My shooting compadres have this to say to me:
"Once in a while a shower is nice. It's good to get a clean"
200 Yard Slow Offhand: 185-1x
200 Yard Rapid Sitting: 99-3x (Doh!)
300 Yard Rapid Prone: 100-3x (Pic above)
600 Yard Slow Prone: 98-3x (2 friggin 9's!)
Total: 482-10x (werd!)
Song in head: Some techno stuff, forgot what it was.
Weather was uniformly overcast so that wasn't bad.
i guess this jacket does work. i'm feeling at the beginning of a groove with this. Today was kinda whacked though. I decided to go shoot today instead of sunday, get there and it's a mob of people 34 or so. Normally it's under 20, so we had 4 relays of shooting, and lucky me, i get to be on the third, which starts around 11am. So it's 9am, what is there to do? I go drive off, fill up, venture around the hilltop mall area. Bought some $11 Sake from BevMo. Too bad i don't smoke, then i'd really be accepted by the ATF. Drove back arom 10:30 and the second relay just started. Jeez! Ok, headed over to the IPSC range to see if anyone i know is practicing. Nope, instead i got some possible ideas on tuning my revolver. yea baby!
Today there was alot of heckling going back and forth, kinda funny. We had the 2006 awards presented, and the theme was a kinda morbid, pass the torch kinda feel. Today i haven't seen so many youngins shootin, with one youngin age 17, Top scorer of '06. Yep he beat grand master O'Connell, but then O'Connell didn't shoot that much last year. He did win some western regional prone shoot. He won High Senior and Aggregate score, the match consisted of 3 days of shooting 600-700-800 and 1000 yards, each with 45 seconds a shot. He's my hero.
At the rapid sitting i thought i was going at it a bit too fast. Since i churned out a 99, i'm not sweating it. Using a different sitting position technique. Seems to work way better than before. Before i was sitting indian style which hunched me over a bit too much, so now my legs aren't tucked in as much. Jacket works well now, i'm not sweating like mad anymore. I can sense it, soon i will be in zen with the rifle.. yes..
