are growing with every match.

Since it was a practice match...some may not have even filled out a scorecard.

folks were testing different guns and loads...the feasibility of a new score keeping pgm was tested also.

But I think we gonna need a full time scorer to do it

Pretty tricky conditions yesterday...lots or mirage, haze and them were not no 5 - 7 mph SE winds Mr. Weatherman!

Great turn out for a practice. Most shooters took advantage of the day to shake down loads and equipment Jimbo was high F-Open shooter with 443- 18x out of a 450, Mil-dot was high F/TR shooter with 420-8x and Julius M. high FPR with a 379-5x. Some of the cards were not turned in and some are incomplete going to take a while to sort through.
