Time for some high power, not the dream stuff that i just had.
Weather was excellent, blue sky pretty clear and very warm. Going up the golden gate and then onto the richmond bridges wasn't that bad, but i got to the range slightly late. So they tell me, the only spots available are on the 3rd relay. Ugh, do i really want to wait? i tell them i'm out, then they say that theres others shooting the 3rd as well. Oh i thought it was only going to be me on the 3rd relay, fine why not, i crossed 2 bridges and my stuff is here, lets do this.
200 Yard Slow Offhand: 184-2x
200 Yard Rapid Sitting: 95-2x
300 Yard Rapid Prone: 94
600 Yard Slow Prone: 95-2
Total: 468-6x
Horrible, i had a few shots where i should have stopped, but i decided to keep at it. Yes thats the overholding. My shots are getting sloppy and the past few months i'm not feeling it anymore for this anyway. Busting out the Rock River AR once a month to practice at home and then once a month to shoot doesn't really sharpen the skills. Since i've reached my goal of the master class, that was kinda it, done. The other other goal i wanted was to become a Distinguished Civilian Marksman, but that involves traveling to either East Sacramento or Coalinga to shoot in the top 10% to score points that will accumulate. I want something more challenging, something in the further distances, 300-400-500 yards. But i think the only thing closest to that are the 600 yard matches in Sacramento. Beh, wake up at 4am, drive 2+ hours to the east side of Sacramento, i dunno about that. There aren't that many long distance ranges in the bay area, Livermore used to have one, but they closed the long range stuff due to the housing madness. Yep you could blast out to 800 yards in Livermore, those were the good old days. Lately, fluffielady and myself have been feeling kinda bleh. Bleh! i tell u! What to do what to do. We don't even have anything planned for this 3 day weekend. merp!
